if you are 100% certain that the slabs arent rocking i would use easipoint
www.easipoint.co.uk
a good range of colours

havent used easipoint since 2007 .do you still have to let it stand 4 ten mins lll

[mickg]

on the bag it says leave to stand for 5 minutes and then remix it

LLL, have seen people on here slagging geo fix or geo shit off but can honestly say never experienced any problems with it or cementones version am i the only 1?? what is everyones preferred way of jointing then?

[lutonlagerlout]

you are on your own mate
I spoke to a buyer in a stone centre the other day and he gave me the spiel about how they have beefed it up etc etc

once bitten twice shy here
i used it on my first ever injun sandstone patio at my old house circa 2001-2002
and it didnt last 3 months
personally i either use standard sand cement mortar
easipoint or romex terrasse
it all depends on the job
go back and have a look at something that you did 6-9 months ago with geofix,then come back with the results

anyways as said already welcome to the brew cabin,pull your chair closer to the screen ,crack open a beer,and enjoy :;):

cheers mate, how much do you pay for easipoint and the like? had a look at gftk but as soon as you start adding it on to the price you just know your going to be undercut round here competition and pricing is fierce at the min.

When working for a national slab laying company i lost hat full's of money with the geo goo,damaged bags air had got in set hard,lumps in it,lasting for a week and crumbling out,manufactures just washed over the problems, never any good
i paid £11for 20kg instamac gun point last week ,using GTfK speeds the job up and is not affected buy rain or moisture MSH

Hi,
I've decided to go down the Easipont or Romec route to sort this jointing prob thanks to everybodies advice. I also read that using one of the application guns is not a job for the DIYER, is this the case?
If its not too much of a prob for me to use a gun, is it something I can hire from a hire shop as I don't really want to spend £40 buying one.
Anyway, again thanks for advice - dave

look on ebay brand new pointing guns are around £15-18 ,chances off hiring on are slim i would think
this is the gun i use from ebay MSH

using a gun is not hard , once you understand how to do it, KEEP THE TUBES CLEAN WAS OUT AFTER EVERY 2ND FILL, MSH
