  • bet he does nt  eat his dinner that slow

  • 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?

  • .... how not to point !!

  • he is just spraying a small amount of water

  • 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.

  • Thank you very much for the demo and the insight and explanation later on,

    much appreciated

  • 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

  • this guy is getting paid by the hour ...

    slow....

  • He is just spraying water on to stop the bricks drying the mortar to quickly

  • would anyone please tell me the name of the spray he is using? What is he spraying?
