Looking for something inexpensive to repair my front steps who need a little TLC. Thank you for this video! Did not want to spend $60 at HD and only using it once.
You can buy a "grout bag" for 7 bucks at HD. This is basically exactly the same as an icing bag, but larger. I had to trim the tip down a bit to increase the flow to how I liked it, but I think the grout bag is a much simpler method for smaller projects. If you're going to be tuck pointing a larger project, the caulk gun might be a much better method.
Well said , there are more broader things with this that you can do like epoxy grout and other grouts that are simulate to epoxy which is hard to do with a grout bag, a grout gun is more accurate and cleaner to use. This is a good alternative than going out and spending over $150 for a proper grout gun that when the seals wear and parts wear out you have to buy them again. I have tried both methods, and the grout gun wins buy a mile for me weather the job is small or big.
Thank you 🙏 you need to clean it out after every use so it works properly and not leak from were the back cap is, eventually it wears out and you just use another one

That's a brilliant idea mate! Do you clean it out after every use or can you just cap it for use later?
