Hello group,

i have a small crack in my chimney top that goes around the
circumfrence completely. its a pretty small crack and there doesnt
seem to be any loose mortar, it just seems like the crack is about
1/16 of an inch. So what are my choices? Can i buy some cement
caulking and fill it, or do i need to grind out the mortar and replace
it with new mortar?

If i need to grind and replace, how can that be done? i have one of
those 4" hand grinders, can i buy a concrete grinding wheel to use for
removing that mortar?

How do i find or mix the new mortar? does it come ready mixed, just
add water?

tia for advice.

Is this crack in the mortar joint? the chimney cap? or the brick?
