Have tried to find some concrete info on whether plaster mortar c is equivalent to colored-through mortar, e.g., Finja discoloration mortar vs plaster mortar c hand combimix

Can someone quickly explain to me if there is any practical difference? My intention is to apply it to a brick facade.

Colored-through breathes more than painted plaster, any other advantages?

Where are all the bricklayers hiding! Do I need to retrain to understand more in this industry? :crysmile: is there anyone accepting an intern? ;)

Generally speaking, it's not the mortar that's expensive, it's the time. Why take a chance? Outdoors in such a sensitive area as a facade (and which will be difficult to fix if it doesn't turn out well), I probably wouldn't take a chance, definitely not near the ground or in a place exposed to water. The back of the garage, which is not visible, might be a place one could take a chance on...

It's probably true that I've placed the thread wrong then.

No exactly, you don't want to take a chance with it, but that's partly why I wonder if there's really any difference between them other than the color itself.
 
Check the difference in the size of the ballast, meaning the sand. Putsbruk C usually has up to 3 mm. This means you need to apply a layer thicker than 3 mm to avoid stones ruining everything when you start scrubbing.

I am not familiar with the other product, but a säckskurningsbruk sounds like it is intended for just that, i.e., ballast with smaller stones, often 1mm. Choose according to your needs.

There is plaster c hand, 0-1mm. But you are right, the stone is finer in the sack scrub bag, selected for the color, etc.
