Instructions

The mix rate for each column indicates the number of 1-1/2 lb. dose-sized boxes (and weight) of pigment added for each sack of cement or lime.

Each column above shows a different addition rate (mix rate) of pigment to be added for each sack of cement or lime in the mix. The swatches represent mortar made with gray masonry cement and common sand, except the lightest samples which are made with white cement and sand.

True Tone colored mortar can typically be installed in the same manner as uncolored mortar. Follow instructions on True Tone box and Data Sheet and observe good masonry practices. Use sand and cement from the same source throughout a project. Do not use colors with calcium choride accelerators or other admixtures containing choride ions.

For full instructions, ask your building material dealer for a True Tone Data Sheet, or call a True Tone service center or e-mail sales and service.

These video reproductions are just for ideas. If you choose a color based on this screen, you may be in for a big suprise. Please finalize your selection from our printed color card, hard samples or job site test.
