I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but here's what's worked well



Nor me; however, doesn't the nature mortar mix depend on factors like
the age of the building, type of bricks, how it was built in the first
place etc? My understanding is that, for example, if you use too hard
a mix than was intended, and/or which is impervious to water, you're
likely to cause severe future damage, isn't that right?
