Here is a live demonstration on how to point / re-point using lime mortar. It shows you how to prepare, fill, and finish the process to produce a strong and aesthetically pleasing result.
My NHL 5 lime mortar is too coarse to be pushed through a gun (it just squeezes the water out and then blocks up). What makes his lime mortar more plastic than mine?
All very good untill the wet lime is gunned into the joints. Water equals weak mortar and shrinkage. might as well used playdough, it would be stronger. Always have your mix the consistancy of brown sugar and push it straight away into the joints. Guns are for cement mortar.
the best way to repoint is the tuck point tech.. he used in the beginning of video ,bags and guns are faster but are much more sloppy and leave air pockets. old school is always better you guys know that
bet he does nt eat his dinner that slow
