Was team convinced quick-setting mortar was a gimmick, now I swear by it after a retaining wall job in Austin last June | Bricklayers - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals
Man that Texas heat is no joke, been there with mortar turning to dust before you can even butter the block. Quick-set really does make a difference when you're fighting the sun like that.
I saw a masonry contractor on YouTube talking about how quick-set saved him on a big wall in Texas heat. Said regular mortar was drying too fast anyway so the quick-set actually gave him more control.
Bet nobody's talking about how quick-set actually lets you work later in the day too. Regular stuff's useless once the sun hits it but with quick-set you can start up at 4pm and still get stuff done before dark.
