Brick Mortar question (sacked finish over done)
Posted by FleuryNipples on 2/6/15 at 6:26 pm00
These are the same bricks.
Our bricks are supposed to be finished like the first photo.
The second photo is how it actually came out after the mortar dried today.
Will some of that wash off?
What are options/cost of fixing? I'm told there's an acid option.

sack finishes vary depending on the mason. its all done by human hands and even a mason will have variations in his work. it will "weather" some and provide more "brick relief". based on the second pic, it aint THAT bad.
yes, it can be altered w/an acid wash.

ps: i wouldnt call that first pic "sacked". its more a "no tooling on the joints" finish.
side note - i've built over 250 houses in BR and have had a total of one sack-job done

Use very minimal acid on new bricks.

Use a gallon of water and 1/4 gallon acid. Either a scrub brush or sprayer. It will come off

Wait til it dries completely. My wife freaked on ours too. It won't be so bad in a week
Btw first pic is "dirty" second is "sacked". That was the first mistake

Would it help if I hose it or even pressure wash it?

Is it possible to make the current bricks appear like the "no tool on joints" picture?

Quartre, did you get yours sacked?
re: Brick Mortar question (sacked finish over done)Posted by mack the knife on 2/6/15 at 8:59 pm to FleuryNipples
cant tell if joints were tooled in the second pic. post a closeup of the job if you have it
re: Brick Mortar question (sacked finish over done)Posted by SportTiger1 on 2/6/15 at 9:19 pm to FleuryNipples
Had mine done two years ago and its thinned out a bit from rain.
The bottom thinned out a lot, from my wife with a powerwasher

I actually like the way yours turned out, except for the unevenness.

This is how it looked when they first started it. They weren't putting sack finish at first until we told them too.

This is how it looked with sack finish before it dried.
I don't have a close up of dried sacked bricks on iPad at moment.

Give it a week to dry before you make any decisions. It can look vastly different after a bit of sunlight hits it.
re: Brick Mortar question (sacked finish over done)Posted by mack the knife on 2/6/15 at 10:35 pm to FleuryNipples
that aint bad. give it a little bit
re: Brick Mortar question (sacked finish over done)Posted by FleuryNipples on 2/6/15 at 11:07 pm to mack the knife
I hope. But it seemed to have dried so "white". I'll post close up pic tomorrow.
Hopefully the red starts to show through more

What kind of acid?
Is this something I could do myself?
Gonna wait it out see if it washes off a little in time, but
How much would it cost to hire someone to do this if need be?
