Masonry in a tube
 
Was wondering if the cement (mortar) in a tube is moisture resitant ? I'm
repointing a chimney only a section that I can't get at. Is this something
that I'm looking for ?
I had done alot of it with mortar but in the attic I can't get to a area, a
tube would work. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Mortar in a tube? You mean caulk, right. Mortar cures underwater by
chemical reaction, mortar in a tube could not be sold.

Well I guess it's some type of silcone with a sand grit. Quickete sells it a
tube, but I don't have eough info on it. The big stores don't really know if
it's moisture resitant.
So, yes it is some type of caulk from what I understand. Without structural
support , I'm not to worried about that . I'm more interested in moisture .
Thanks
