Its it possible to use some sort of sealant gun to apply mortar to
joints in brickwork?

I have washed one out and used it for applying plaster into narrow
gaps. For mortar/cement you'll probably have to cut the nozzle to a
larger diameter.

Just suck it and see!

QVC have demonstrated such a gun, (Dugar) IIRC:
The nozzle applicator is a copper tubing off-cut which can
be deformed with pliers to the gap required - Two 'nozzles'
are included with the device - but thereafter you just cut-off
and deform what you need.

How do you get the plunger base (the bit at the bottom of the tube that
moves when pushed) out?

I've used one to repoint a house in lime mortar. Well worth the money
IMO, it saved lots of time. The only pain is filling it, I made
"sausages" of mortar on a flat surface and became handy at sliding them
from the trowel into the gun.

Apparently it works with "most mortars" that "don't contain sharp sand
or aggregates". Huh? If you use a fine sand with a lot of plasticiser
they might work I suppose...

That's a lot like one often demonstrated on QVC; they make it look very
good. (And if their idiot front men can use it, anyone can)

Des,
I used a long Chop Stick to push the plunger back before
refilling. It was quite a job and I did have to hit it with a 'mmer.
I've also got some long pieces of 6mm. dowel. Try a metal skewer.
