Brick Tuckpointing Literature
There is a common thread in all of the following articles about instructions for tuckpointing. Tuckpointing that looks good is not an easy task. Patience, skill and hand-eye coordination are necessary if you want your tuckpointing to match the existing mortar. Some of the articles have older publication dates. Don't let that scare you. Much of the information concerning tuckpointing masonry is timeless. It has been known for quite some time how to do it. The trouble is that craftsmen and others simply forget or fail to pass along the information correctly.
