NEW! 30oz B-Line Manual Mortar and Grout Gun w/ 12:1 Drive

This gun is well made and provides ample pressure to smoothly control the flow of grout. My application is for horizontal floor grout between handmade variable porosity terra cotta tiles that are rather difficult to clean contrasting grout color from, so the standard flood and squeegee trowel technique leaves a horrendous cleanup job. This works great to fill the joints with just enough extra to compress in neatly leaving minimal surface mess. Even though I have variable 3/8″ to 3/4″ joint width due to tile irregularities, I found the narrow nozzle, cut to about 1/4″ opening, best to deposit grout at the bottom of the joint in a quick first pass then carefully fill it on pass two. Using the quick set polymer grout, I mix one tube at a time and clean between tubes. I found that a standard mouth canning jar funnel just fits and makes loading the tube very easy. I can see that if you tried to use this with a stiff pointing mix for vertical brick or irregular stone for example the mortar would be (should be ?!) too stiff for this applicator, but for horizontal grout or narrow vertical joints it works as promised. Wondering about how long the nozzles would last and availability of replacements, I see they are readily available at low cost from Albion if not on Amazon. But the first set are still going strong. Constructive suggestions: I suspect most people have a better mixer than the one that came with this – I do – I suggest Albion delete the mixer and replace it with the right funnel, and, as the tip is very hard to remove from the barrel after a single use I suggest selling with a barrel for each tip. Highly recommended.
