Hi All
I am cleaning a customers drive next week {flags, lot's of mortar missing} and she has suggested I use the above joint filler when finished. I think her son printed the blurb off their website. Anyone used it before and do you recommend it or should I use something else?
Cheers, tom.

hiya tom be careful mate this stuff will look really nice when you brush it all in etc you will think you have donw a great job but beware do not lay if ground underneath is damp still in any way because it wont set how it should we had a nightmare which i just walked away from 600 quid job because i wasnt goin to replace the stuff and rebrush it all in, but this customers house was built in a valley with a stream running through it so we think the ground was very damp

hi tom    have seen good reports of this sort of stuff in the landscape press    but only from the makers     dont know how it will stand up to wear&tear and the eliments   so dont make any claim that are not on the container   if the customer wants it   "oblige"
regards john

Thanks guys, it's always a bit tricky when the customer tells you the actual product they want and you haven't used it before.

Tom,
Marshalls brought out a product very much like this a couple of years ago, called M-Joint. It was ok,ish but not that great to much depended on width and depth of the joins. Personally I wouldn't let a customer tell me what to use, and also the fact that you say some pointing is missing, will the colour of this stuff match up? or is it going to look like a bodge job? I would clean it, and recommend they get a paving guy in to do the re-point.

yes i would do what rog says. i always tell the custy to find a landscaper to re-point the flags.

Righto, I will give the stay putt a wide berth then. Just in case. Tvm guys.
