Clean out joints. Can be grinded, scraped or brushed out. The deeper you go, the longer the patching will last. The joints should be at least ½ inch to 1 inch deep.

Brush the joints with a MASONRY BRUSH to clear out the sand. Then spray water on the area you are working on.

Mix mortar: Buy "Type N" prewith water in bucket using a MARGIN TROWEL. It should not be too wet or too dry, it should look and feel like fluffy mashed potatoes.

Scoop mortar onto your HAWK and flatten into a pancake. Use your JOINER to take mortar from the hark and place in your wall.

Let your work dry a little. When it crumbles off, use your MASONRY BRUSH to finish your work. This is important to create a good bond with the bricks.

•If you are working on a hot day, you may need to wet down your work later in the day. If it dries too fast, it won't harden properly.
