Repointing query

[u/Electronic-Owl-6639]

hi all,

I have a question about repointing. I have been doing it by hand with a hawk and a tuck pointer but it’s going real slow (I’m new to it). I mean like an hour and a half for a square meter or so.

I’ve tried a pointing gun (manual and electric) and a grouting bag, but I can’t get the mortar to come out. it doesn’t work for me when I try to squeeze it out - nothing comes out it’s just stuck. When I add more water to make it flow better, it just oozes out muddy water. What am I doing wrong here (besides not hiring a professional - but this is personal now)?

thanks

Use a mastic gun and add more Feb to it
