mortar mix
 

I bought a bag of ready made mortar mix containing sand, cement and lime to
replace some crumbling mortar on my roof tiles.
Will the lime cause corrosion of the spouting?

TIA

No, the lime aids in plasticity and stickyness of the wet product, and it
heals microfractures in the set product.

Where did you hear that? Lead or galvanized jacks?
