Default "Pointing " mortar mix and method

If the building is made from soft brick, and lacks good foundations
and expansion joints, eg typical Victorian construction, then the mix
above should not be used, as it is likely to result in damaged and
broken bricks. So it does depend what you have. Victorian built
garages do exist, as do more modern soft brick ones, so I cant assume
this is not an issue.


Ok, fair point - I've only used the above on stone and concrete block.
