[phillyflash43]

you're not done until you lick your fingers clean!

[phillipmccrevis]

Is it legal to provide this level of misinformation?

[MrBighead67]

what a shit video, ever heard of a pointer mate ? lol

[Membersonlyableto]

or if you've got a five year old let them do it.

[RudePoint]

THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT.

[MrWoofie62]

If that guy is an expert, i must be a chuffin` genius ! Where did he learn that technique ? From watching Mr Bean or the 3 Stooges ! Somebody should introduce him to a Builders Merchant for a Hawk & Trowel,or at least "Point" him in the right direction.

[Invictus2091]

I'm In Local 1 Bricklayers & and allied Craftworkers Union out of New York City. I work with Brick and Mortar all day Long and this guy is a complete moron. First off you need your mortar to be a bit dryer than what he's showing, and use what is known as a hawk, or the back end of the trowel you will need to mix the mortar, to set your mixed mortar on. Then you will need a tuck pointer to push the mortar into the joint between the brick. Mortar should be moist but not wet, as it will stain

[RudePoint]

I've given you a thums up !

best laugh I've had in ages, thanks.

[NoOneGreaterThanHe]

can you imagine living in Expert Village?! ..It would be like a mixture between 'One flew over the Cuckoo's nest' and 'Day after Tomorrow'..lol

[DemonCleaner1977]

@NoOneGreaterThanHe hehe....  Yups, that's 5 parts 'Cuckoo Nest' - 1 Part 'day after Tomorrow' I'd say.

[EndoMetalSkeleton]

thanks mate

[MarcianoMMA]

"Nothing beats applying this with your finger tips"... what an idiot. People, i work with cement, lime, bricks all day long and trust me, the less you get on your hands the better. it will suck the moisture from your hands and it will cause the skin to crack and its sore. do not follow this plonker.

[dragon76dc]

[enmil]

this was the most stupid thing i ever seen. the title should be how not to fill gaps in brick mortar..

[stevecoterell9]

expert village also do Soccer/ football tutorials there shite as well .

[allenfromperu]

get a 1/4 "slicker for $3.99 dumbass , also you got to joint it / wire brush the stains and light brush it with a broom .

p.s wet mortar is corrosive so you definitely want to wear gloves.

[sk8gij]

[simonsigns]

[brickclimber]

ehehhehhehe finger jointing, hehe theres tools for that hehee

[thebrickinator]

this video shows the importance of experience, oh and this guy doesn't know shit.

[Chroniclogical420]

expert hey? best way fingers? whats wrong with a jointer?

and really you dont need to wet it ( thought you were worried about water?) u only ever wet the joint if say yout filling in joints above windows or doors when they are upsidedown because the dampness helps the mortar stick instead of falling out

[paulturfrey]

This guy's an EXPERT ?

Click here, I'll show you how to do it.

[Tomal4lo]

he made me lol

[AUBRI92]

how 2 fill gaps in your mum that is shit u never wanna get muck on the face of your wall

[eastmids10]

muppett

[featherian]

oufff

[botts2k8]

or you could just use a grout bag like a normal person and strike in or rake ur joints. im sure its a pain getting smeared mortar off them brick...esp those textured brick

[clubsoda69]

Can you fill my crack with your finger? :D

[speckspeck]

get a book at the library and look under brick pointing.....then use a hawk or flat sheet of metal and slide the raw material with the pointing tool, push the exact amount into the crevice and don't make such a mess

[karloflaherty]

you sir are a fcuking douchebag u sicken me you fooking prik

[spazmoso]

id hate to see what a rank amatuer would do

[dizzy67]

Classic. Using his fingers. This MUST be a wind-up?

[dizzy67]

Why is he out of breath ? Has he just been furiously w@nking?

[dutchmaya88]

HE probably charged 2500 $ for this job !

[MrImranstheman]

oh my days, i thought i was an amateur, this guy has made me laugh so much, that my diy anxiety is at an alltime low, for now, oh shit my angers are back

[PuckHogs]

Jesus dont use your fingers. Its not a concave joint its a rake joint. Use your slicker to fill in the joint and then use a tool called a rake. Dipshit

[shawnstam]

can you fill my crack?

[fungusfoss]

He's not right in the head!!!!!!!

[paulturfrey]

what a pratt !

[FranzJosefHidin]

He must have been out of chewing gum...

[StudioMixxx]

wow that was loads of info. im gonna go build a house now.

[GaryBL]

Hehe, this guy may be an expert from expert village, but his expertise is definately NOT in brickwork.

[trje246]

what if i can't find any fingers?

[elburromedia]

well prepared endeed and who cares about Protective equipment...

=(

[defjef333]

this video is wind up, has to be.

[VideoGuyNC]

Actually - the propper equipment for the job is something brick layers call a rat tale. You would use the rat tale which is like a short-blade knife with the curved blade to work the mordar into the crack and give that nice, uniform indented line to match the rest of your joints.

[axelgs1]

what a load of pug!

[tritty84]

I use poo

[houston5627]

This is worst than a poor rating. Homeowners forget it!!!!!!!!!!!!!In the worst way. Please remove this video. I can explain why no only is this the worst thing you can do but would cost you possibly several hundred dollars more to clean the mess up and redo it right.

[henno1234]

you criticise him and say how bad it is but you dont say how he is doing it wrong!!! well??? how do you do it bigshot?

[ThomWithKawliga]

first and foremost. you're an idiot. secondly, its called a slicker. look it up.

[doddlesock]

is this video a kind of spinal tap for us brickies

[kevfranwillaus]

Fuck me! He's a bigger cowboy that John Wayne.

[and1c]

LOL!!!! true!

[1fish212]

no try putting it with your knob mate. twat.

[dickshine]

White boys and bricklaying dont mix!!!!!

Rubber gloves...........what are we washing dishes!!!!

If you claim to be a real mason...

The hands are in a sense gloves due to the abuse and over working required to be a mason.

[DannyBoy21102110]

what an idiot i hope he is jokeing i could name many resons why this is bad and will not fix the problem but you prob already no

[pawelsokol]

Doing repairs like this guy is asking for disaster. You will find yourself paying more to clean wall after you complete job then it is worth it in the first place.

If You need tuck pointing done in Chicago area call me I`m profesional 773-589-2091.

[axelgs1]

nice one

[owenmxz600]

this guy is a moron....

[moderate1]

that was such a bad way to fix a common problem.

please don't follow his example if you want your wall to look clean.

in Canada we use pointing bags which are like the bags used for decorating cakes,but for masonry work.

[Tozzywozzy]

I agree with you all. Thought the same thing before reading comments.

[randylayhee]

ya I agree with grinch, if you like Lime eating your finger tips do it this way, post proper information expert!

[TheOldGrinch]

If your going to do it , do it the right way.

[irishwolfhound1987]

Obviously americans never heard of a pointing trowel

[dickshine]

fuck you irishwolfhound1987 in the u.s. we use tuck pointers
