Sorry for late reply. This was the old chicago vino??? I think. The mortar was a custom mix. I used two parts regular mason sand to one part white sand with white mortar. My Wife didn't want it to be completely white. Thanks!
Hello. This was struck (tooled) with a dowel rod sharpened down to more of a point. Stick striking brings out the sand for a rougher, older look. I spaced the joints out using a brick spacing rule. They can found at lowes ect.
@@offshore557 Sorry for missing this. I just used some white Mortar from my local brick yard....mixed with some regular sand and also a little silica (quikrete arena) sand.
Love the final product!!! Looks great😀
Well thank you!😉

Where do you buy type s white mortar
Hows it holding up? Would this secure to painted plaster walls? Im hesitant not to use mortar or some kind of thinset.
Same as the day I installed. I wouldn't try it on any painted surface unless you scuff it up first.
@@diybricklaying5568 OK, thank you.
What was the tools used to scrape the joints and what method did you use for spacing the bricks?

It was rock lathe....which is basically the same thing. I did another one for a friend over drywall and it was the exact same process.
