I wish cement was available in some kind of a tube like caulking.

I need to do some pointing on my old stone foundation. I have the cement but when I try and fill the holes between the stones, I end up with more on the ground than between the stones. If anyone has an idea how to squeeze cement into these cracks and crevices, I'd appreciate the input.

Got to love an old house.

This is a newly-lit bonfire, and no primitive's showed up at it yet.

Anybody have any ideas?

That is just too simple for their simple minds to comprehend.

How do thy mange to breathe?

Just like grout you DUmbass. Squish it in with a small or pointed trowel. Then push in with a wet rubber block and sponge of the access.

Mason's use a cloth tube, I think burlap, with a metal cone in the end, its shaped like one of those things they use for dressing up a cake.

They sell 'em at Home Depottt for about $25.

It's a canvas bag with a slick coating on the inside. It's called a grout bag. They also sell little hand held double ended trowels called pointing trowels. You whop out a glob onto a board or hawk and push it from board to brick lines.

It's very simple, and you don't have to spend money on something like a grout bag.

I'd strongly suggest to the DUmmy that he put redi-mix and water, in the proper proportions, into
his mouth.

Then just swish it around for a couple of minutes, and blow it out through a straw
into the crack or crevice he wants to fill.

Problem solved.

There actually is caulk that looks like concrete. Great for filling in cracks. I suggest the DUmmy do a test application though, on the crack of his ass.

Naw...DUmmies don't have the intellectual horsepower to navigate a Zip-Lock bag for any use other than holding their weed.
Give them a condom with a hole in the end and watch the DUmmy "caulk" the world.

Dumbass could go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get masonry repair.  It is in a tube like caulking.  You cut the tip off and use a caulking gun to shove it right into the cracks.
