Peer Review

Overall you have gathered an abundance of information on repointing. I would love to see it written in prose to get a further idea of how these ideas relate to each other.

1. History: I would love to see more on the history of repointing, how has it changed over time? Have mortars changed composition?

2. Images: Are there any open source images of repointing methods? This could clarify the Process section.

3. Type of Repointing: Are there different repointing processes for specific mortars?


Repointing is one of the essential forms of building preservation and I think it is great that you will be able to add all this information to the page
