Hi Guys,
I need to point / grout in between some cobble stones, I've looked at Romex and easipoint but think it maybe a little messy. Would it be ok to mix silver sand and cement at around 5:1 dry, brush it in and then give it a light sprinkling of water ? What do you guys think ? I want to keep any growth of the dreaded green stuff away.

Jack

Dry brush in pointing is crap. Full stop. It never looks good, it fall out in a matter of a year or so....try pitch or a semi dry mix or something.
