lime flush pointing(1) 

Not used hotlime yet, what's your opinion on it any good or just a fad and is it easy to use?

Its so creamy, you start of mixing say a 3 and 1 but as it mixes the lime expands and you end up with a 1 and 1.5, you buy it in lumps so no danger of dust problems tarmac deliver big loads for brickwork but for pointing just whisk it, very good cohesion extremely high permeability it will dry out a damp wall

@@markanderson6969 Thanks, I'll have to try it 😁

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 if you wanted to have a read have a look at historical mortars by nigel copsey he also has some youtube demonstrations on mixing

@@Charlie-d4e Some bricks stain easily and some dont, you just have to take your time and not have the mix to wet.If its a difficult brick i sometimes have a pot of brick acid or white vinegar and a toothbrush and clean them carefully as i go. 3 and 1

It's made from a scrap piece of plastic facia board 👍

@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 Good idea. I don't use them much, but they do come in handy. Beats buying an expensive one.

Can't remember mate, online somewhere.

It was some kind granite it washed down spotless.
