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

the best tool is one of those wheelie things with a nail in it?
Rather than
the TCT rasps for angle grinders? They look a mite tricky to control?

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
aspects of ignoring all types of tile.
