#patio #brushinjointing #patiopointing - Jak na to + styl
That back yard looks so so awesome. You transformed it into a very amazing place to unwind and relax
Your place is looking so good! Love the look of the paths and the workshop
Really useful advice and great video thanks. Looking to point a couple of areas this week using the resin material and great to see the 5 years later result 👍
This is just what I needed as tackling my patio this week. Some great tips. Thank you.
Excellent work. Like the color of the resin/mortar.
Looks great! Cracking garden too 👌
Seems like a great product.
I used this pointing system on a paved drive a few years ago. However, it is quite an expensive method and in my opinion does not have the longevity of sand and cement. I found on my drive that the resin joints started popping after a couple of years. So it was back to raking out and the traditional method of pointing with sand and cement. Your path by the way looks very good.
Love it! Are the girls happy with how lush the lawn is looking?
This brush in pointing resin is expensive, but it saves so much time!
I’ve used the Sika and it does look good. After a month it appears to be solid. Major problem I found is one pack in the two pack tubs was rock solid despite it still being sealed. Wickes were happy to refund 50 % which is fair and they said it’s a common problem. I suspect it’s an age thing so do check the date if there is one on the tub.
Not good though
Resin jointing compounds are very good. Another top product is GftK vdw 815. We used this on our granite paving 4 years ago and it still looks like the day it was laid even after a yearly jet wash 🧽.
Gftk is good but cost a lot
I understand your concerns about ghosting, but as far as I know I slight douching with a weak acid solution will solve that. Do not forget that in olden times they had to make do with basic stuff -- and that still works. And no-one knows what all the modern add-ons will do in a century or two, so there we are...
Beautiful path….and that blue sky looked like you could of been in the Mediterranean….😂 from wet grey Suffolk In June 🥴🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕jane
It’s not always sunny in Somerset! 🤣
I’ve used sand and cement recently (and very carefully) with what looked like a giant icing funnel where the gaps were somewhat larger between slabs installed by the previous owner of our abode.
But must say, having tried the Flowpoint on block paving on a driveway with some good results importantly, when installed onto damp brickwork I can definitely recommend it. The key is to dampen the gaps in whatever your choice of pathway maybe as not doing so seems to result in the Flowpoint simply becoming grains of grit if not used quickly….. nice Job Tim 😎👍
So nice to see your son getting stuck in , my sons not really liie that but my daughter always wants to pitch in
Thanks for sharing the update of the patio. Keep up the great work! Was the grout resin you used 5 years ago also Sika?
In case anyone is worrying with these products, the thin and shiny layer of resin that stays on the surface of the stone does wear off with time or can be helped along with a stone appropriate cleaner and a bit of scrubbing
Fantastic stuff Tim
That’s good stuff the way to go never seen that product before ,oh do you still have your camper van you did out
Great vid as usual. Out of interest what mix have u used with sand a cement in the past successfully for pointing? Cheers
The good thing about Flowpoint is that it sets very quickly, around 15 mins, the bad thing about Flowpoint is that it sets very quickly, around 15 mins. You have to be quick with the cleanup before it goes hard.
I have tried the resin method as well and wasn’t happy with that either. I have now gone back to using sand and cement.
I am repointing a 6 year old patio and paths so the gaps between the slabs may not suit the resin method.
I await your call Tim, to come and show me how it should be done. 😂😂😂
Hi Tim, Inspired by your videos, I’m planning to install vintage manor setts in my garden. What size setts should I order from Stonemarket?
Did you do the older patio using easy joint? I’m going to do a patio myself soon and wanted your opinion on which one was better. Thanks
An off cut of feather edge or shiplap works great for compacting it in the joints and is much quicker then just smooth the top with your trowel.
What sand and cement mix did you lay on? I was going to use a brush in resin product. However, the ones I looked at said I needed to have laid on a weakish (6:1) base. Anything stronger and the resin system will fail prematurely.
Have used this stuff, it is definitely quick and easy but it doesn't hold up well to a jet wash, even when you're being careful.
Hi. Great looking path. Can you please confirm, when you are laying the setts are you bedding them on sharp sand and cement or normal soft sand and cement? Thanks for your help.
The patch look great. Would lime mortar be an alternative?
Yes
Do you not add any water to the mixture?
Hi, could you just confirm what sq meterage you covered and how much you used for this please? Ive got 30sqm to do with much smaller spacing so trying to figure out amounts. Thanks :D
Would you recommend sika fastfix, easyjoint or flowpoint? Or something else?
Sika and geofix are the ones to avoid worst ones available, flow point is best if you know what you’re doing with it
I love the pathway! What type of stone is that?
Sandstone.
can we have a lawn update?
Hi what product did you use ? Can anyone let me know please.
Thanks
I’ve used this Sika product too between porcelain flags but it has ended up looking shabby. I’m not sure what’s happened but it has turned white in some patchy areas almost. Any idea?
After 3 years how is this holding up?
Some of my paving has stains from the product, what do I do
You should get your helper some proper work pants with knee pads as he is helping you more and more now!
All on order! 😉
Hi Tim, can this type of jointing compound be used on flags that are dry laid on a sand bed. I’ve removed some old pointing and ready to repoint but unsure which way to go. Thanks Adam
Dude, what type of bricks are they? Ta
Loosen up - sometimes a perfect finish isn't necessary...Its not a runway, its a garden path ;-)
What do you use the SBR link for? there is nothing on the video that indicates is used. Can you explain why and how you use it on the tiles?
I have the same question!
Have you got any lingering smell from the grout as I have just used this in the last week and I think I can still smell it? Could be nasal memory.
One thing I would say is the bigger the gap (within reason) the better, I did it with the minimum of 5mm and it was a lot more difficult to pack in. I also used it on dry concrete slabs halfway through and found it a little easier but that is against the manufacturers recommendation, the slabs had been dampened prior and I think the warning is more for natural materials.
Only for a day or two but soon goes. Yes, its not great at tiny joints as unlike kiln dried sand it doesn't fall in well. Best things would be to grind down a tuck trowel to the thickness of the joint and run it in.
By the way, the path looks fantastic.
One posh brickie the old method is the only method
Do the pointing in the rain.
Recommend not even bothering to wet the slabs at first. It just makes the job more messy. Apply dry , sweep neatly into the gaps, and then wet afterwards.
I just watched another video using the same product. It stained the slabs if they were not sufficiently wet.
When is the slurry video dropping?
The wetter the better 😉
😳
Don't be rude 🤣
Easier to concrete stencil it, n throw colour then wash off.. done in Australia 20 years ago but gives u this look. Exposed agg is the new go to but stencil was a big thing back then
Easier to leave it as dirt. Easier to leave it as grass. Easier to dump gravel on it. Easier to spray paint it brown. Not everybody wants to sacrifice quality to do it the easy way. That’s how we end up with entire neighborhoods of vinyl-sided, plastic shuttered McMansions.
@@manillafresh57 easier to such ur mouth 😂😜😘😁🤓
The brush in resin type jointing is only for permeable paving, do not use it on non permeable, also, the Sika one is rubbish
lol cowboy
Why?
Sika is some of the worst 1 part pointing there is will last a year
I see a scaffold... what are you hiding from us??
Never see the Point of this !!
Stops the weeds from growing!
Don’t buy this expensive corner cutting load of shite. After a year it starts coming out the joints. I’m in the process now of doing mine again the proper way because I fell into the trap.
Totally waste of time and money
