Soldier course

[Pablo]

Hi guys does anyone have a good method of finishing a brick soldier course. I don't have any solids and can't get them but I can't stand looking at a lovely wall and a frog staring at me. Cheers.

Turn the brick around?
Or do you mean you live next to a Frenchman?

try and dye the mortar to match or use a capping stone at each end?

not sure what you mean here pablo?
if you are using frogged bricks then i normally turn the frogs inwards at the end of a soldier course
If you are using perforated bricks then i normally fill the holes with dyed mortar
I'm not a big fan of coping stones,2 course tiles creasing and brick on edge looks classier

Perforated bricks I still incorrectly call them frogs.

does your local bm not have the solids in blue/red etc for the end bricks

No these bricks are quite unusual and imperial to boot think my best solution is to curve them with a series of mitres.
