Talk about an over engineered solution. The usual method is called a grout bag. They're less than 10 bucks, and function like a bakers icing bag. This method ruins a perfectly good drill that needs battery packs...
This isn't a brand endorsment. My first power drill was a dewalt I literally dug out of the mud when it was lost by a contractor. I literally pulled the battery off of it, hosed it down, let it dry, then put the battery back on and it works perfectly to this day. It has an extended battery and I bought an aftermarket charger on scamazon. There's a reason they charge so fucking much for it.
There's a fantastic guy on Youtube who spends months/years rebuilding very old abandoned farm style buildings in Europe. He uses this technique for his stone work (he does a LOT of stone work) and the projects take long enough that you can see the ugly grouting become very nice looking. First time I saw it, I said "Oh that looks like shit." but then saw the results and changed my mind.
Legitimate question. Do you have a picture of what the finished product will be or know what the process is called? I wouldn't know what words to Google.

Hey dude, can I borrow your drill tomorrow? Just need it for a small project.

Still gotta strike the mortar joints, but it beats the bag.

This kills the drill.

I'm sorry but that looks like crap to me. Just place real rocks the right way, not this faux crap with goop hanging over the blocks facades.

Looks like an average wall, at best. It's not even that high.

Could you use it for mashed potatoes?

Probably wash it first

That poor drill
DiracsDelta
Seriously. Sacrifice a cheap ass black and decker. Maybe the dewalt is from a pawn shop?
IAmASentientWaffle
Eh, same company so probably using the same components anyway.

Check out Project Farm on YouTube. Great reviewer of these sorts of things. DeWalt is better than most.

But this is less than $10 and doesn't run out of batteries halfway through a wall...

Looks like a hand cramp waiting to happen

Grouting is possibly the least strenuous activity a mason does. Maybe raking the joints later is a bit easier.

DeWalts are built for abuse.

And most of the power tools I own are DeWalt, I was just memeing. Their hedge trimmer is the shit

Those spots at the bottom left where it's just oozing out is really catching my eye.

This just the start of the process. It looks fine when finished and even better after a bit of time and weathering.

It's not done. You gotta wait a bit for to cure to the right level, then you smooth it. Then a bit later, clean and texture it.
Canoecrossing
That's 100 percent correct. I tried one of these and they don't work as good as the grout bags, and trash the drill.
Shoutrr
yup, but this is such a pain in the ass job to do that you'd try anything to go faster
