Cementone Wide Jointing Compound Natural/Buff 20kg

This stuff goes in fairly easily but isn't as straightforward as other brands to apply. This has to be laid when everything is bone dry and needs to be kept dry for a minimum of 24Hrs to allow it to cure, which somewhat limits when you can apply it in the UK. It feels like damp sand but has a sort or resin / glue in it that allows it to stick and harden. Because it is air activated once you open a bag you have 4 -5 ish hours to use it so you cant start today and finish tomorrow or open a bag to finish off a couple of paving stones without wasting the whole bag.I found that when I brushed it into the paving (10 - 12mm gaps 20-30mm deep) I then had to get a pointing trowel or a pencil and tamp down everything to get it to fill the gaps properly. I then had to go over and re-fill the gaps again smooth over the top with a piece of bamboo to smooth the joints off properly. I have used it on sandstone tiles and it hasn't discoloured anything and definitely looks a lot smarted than previously. I haven't tried pressure washing the patio yet.Would I buy it again? Probably not, I'd be more inclined to go for one of the brands that uses the "wetter the better" philosophy

Easy to apply. Brush into place.

An amazing product for weekend DIYers. No mixing needed, just pick a dry day, prepare your patio/ drive, then brush in this compound. The price here is quite high - can get cheaper elsewhere so shop around.
