To prevent the mortar drying out too quickly we regularly wet down the brickwork to control their suction. It is amazing how quickly the bricks dry out again after being wet down. The bricks are also wet down prior to being laid. (This is the cavity side of the brickwork which will be hidden, so the mortar joint is not as well presented as the facing side - but the otherside was not in the sun!).
