Looks like I have a deep red lime pointing mortar with brick dust on a
restoration job, and am thinking about replicating the original, hoping that
the original color can be largely recreated through the brick dust and that
the dust would add to the setting properties of the mortar. But before I go
too far down this track, does anyone know of a US source of brick dusts?
The color appears somewhat darker than any of the bricks that might be
salvaged from the building.  I have a source in England but transporting
brick dust across the Atlantic seem a little farfetched, as it were. Any
comments, helpful if possible ?
