I have used it, while it is easy to use the colour will stick out like a sore thumb and it will forever as it does not patina/age. The rrepair will always be obvious.
If you use regular mortar (example N or O like MM said, which one depends on brick hardness) as long as you are working in the greys it will age and disappear over time. You also have the option of colouring it if you want to go that far.
It is a trade-off with the tube stuff.
This is for 2 chimneys I can’t see unless I’m on the roof.

If you're going to put the time in, do it right. The tube stuff is a ***** to remove if you want to really fix it later.
Regular brick mortar isn't that hard to work with, you can even squeeze it in with your fingers (wear rubberized gloves).
Has anyone done parging on the foundation? My diy list for next year isn’t too big so I was thinking of doing this to dress up the foundation that’s showing.
My house came with it done. Mostly holding up. A section between the garage doors is cracked and loose but staying in place if nobody bangs it. They did a stucco look instead of plain cement parging.
Looks like you got lucky. I took out over 400 kitchens when I was the Salvage Co-ordinator for Habitat Restore in London. Most tiled c/t was thick plywood screwed down prior to tiles. Always a pecker to remove - had to bust thru the tile to get to grout filled screws.
Is this in reference to repointing a chimney, parging a foundation or removing a counter? For any of those jobs, explosives wouldnt even make my top ten list of ways to try.
It’s this lack of vision that is responsible for our current political situation.
Do you want a new chimney? Cause explosives can make this happen.
Put enough in and you’ll have space for a new foundation!
Under rated for tree stump removal. Takes out the stump, loosens the soil and adds nitrogen.
You obviously lack imagination.
Mine was tile / 1/2 layer of cement underlay board / 2 layers of 3/4 ply , all screwed down from above through each other . It was not pretty coming out .
