Pointing brick slips

[Perry]

I use a easy point gun from screwfix , we fill it with an empty 1ltr milk plastic bottle with half the bottom cut off. Works a treat, but if useing sand and cement you need to add some feb mix and whisk well. Tap the barrel empty before reloading. I used to repoint loads in a past life and find the gun great for grouting large tiles.

Thank mate but it's all I do nowadays it does work yes but have specialist guns nowadays you would not believe how quick they are compared with the rest but keep it to myself as my main competitors copy me and try to undercut me everywhere I go

I ve got an idea as I ran a gunpoint franchise for 10 years, those machines do 70m2 a day. In the good old days at £15 a m that was a good living.

It's hard work trying to get bricklayers builders achetects to even listern they won't believe it till you show them but that's the hard bit they won't even look :mad2:
