'Bricky' bricklaying aid.
This looks amazingly convincing but then again it is an advert. "You've got nothing to lose with the 30 day return if you are not 100% happy". This falls apart when you read the returns policy. i.e., Must be returned in all packaging and unused. Would appreciate comment from anyone who has used this device: http://www.brickytool.com/bricky_video.html mark |

Having read the other thread it would appear that you have to go round pointing up the joints afterwards. mark That bricky tool was made for walls with the cement course not to exceed the bricks,so one could make the bricky tools cement runner to exceed the bricks by putting two battens underneath the brick tool so that they act as a support on the layer of bricks beneath and the cement runner then can be as wide as the bricks. If you do think of aking one? you're gonna need a cleanable and smooth surface for the cement runner an ideal surface would be plastic but I would use a piece of Lainate flooring as the base. |

You might have to join two pieces together to get the right thickness of cement runner. |

Not the resin based laminate material,this doesn't swell but the compressed crap does which is the cheaper of the two. |
