After the bricks have been laid and before the mortar is dry, the joints between the bricks need to be cleaned up with a pointing trowel or by another method (see here). The pointing trowel is used to fill any gaps in the joints, and also to repoint (see here). Be careful not to smear the excess mortar on the face of the brickwork. The pointing trowel may be used in place of the bricklayer’s trowel if you find that too heavy and awkward.
