I need to mix up a small amount of mortar to fill a hole in red/brown
brick wall and i want to know if anyone knows what i could use to add
colour to the mortar to mactch my bricks. I know you can buy large
quantities of colouring but i only want to mix up a large dog food tin
quantity.

How about paint stainers for water based paints? I'm not 100% sure
that you can still readily buy paint stainers but you could try a
trade paint place. I couldn't guarantee that they would do the job...
but it has to be worth a try if nothing else.

Watercolour paint from an art shop? :)

Old Grizzly...
what size brush? LOL......

Graham...
I doubt they would be weather resistant.

And hope it doesn't rain ?? ;-)))

Old Grizzly...
Ah but it would be alright m8 coz it will be behind the glass LOL


MCC...
Have you any of the actual bricks, Len? One of them crushed up and added to
the mortar might do the job.

Old Grizzly...
Well i do have one or two similar. the target of the hammering LOL >

Haven't you got a nice healthy thumb. In my experience, that's what most
people seem to use. LOL

Thanks Mike. :)
