Oh wow, a couple of things surprised me in this vid... how wet you had the mix with water sitting on top, and then when you just laid it on thick! I take it this doesn't stain like sand and cement buddy? Also why can't you use sand and cement in winter? Also, love that top you got on here! Where's it from? haha

You can use this product with or without water and also use it in the rain, I just found adding a bit of water helped it fall into the joints better. It doesn't stain at all, you just have to make sure you brush off all the product from the slabs. You can use sand and cement in the winter as pointing but any rain due will ruin it (even if its rain say 8 hours later) so you'd have to cover the entire patio well. Also you could be waiting all day for it to go off enough to tool if it's a cold day! My top is from Englebert Strauss, I love their stuff. A bit pricey but their kit always lasts!

@@MarcusT86 yea I’ll usually get the trousers to last me over a year wearing them a few times a week which in this day and age is pretty good! I always believe if you’re wearing something a lot then it should be decent quality

Hi Sam, glad I've seen this as this is my next stage !! However my slabs as you've seen are sand yellow so o don't really want to get any mess over the slabs ... Would just putting it on damp work well?

This stuff I used in this video is pretty good. Pointfix is the brand and it comes in a few colours. Just make sure your joints aren’t any deeper than say 20mm otherwise you’ll fly through the stuff and it will cost a lot

Yea as long as you’ve pressed it down a bit with a bar or trowel, not had a problem yet. Going to try the ‘Sika’ brush in compound next so I’ll do a video on that one too

Keep your buckets clean! you could have mixed that stuff properly in half the time without that irritating scraping sound! saves time in the long run..keep your gear clean I used to love cleaning all my trowels with emery paper and Linseed oil ( raw) for the handles...self respect!

My tools are kept clean. The bucket is as clean as it could be without buying a new one every time. And how would that bucket being cleaner ensure I would mix it faster?! I don’t mind constructive criticism but I’m not silly enough to be mixing an expensive product in a dirty bucket.

When done correctly and when you make sure the joints are not too deep it is cost effective and is a very good product. But, people think you can just brush it in and thats it with no tooling up - thats where it can get a bad name.

Agreed, I have this between sandstone slabs, it was fine for half a year then it started to fall apart, moss seeding in it , grass and weeds coming through. I get it saves time and money as it lets water through so easier for a quick job but its worth paying more for a proper job with proper fall and drainage on the patio and solid pointing.

@@paulmartin4285the product is an epoxy. Surely does not let water pass through any more than cement, or therefore replace the need for a fall and drainage?
