I need help selecting a mortar for tuck pointing. I have a 105 year old house that needs some tuck pointing. The mortar is white and is about ¼ inch thick. I would like a white mortar if possible, but I think it would be more important for the mortar to be strong and binds to the brick strongly.
I've been to HD and Lowes and did a little Web searching. I see so many different types of mortars. Is it better to use a mortar with a polymer or latex in it?
I plan to use a group bag for pointing, if this would make a difference.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
