Hi Everybody and thanks for a great site!.

Been in the landscaping trade for a few years now and in the last couple of weeks i saw a demonstration of this new jointing compound called Easy Joint from Azpects.

The salesman wet the flags to be jointed and then brushed the compound in the joints.

Apparantly it can be used in wet or dry conditions its water permeable,enviromentally friendly, pressure washer resistant etc.

To be honest it sounded a bit too good to be true just wondered if you guys have had any experience of it?

This is a totally unique product with numerous advantages over the alternatives on the market such as Everbuild's Geofix, Bostik's Cementone Wide Jointing Compound, Geocel's Stayputt and Romex's Rompox range.

I'd be interested to know if this stuff is any good.
I know there's a lot of rubbish around but If Romex and GftK can produce good stuff then why can't another manufacturer?

The thing that interested me about it was there is no mixing involved if you dont use all the product from the sealed bag just keep it under water say in a bucket etc and use it on the next job as it does not start to harden until it dries out so in theory no wastage.
