Got to do a fair bit of pointing soon, old stuff pretty crumbly so I assume

I've also seen a sort of sealant gun for mortarhttp://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand+Tools/Builders+Tools/Pointing+Gu...

Are these any good? *Bit wary after spending money on a Durgun which was
useless (I know its for a different application).


Save yer dosh, Medders;
Step 1: Extend forefinger;
Step 2: Fold down all other fingers towards palm;
Step 3: Tuck thumb over joints in folded middle finger;
Step 4: Align tip of extended forefinger with item to be indicated.
Right, that's pointing, next week...tile cutting - we'll cover all
