I bought a sample of a Jointing Compound, I'm trying to match an existing patio pointing. The colour match isn't bad, but the compound has dried with a very coarse grain. Is there a brand of jointing compound that is smooth like normal mortar?

I take it uve used brush in compound? All (as far as I'm aware) brush in compounds are granular.....I dont believe there is one that has a smooth texture. You would have to use mortar and point it in to achieve that look.
 
Yes it's the brush in type. I need to repoint some York Stone paving here and there. I also need to re-lay some capping stones on the surrounding wall and point these too (same stone). Thinking about it the brush in compound would be useless for the capping stones.

Is there a ready mix grout/mortar I can use for pointing that finishes like mortar, and can be pointed in just like mortar? I need it to be a near match to the existing buff mortar?

thanks,
