Fuge immobest - New grout for patios

[JoeB]

Can anyone help here? I had a new patio layed and used Fuge/Immobest Grout but I noticed that the guy who did it did not wet the stones (Indian Sandstone) first and now the grout is very crumbly and I don't think it will last. Is there anything I can do to rectify/rescue this??? The guy is coming back to have a look this evening but I think it is really a case of that he didn't use the Fuge correctly. I think it will have to be completely re-done cause I seem to remember eharing somewhere that once you open the tubs of Fuge it has to be used immediately so I don't think he can scrape it out again and "re-mix" it with water???

Done a google and it seems to be this stuff

The demonstration cleary shows the surface being wetted before application.

Seems there a few outlets for it in Ireland but little or no dealers in the UK.
