Sure -- this is exactly the kind of gap where the pastry bag method can be the solution. Make sure that you have a loose mixture - you may have to experiment. When using a pastry bag I tend to make the mortar mix with a consistency of a thick house paint. You will have to experiment with different sizes of tips but its easy to work. By the way -- very cool website you have. I'll have to check out your book <a href="http://www.rjshowbiz.com/coondog.htm" rel="nofollow">Coon Dog Chronicles</a>. Let me know how this works for you.
