Sbr - Pointing

[GB_Groundworks]

I always thought it was "you pay your money, you take your chance" ??

the issue i have with jointing CBP with mortar is that CBP is not very absorbent,and it can end up a real mess in the wrong hands
have seen the pikeys build walls and steps with CBP round here,and invariably it looks pants
I have laid clays as a path edging with a single mortar joint,but i am not convinced a large area would look right

i`m looking forward to seeing the completed works. at the end of the day its your choice. :;):

what people have to remember is that all of the pros on this site are looking for a top notch job every time as their professional reputation relays on this. as the saying goes: your only as good as your last job.

make sure you post a pic of your roof too :;):

If you opt for the sbr mortar use 1:1 Ronafix sbr : water, added to your cement and sand to give sufficient workability to the mortar.

As stated in the previous posts polymer (sbr) mortar is designed to stick, so avoid getting it where you don't want it.

Like s*** to a blanket springs to mind, a crude way of putting it :;):

easipoint is approx £18 +vat per bag, the gun is approx £38 +vat
I don't know the cost of delivery though as its on my door step so i called in

I would recommend you SBR the side of the paving blocks prior to pointing with a small paint brush to form a key for the pointing

we were only trying to save you from yourself paul
tommy walsh would probably told you to brush dry sand and cement in the joints then sprinkle with water from a watering can
