Interesting stuff. Here in the Intermountain West we call the Convex Jointer a Round Jointer and the Skate Jointer a Rake. I worked in brick and stone masonry for 7 years and never even saw or heard of a Rat's Tail or the Concave Jointer.

In the UK we call the skate jointer a mortar rake and mainly use it to rake out mortar from the joints before repointing.

Good info but I wish the film editor had allowed a close up shot to linger on the joint created by each tool.

Your skate jointer is called a mortar rake in the UK and is mainly used to rake out the mortar from joints before repointing as well as the use you showed.

My father, a second generation mason contractor didn't " joint up a wall". He used the term strike up ???

We'd call it 'pointing' or more likely 'face up' here in the UK.

Actually our most common term would be 'iron' up the wall, as UK brickies used to use half round solid bars of steel/iron.

Would you use the convex one on a concrete cinder block foundation?

Sio yes I would. If u do others there chances for water or dirt to sit on that joint. You want your masonry wall the shed the water and moisture. A raked joint is the worst actually and seems to be he most popular but it makes a ledge for moisture to just sit on.

Ty Smith you could use a sealer. We’ve used them on natural stone showers. There are sealers and enhancers but your just looking for a sealer. It would be expensive. I would buy a small jug and do a test spot in a place that wouldn’t be seen much. Like near the floor behind the couch. Or u might just have to take a shop vac with a Brussel head and scrub the masonry wall to get all the little pieces off. Hopes this helps.

I wouldn't call that sample board very neat, most of the brick arris's have mortar stains, due to being jointed too soon or the bricks were too damp in the first place.
