LIVE WEBINAR | Thursday, May 4, 2023 at 12 noon ET

A webinar for Architects, Engineers, and Specifiers active in the restoration and preservation of masonry structures.



Master Mason and Stonecutter, Dennis Rude, discusses how far we've come from traditional, lime-based mortars to our modern, substrate-specific mortars, and how these advances allow for proper masonry restoration that will last 30 plus years and costs much less than traditional mortars.


What will you learn on the webinar?

  • The simple secrets of long-lasting (maybe even forever) masonry repairs

  • Why using lime mortar today is very different than the historic use of lime mortar

  • The truth about polymer-modified (aka bonding agents) mortars

  • The science of repair mortars and true compatibility


Why should you register for the webinar?

  • Because you care about the building that you're restoring

  • Because your reputation depends on doing things the right way

  • Because you want the repair to last as long as the stone lasts


This webinar is for anyone who still specifies lime mortar.
