Solution for masonry stove

Here is one recipe solution for masonry stove. Made solution for masonry as follows: - sift sand through a sieve - the clay lay in the trough (drum, pan), cover with water, stir, knead, leave for three days (during this time constantly mix the clay) - in three days strain prepared clay solution through a sieve into another container (trough, pan, etc.); woo you to have formed a clay creamy mass without lumps and foreign matter - then it is best to prepare test solutions. Here's how. If the clay is thin, make four portions of the solution (0,5 liters), adding to the clay 0.1, 0.25, 0.75 and 1 part sand. For oily clay - 0,5, 1, 1,5 and 2 parts sand. Everything thoroughly, you "feel" the sample of these solutions. Take a ball of each solution (5 cm in diameter) was placed between smooth bars, compress, and see the result of such compression of the ball. Ball from one solution has shrunk by a third diameter and formed large cracks? Hence, the solution is high plasticity, such a solution and fits better than any other masonry. Thin cracks - a strong indicator of the plasticity of the solution, large cracks formed in the beginning of compression - poor plasticity, these solutions for the masonry stove is better not to apply. Another recommended method of checking - dried balls thrown and evaluate the result: if the balls falling from the meters to the floor does not fall apart, you get the optimum solution for a masonry stove. Spread or cracking balls - a sure sign that the solution from which they are made, it is better not to use. By choosing to test portions of the solution, cook it at the rate of 100 bricks about 2 buckets of clay and 1.5 buckets of sand. At first, pour into a trough (tray, etc.) sand, then clay, sand again, then water and stir. Strain the solution through a sieve. The solution should resemble the consistency of thick cream, sliding with a trowel, and not spread on it. You can increase the strength of the masonry, adding to a bucket of solution 150 g of salt and 0,5-0,6 liters of Portland cement (but no more!). Pre-and salt, and cement poured water (cement to form a creamy mass), then poured into a solution of clay and sand mix. For laying pipes above the roof and the basement is usually used a solution with the addition of lime paste (1 part cement, 2 parts lime paste, 10 parts sand). First of cement and sand are preparing a dry mixture, and lime putty is diluted with water to a creamy mass. A mixture of sand and cement to fill up a lime paste, mix, add water. Remember that an hour later, this solution was used to stack anymore.
