am from the UK bud a tip get a good black back then put all mixed mortar in it like a cake piping gun cut corner off or when you have 5 mins use plastic bottle cut to shape and super glue it then wrap elec tape around it that's what I used for some time gets filled quickly when working out side full brick job I put 3 to 4 drops of fairy in a cup of water and add it to the mix at beginning comes out so nice
I have the quick point mortar gun that runs with a drill and it works really good especially for stick on stone it comes with an additive for the mortar that keeps it creamy it has a small hopper on the top so it's alot easier to keep filling it without really having to stop I'm sure if you used the additive with this gun it wouldn't get clogged
@@ipfishing1466 it's called gibpro mrf it's like a plasticiser without it all the vibration from the drill causes the water to separate from the mortar and it can clog up pretty fast also stone veneer mortar works without the additive I would imagine because it already has plasticicer in it
@richardgrimbleby7853 I would think it works if you use the additive I've used a few different types of mortar but they were all some kind of ready mix like spec mix or amerimix with stone veneer mortar you Don't need the additive but regular type s will get clogged quickly without the additive because of the vibration it's a decent size hole it goes through and it has different tips it comes with
I use paddle mixer and when the water is not coming back to the surface good mix I like a weak mix of SBR to make it creamy. Not fed bond. Looking good 👍
I had a different brand gun..its all.in the mix.. I first mixed it by hand and no way would mix come out of gun..water kept coming out the back of gun..it would not push the morter out..next mix used small paddle drill nice and creamy and came out like out like mastic...mine and easy .
Hi mate great video. Looking at doing this as a total newbee . Once you have pointed how long do you wait before you sponge the residue off and so you use a wet sponge or dry ? Also any basic info would be great thankyou
With these bricks the mortar went of pretty quick it was around 10 minutes before I was sponging off but every brick is different, you can also brush the mortar with a soft brush and if it leaves brush marks in the joint then its to wet thats why I prefer a sponge because it don't leave marks in the joint.
First problem is the tube is so thin its difficult to load. Might be OK in an ideal set up like on a kitchen worktop inside your house but not so when you're on a scaffold dripping the excess through the battons!
No mix ratios needed as the brick slips come with its own bags of adhesive and bags of lime mortar for pointing so just mix the lime to a creamy mixture and not to wet that it falls out of the mortar gun

Sounds interesting what is the additive?

Can't see it working with lime mortar made with sharp sand

@@richardstetson8221 Unfortunately you cannot mis addatives to any type of lime mortar just lime sand and water 👍

Good shout I will try that next time👍👍
❤❤❤
I was unsure about getting one but you sold it to me nice one
They work good as long as you get that mixture right and clean them out when using now and again good luck

@@JamesCagney-g6z very easy to clean just get the hose pipe on it

Don't sponge any masonry, it will leave mortar residue, especially on porous bricks
Good review 👍!!
Brilliant im going to get this rough neck gun.

what mix ratio did you use ?
No mix ratios needed as the brick slips come with its own bags of adhesive and bags of lime mortar for pointing so just mix the lime to a creamy mixture and not to wet that it falls out of the mortar gun
