Applying the mortar
The aim of applying the mortar is to consolidate the whole of the dry assembly and to fill the gaps
.
The mortar is hydraulic, so you’ll
need to wet the dome thoroughly.
Mix the mortar according to the instructions on the bag: 5 litres of water per 25 kg bag.
Wet the dome with a sponge or small watering can, having first protected the inside of the oven with
newspaper.
Apply the mortar from the top downwards.
Fill all the gaps thoroughly and carefully cover the base of the smoke adaptor.
Leave to dry for approximately 2 to 3 weeks until all the moisture has gone.
The drying time varies according to where the oven is sited (indoors or outdoors), the ambient
temperature, the amount of water used to apply the mortar, etc.
The main thing is that the mortar and the oven should be properly dry before adding the insulation.
