Wait and get the weatherpoint 365 and pray it doesn't rain in the next few days or go to wickes get more sand and point today with his pointing gun?

Oh yes yet more questions.
Looking like rain showers today, cover it all up with a tarp?
My neighbour sais not to worry...
And as the sbr slurry didn't work out I need to haunch the edge today, as it's very light use would a 4-1 sharp sand mix be ok with sbr added to it?

Cover if you want but wouldn't be to concerned.
Your haunching will be fine but if you have some stone left over a concrete mix would be better but not essential.

Weatherpoint has to be used wet so dont worry about the weather. Give the paving a good soaking dump the 365 out, give it a good soaking too, brush it in.
Cheers

Thanks lemon curd.
It's hammering down here so covered with a tarp.
I've got 1 bag of ballast, do u think a 50/50 ballast sharp sand mix would suffice?
Cheers mate
