It's been years since I have had to make some and I always use ready mix from the merchants.

How do I do it again? Is it white sand and cement?
 
Snowcrete and white sand if its very light snowcrete and ordinary sand if a bit darker

It's times like this that I miss my old apprentice who was an apprentice brickie before he worked out how boring it was. He used to do all the patching up and just got what he needed.
