TIPS FOR POINTING DURING CHANGEABLE WEATHER

Weather can play a big part when pointing patios. Using the speed of the Point Master & LaFarge Extra Rapid Cement in a 3:1 mix, our tests on concrete paving joints were weather-proof in under 2 hours in temperatures just above freezing. Extra Rapid also has excellent bonding strength, which is ideal for paving and low suction work.

The fast and accurate tool for pointing and grouting

Designed for the trade, the PointMaster mortar pointing gun uses regular mortar or grout rather than expensive special mortars that can be costly or difficult to mix.

You don't have to make mortar suitable for the tool; It's designed to apply mortar or grout suitable for the job. Your mortar's strength isn't compromised.

Small stones left in the mortar mix won't block the nozzle as you work.

The PointMaster keeps it simple.

The PointMaster's trigger free design ensures a smooth and continuous mortar flow, by 'pushing' rather than 'squeezing' the mortar mix.

As there is no complex internal mechanism, efficiency and speed of application are greatly improved. This simplification has the added benefit of making the tool much easier to use.

It is robustly made and very hard wearing, which is vital given the abrasive nature of the sand contained within all mortar and grout mixes.

It is also extremely easy to re-load. Refilling the PointMaster takes just seconds, so there is little delay in getting your new mortar into the joints.

This all helps you to save the maximum amount of time.

Here the PointMaster is shown being used in different situations, with various mortar mixes including cement mortar, hydraulic lime mortar and bagged floor tile grout.

Point Master's adjustable nozzle means your mortar is injected directly into the back of the joint and fills completely, with little mess or waste. The simple mechanism and removable plunger makes refilling simple too.

This video clearly demonstrates both the speed and accuracy of the Point Master using regular mortars, thus saving a huge amount of time.

Compared with other pointing guns

How do I use PointMaster?

Keeping the tool at right angles to the mortar joint, apply hand pressure to inject the mix. Mortar or grout is applied right to the back, ensuring a complete fill, without air pockets.

As mortar fills the joint, move along, repeating the process until the joint is filled. If the joints are even, a continuous sliding motion is possible. For uneven mortar joints you should use a stepped process: place, fill, remove, move along, place, fill.

Allow time for the mortar to partially cure, then strike and finish as required.

Application is precise and extremely fast. Waste material is reduced.

Different by design:

High flow, offset, stainless steel nozzle is user adjustable to suit various joint widths.

The tool is suitable for multiple varied applications and different mortar mixes.

Ergonomic design enables the tool to be used for prolonged periods.

High capacity cylinder and flared loading end ensures fast application and fill cycles.

Simple, durable & robust, it is easy to clean. Product lifespan is extended
