@@offshore557 Sorry for missing this. I just used some white Mortar from my local brick yard....mixed with some regular sand and also a little silica (quikrete arena) sand.
Sorry for late reply. This was the old chicago vino??? I think. The mortar was a custom mix. I used two parts regular mason sand to one part white sand with white mortar. My Wife didn't want it to be completely white. Thanks!
Love the final product!!! Looks great😀
