The term ‘tuckpointing’ in North America seems to be used for what we in the UK simply call ’pointing’. Tuckpointing over here is something very specific; it entails flushing up the joint with a mortar colour matched to the brickwork and then tucking a quarter inch bead of contrasting colour mortar into it. There are several excellent videos demonstrating the technique on KZbin.

You should not need to acid wash if you are neat!! You are overfilling your verticals. I see that it appears to be a smooth face brick but I would get verbally assaulted for being this sloppy

Grout bags are awfully messy and tend to leave air pockets behind the new mortar. Try a tuck point trowel and Hawk…
@joshdornback77289 ай бұрын
Understand where your comeing from but in production it takes a lot longer to do. Any air in the joint should be taken care of when striking.

What a shocking job ! Don't bother coming to England to do any pointing ha ha, the second you got your icing bag out to start pointing you'd be gone. Why don't you just use your flat or round pointing tool to push the "mud" in with ?

not a proper crown no overhang drip edge or bond break Just a mortar wash that will fail and start weathering w\ithin months! I have been doing this for over 40 years as a chimney mason !

This is an interesting video but the proposition of working on a roof to retuck a chimney is almost impossible to imagine. One slip and you're done. But it's good to see the process by a professional.

@mariapomeroy3766 Жыл бұрын
Are there weather temps that should be avoided when tuckpointing? What is the optimal weather temp to do the work? 50 -75 degrees?
@aaa7189 Жыл бұрын
As long as the temp doesn't go below 40° at night and it can be warmer than 75 but, try not to do it the direct sunlight especially hot days unless you have done it many times. ( fast) It would be nice to do it in the shade ( make your own) on those days. or Late afternoon - Wait till you can see your thumb print before you strike. If using a tuck pointer and trowel, just do a little section at a time ex - foot square - till you get the hang of it. Make sure to keep the mortar off of the face of the brick. the mortar should be no wider than your tuck pointer / slicker when you pack it in

I'm a mason for over 30 years and I've been a masonry contractor for about 10. What you have seen in this video is a true professional doing a very professional job. That chimney will be good, like new, requiring zero additional maintenance, for at least another 10 years after his tuck-pointing work on it. Well done sir.

not a warranty question but how long should something like this last using the fireplace once a month? im near SLC-UT 🇺🇸 or best to call the masonry people? as the local chimney sweep said that it's about a 2-year job between when i need them again
