Using repair and pointing mortar

Longshanks · 20 Jul 2021

Morning

Bought Bostik version of this. I have to fill in gaps between a few paving slabs (eight), and with previous mortar repair, could just brush into gaps, watering slightly.

I’ve read instructions with this, and seems to involve making wet mix before using. I wondered if anyone had used this product “the other way”.

Hope that makes sense.

(Slabs at front of house, so v visible. Thought less messy if I could brush mortar into gap, then get the watering can out?)

Thanks

I take it the previous one is no longer available? How big are the gaps to be filled?

Thanks for response. I think I may have picked up wrong one on my haste?

Gaps vary between a few cms and an inch.

I’m not entirely sure if you can do what you’re suggesting, and I’ve never used it that way before. If you can are you able to mix it, and just point it as if doing a wall?

Yep. Think I’ll have to do that now.
