  • DIY how to grout brick and stone veneer, presented by stoneselex.com. You’ll get tips on how to use the grout bag and how to begin with thin veneer grouting We recommend an S-type mortar like KING 2-1-9. Mix it to the consistency of toothpaste. Make sure it’s not too runny or too thick so that when you put it into the grout bag it doesn’t stream out too easily or that it’s hard to squeeze. There is no exact formula for the consistency of the mixture. Watch Sebastian’s technique for checking when the mortar is ready for use. Squeeze the grout mixture into your joints and begin your DIY stone veneer with mortar joints. Let the grout set for a period of time before you rack or tool the joints and brush out the excess mortar. It’s not like grouting ceramic tile, DO NOT smear the mortar on the surface of your stone veneer as it would be hard to get it off the stone once it has set and dried. Once you’re finished and your workspace is clean, sit back and relax and enjoy your new DIY stone veneers grout installation For more information about thin stone grouting and to find out where you can purchase this DIY stone veneer products visit www.stoneselex.com

    Appreciate this video! I'm getting ready to redo the grout on the steps leading out the back door. The previous owner was cheap/lazy and used a clear silicone caulk. Pulled that all off yesterday, cleaned out a good amount of the loose grout. Ready to do the this part!

    FYI take it from me, you'll want to be careful as you can, and to not drip mortar on your brick work. Some craftsmen refer to it as "smearing" up your masonry work. What happens is that when you smear it up and it dries, you always have a mortar haze on the face of your brick. This is O. K. if you are going to wash it with a cleaner, but you really only want to use a typical cleaner solution outdoors and then only if you know what you're doing. Brick cleaner has a kind of strong acid in it that can damage stuff and make you blind and other bad stuff. It is possible to coat the face of the brick with a resist that keeps mortar from sticking, but that kind of keeps mortar from sticking where you want it to stick. There is a learning curve.

    I just did my first brick veneer wall on my kitchen island and I loved it with the mortar but then I used grout. It was awful messy and I planned on white washing it anyways but after the grouting thank goodness for that. It would probably look very unprofessional to a professional but I’m still more happy with it than my original wall tbh.

    I am grouting brick veneer in my kitchen and bought some premix grout, but the directions say to pre wet my tiles (in my case, brick) before grouting. You didn't use any water on yours, so I'm confused on whether or not I need to wet the bricks beforehand or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I recently tried to repoint my brickwork using a mortar bag as per this video and it was a disaster! The mortar seemed to separate in the bag when I squeezed it and all that came out the end was a dribble of dirty water…made a right mess. I tried increasing the size of the hole but that didn’t help. I ended up pouring the mix back in the bucket and using a trowel to fill between the bricks. Not sure why but this mortar bag technique certainly didn’t work for me.

  • @scottyw0tty420
    @scottyw0tty420 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    only critiques i would say are, the mortar was a little wet which can cause more mess than needed, and when brushing you should always brush up and down with a slight angle forwards, otherwise you are just brushing mortar out of the joints.

  • @marcgambone4240
    @marcgambone4240 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    All I got to say is that if you aren't familiar with working with bricks and mortar, take whatever scraps you have and set them to a separate piece of plywood and then practice the pointing before you destroy your brick. I would even suggest that you can install the brick and hire a pro to grout it. I can almost gaga that at the very least you will need to as if wash it when you're done

    I just attempted this. The mortar has to be very thick so that it doesn't run on a vertical surface. The demo has those panels angled back so the mortar stays in.

    • @LockedInWithLovebirds
      @LockedInWithLovebirds ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's just practice. Get the consistancy correct and it runs easy and sticks. There is a bit of technique to squeezing it in like going bottom to top or letting ends fill up and grab the sides.

    So do I NOT need to use a concrete bonding adhesive/glue to it before applying the mortar mix? I had seen another video where they applied the glue. But if I don't need it, I won't use it.
