Then a mortar composed ofone part of cement, to which has beenadded ten per cent of hydrated lime andthree parts of clean, .sharp sand, shouldbe shoved thoroughly through the rein-forcement, so as to form solidly againstthe roofing felt. Scratch this coat andlet dry two weeks, if possible. Then asecond coat of the same mortar as speci-fied for the first coat should be put onto a thickness of at least one-half inchover the face of the first coat. If theweather is dry and hot, this coat shouldbe wet down for at least three days, thenallowed to become dry before finishing-coat is applied.
