Knocking up
- re-working lime mortar
to a stage when it is suitable for use.
It is seldom necessary to add water, and when it is added, it does not affect the quality of the mix, unlike
remixing most modern mortars and
plasters which have started to dry, where adding water is necessary and
is generally perceived as bad practice.
