I am using a pre-mixed mortar, and the instructions say simply "add water until reaching desired consistency". Seems the bag is oozing the moisture when trying to squeeze it so it probably as a few tiny holes in it. UltraScape cempoint should be tooled off whilst wet to the required profile by the use of a standard pointing tool. By applying Cempoint with a mortar gun, the grout is able to reach intricate areas, leaving a clean, tidy and professional finish. If you spooged it onto the face less than a day ago, you can probably flick it off with the butt end of a carpenters pencil or such, then go after it with a stiff brush.

Cempoint is now available in Natural, Light Brown, Light Grey, Dark Grey, Sandstone, Yorkstone, White, Dark Brown, Brick Red, Black. Repoint masonry with this color-matched Type N and Type O mortar formulated to be more fluid for application using a grout bag. One thing to remember when mixing thinsets and grouts-or at least one of the many things- is to do your mixing and then let it sit for about five minutes. When dry enough not to smear – cut mortar “tags” from the surface and then brush across joints with a dry, soft bristle brush. Test cleaning methods prior to beginning to ensure they will not adversely alter the color or texture of the joints.I'm using the same mortar the brick layers used outside (ready mix) which I saw them use in a grout bag for the brick along the sidewalk but I can't get it to work. Ultrascape Cempoint has a working time at 20°C of 45 minutes, and can accept foot traffic after 12 hours and vehicular traffic after 24 hours.

Color-matching repointing mortars by adding color in the field can produce shades of color that vary from batch to batch. Factory blended mortars are more consistent but often require a higher minimum quantity than a project requires.Actually that's pretty good advice, with the caveat that if a hot dry breeze kicks up overnight, you're scrod. Available VE (Viscosity Enhanced) formulas to allow for pumping, bag install or when greater workability, extended working times are desired. Just started to grout my stone veneer wall but this is all new to me so I’m struggling and learning. Fill the bag with mortar then twist the top end of the bag – this will force the mortar out of the bag and into the joint openings.
