We talked with Aboudou (Aboudou Toure Tanko), the Jahn Mortar Whisperer and our Mortar Mixing Lead, about what he does day-to-day at Cathedral Stone Products. Since being hired over 13 years ago, Aboudou has honed his mixing and color matching skills to perfection.

Compatibility, long-lasting, accurate color... how you mix the mortar is critical to all of these.

Each year, Cathedral Stone reps are on the lookout for quality work being done with masonry restoration, preservation, and maintenance.
