In this video I use an empty silicone tube and a silicone gun to see whether it is possible to use it for mortar repointing. I have tried a dedicated pointing gun, but I could not get it to work correctly if water was used to mix the mortar. These days I use SBR in a lot of mixes instead of water and that gives the mortar a creamier consistency. Obviously if you are going to repoint a whole house you will be better off buying a dedicated pointing gun, but for patch repair pointing you can use an old silicone tube.
