Pnu-Point Pointing Tool - Time-saving Mortar Gun

The Pnu-Point Pointing Tool video we made back in 2003. A great mortar gun powered by low-pressure compressed air (32 psi/2 bar), the tool has no moving parts, so nothing to go wrong as long as you keep the tool clean.

Is that Jason Statham talking, lol.

Last thing I'd use on brickwork

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

its fine on brickwork but not 2 bar ! comes out way too fast for small joints, smaller nozzle and maybe 1 bar pressure itll be fine?

this was not made in 2003. it was made last week. bisby has a younger brother who looks like his twin. he only comes out during lockdowns.

[@luketaylor8602]

How about a podcast on self employed builders surviving difficult times/recessions etc please Roger? It would be a big help in the current climate and no doubt you've got some good stories. Interesting to see some re-pointing videos as a bricky, cheers 👍

[@petemoring67]

I found a machine like that under the wife's side of the bed ..... I thought it was a 'Turkey-Baster' ....... Who Knew EH?? ;-)

[@MrYeahyouknow]

Looks like it's quite wet and a bit messy. Seems like it might stain the edges of bricks and slabs. Although if it doesn't I wouldn't mind one as repointing is a pet hate of mine and anything to make it quicker and easier is welcome.

[@MrRorZzo]

Loving the amount of videos at the minute👍

[@excavator31]

Years ago, I did random stone pointing on very old farm buildings etc after they'd been renovated into dwellings. One of my most memorable ones was a beautiful old building 70'x30'x40' gable ends with very small windows. It was all stone. Took 2 of us 3weeks solid to chase out and 8 weeks to re-point. The idea was to be able to see every stone as an individual with no cement at all on the stone. This gun pushes it out and it looks like it goes everywhere. We pushed our cement in manually, let it go off and then with the side of the trawl scrape it back half an inch then with the point, go around the stone and take off the excess and finally brush off the loose edges with a soft brush. Looked absolutely fantastic when we'd finished with no cement residue on the stone at all. What I want to ask is do you think you could have done it quicker with that tool.? because I think we did o,k.

[@whatyousaidbud]

I would be interested to see how it looks now, or after a pressure washer has been put over the patio.

[@gdfggggg]

I use one of those silicone gun type applicators. You must use fine/yellow sand or a sand with no larger bits in it like sharp sand and use plasticiser to stop the sand and cement separating from the water. Works a treat.

[@MrJFoster1984]

I thought this was a follow on from your other pointing video when it showed in my feed. Then it started and I thought, what has he done, had a shave, new hair cut? 🤔 🧐 Then I realised it was an old video 🤦‍♂️ I have used the quick point gun a fair bit on a cordless drill. Can get big metres in with some one following on behind you with it. Cheers 👍

Is this back in the BBC days? Helping out on Rogue Trader?

[@johndaniells4440]

Reminds me when I first saw one of your videos Roger. Mostly on renewables and the associated plumbing. I found them really informative. Long time fan you see 😉

[@SkillBuilder]

Thanks John. You have a long memory.

[@johndaniells4440]

Thanks to u for all the info and vids over the years Roger. Many more to come I hope. All the best.

How did you know to make KZbin videos......before KZbin was invented?

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

lol youtube wasnt a creation of editing ya own videos u know ! people were making online videos in the 90s and 2000s before youtube existed

[@SkillBuilder]

bad n bourgeoisie This was made for the client to send out on VHS. We then did and instore television channel for one of the big merchants. I was working for magazines and DIY publications back then producing encyclopedias and I was then looking at selling tutorial videos. Everything clicked into place when KZbin started.

[@SkillBuilder]

We are all on borrowed time

[@katabrontes]

My experience with the PnuPoint is that the consistency of the mix is critical. I use a much lower pressure, about 0.8bar. You also need to be sure there are no small stones in the mix or it will jam. Once you get used to it it works very well especially on stone as it really does fill right to the back.

[@SkillBuilder]

That is precisely the problem I have. The building sand often has small stones and even some rendering sand, such as Leighton Buzzard is lumpy.

[@katabrontes]

Skill Builder I always sieve the sand before mixing. I found plasticisers useless with lime mortar mix and use fine powdered soap which works very well. The precise process of the mixing is also critical with lime mixes. Once you get all this right it works very well and wastage is minimal.

[@SpecieltBrugenavn]

@@katabrontes could you explain how you do your lime mix in more detail?

[@yvaha7241]

Where to buy??

[@jakestanton1350]

2003! Looks more like 1993 haha

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

then u have never seen the very poor quality of camcorders in the early 90s ! 1993 was way worse quality

[@markneilson6380]

How do you feel about dashing the gunned mortar with stone grit or clean sharp sand to achieve the exposed aggregate look of classic heritage mortars?

[@Timothylaing]

Does it do doughnut fillings?

[@SkillBuilder]

What flavour?

[@rob.bateman]

I've observed you spend a lot of time on your knees roger without knee pads being a plumber your knees must be suffering at your young age I know mine are maybee a video on knee pads might be an ideal

[@byronhackett3853]

What happened to the quality 😂

[@byronhackett3853]

Filmed on a cheep dash Cam

[@SkillBuilder]

The quality was not there yet. Watch old television stuff and you will see how bad is was.

[@SkillBuilder]

Rob Batemen I don't actually kneel down very much and if I do I use knee pads. I am 67 and my knees are the best part of me. I am donating them.

No it really needs to be creamy. That is the biggest drawback.

that stone masonry one must be more of a time saver than any other when repointing very old gable ends where the stone arent uniform and very blocky ,i got RSI from doing stone rework cuz of keep padding in the cement
