I would like to seal the sandstone now after having laid for a few months , I have read its recommended if sealing first to leave a few days before applying say easy joint ? also is it advisable to power wash the slabs before hand and if this is the case how long to allow to dry before using say easy joint ?
One more question please , I have an area where i have made the steps to lower part of garden in a curved pattern, do I use tape on underside of slabs where they overhand slightly on the step when i apply easy joint to stop the compound falling through ? Oh and any views on easy seal and joint please ?
Thanks very much for any info .

....especially the Sealant Trials page which looks at how 24 different sealers and colour enhancers performed over 14 months

aluminium tape works well for the step overhangs
