depends on joint width tbh and sizes of slabs.
0.2 should be MORE than enough .

Pavefix? :laugh:

4 bags of plastering sand and 1 bag of cement should be enough,with 10mm by 38mm joints

not sure what you mean by 0.2 sand?

joints that small cannot be pointed by hand, and are too small for romex.
Kiln dried sand is the only option, and 2 bags will cover it
