I did some pointing (or something vaguely resemblant) last weekend using a bulk gun filled with mortar.
Successfully sqeezing mortar from the gun was variable so I thought i'd take some advice before finishing the job as for the most part I was squeezing the water out then knocking the mortar out of the tube.
I was using readymix, which was somewhat sandy, I wondered if I would be better mixing my own with a bit less sand. And as for wetness, when fairly wet the stuff squeezed out well initially but it seemed too easy to separate out the water so I'm wondering if i'd be better off with a stiffer mix. And plasticiser? Will that help? I did put some washing up liquid in the mix (I saw a builder I worked with some years ago do it).
Frankly any advice would be appreciated.
Ta, Rick
