Hi,

Please could you help me with specifying a pointing mix for repointing the coping stones around a parapet wall on my roof? I find the mortar tends to get hairline cracks fairly quickly which obviously then allows water to penetrate. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to stop this?
Thanks!
