'Bricky' bricklaying aid.   
This looks amazingly convincing but then again it is an advert.

"You've got nothing to lose with the 30 day return if you are not  100% 
happy".

 This falls apart when you read the returns policy. i.e., Must be returned 
in all packaging and unused.


Would appreciate comment from anyone who has used this device:

I did think of that. Having read the other thread it would appear that you 
have to go round pointing up the joints afterwards.

That bricky tool was made for walls with the cement course not to exceed the
bricks,so one could make the bricky tools cement runner to exceed the bricks
by putting two battens underneath the brick tool so that they act as a
support on the layer of bricks beneath and the cement runner then can be as
wide as the bricks.
If you do think of aking one? you're gonna need a cleanable and smooth
surface for the cement runner an ideal surface would be plastic but I would
use a piece of Lainate flooring as the base.

Phenolic ply would probably be good and hard wearing...

Nah! a piece of Laminate flooring will do,I'm talking about the real
laminate not the compressed sh**e you find cheap,the type that looks like
bakelite when you cut it tis very hardwearing.

You might have to join two pieces together to get the right thickness of
cement runner.

Phenolic does work for this and has the advantage that mortar sticks
poorly to it. Laminate flooring is likely to swell, Versapanel is
terrible because mortar bonds straight to it.

Not the resin based laminate material,this doesn't swell but the compressed
crap does which is the cheaper of the two.
