i've got a slate flagstone walkway that's missing some large pieces of
slate. it looks like it was laid in a mortar bed and pointed with a half
inch gap. i'm looking to repair the parts of the walkway that have missing
pieces of slate. i've purchased enough slate and cut them to fit in the
vacant areas. i've jackhammered out the mortar bed and am ready to set the
new pieces of slate in the holes i've made. MY QUESTION IS: what type of
mortar should i use to set the slate in? i want this job to last for a while
and be strong enough for fairly heavy traffic. i have some type s mortar,
will this do the trick?
thanks for any suggestions.
