The mortar in my sandstone foundation needs re pointing. From what I have read, modern mortar is too strong and can risk cracking the stone. Any advice on proper mortar I should use? I have read about lime mortar, but see conflicting reports on using hydrated masons lime versus fired slake lime? Can't find it anywhere.
