How to use a brick jointer?
A brick jointer is a finishing tool designed to smoothen the mortar joints between bricks. Follow these steps to effectively use a brick jointer:
Step 1: Guide and Smooth
- Guide the back of the tool along the mortar joint between the bricks.
- Use the curved portion of the tool to smooth out the mortar joint.
Step 2: Work Your Way Down
- Start at the top of the wall and work downward.
- This prevents falling dust and debris from affecting the freshly-jointed work.
Step 3: Don’t Cut Corners
- Take extra care when reaching corners to ensure the mortar joins up neatly and the regular curvature is maintained.
Step 4: Avoid Vertical Over Horizontal Joints
- Do not use the jointing tool to create a straight joint vertically across horizontal joints.
Step 5: Joint Internal Angles Alternately
- Form internal angle joints alternately from the left and right across the vertical joint.
- Alternate the direction as you progress down the wall to ensure the longevity of the mortar in that region.
Step 6: Check Each Line is Level
- Ensure each line of bricks is level during construction using a spirit level. This ensures the joints are even.
Step 7: Vertical Joints First
- Joint vertical joints first, also known as end joints, head joints, cross joints, or perpendicular joints.
Step 8: Horizontal Joints Second
- Joint horizontal joints second, also known as bed joints.
Step 9: Remove Excess Mortar
- Cut off excess mortar with a trowel to prevent it from drying on the wall's surface.
Step 10: Brush Brickwork
- After jointing, brush the brickwork with a soft brush or broom to remove rough edges or any bits of mortar on the wall"
