After reading reviews etc on this site I took the plunge to order 5 tins of Easy to point my patio from a supplier who will remain nameless at the moment. It's now arrived but two things are concerning me:
1 - There are two different sizes of tub, three are about an inch taller than the other two? Has the mix changed recently meaning a different tin is being used?
2 - Is it important to have all the same batch number? Between the 5 tins I have 3 different batch numbers?
Are either / both of these things a problem or can I just get going with my pointing

Yes they've changed the formula. I've been told that as well as the normal brush it in method you can also wash it in.
I've got two tins of Easy that says it's the new formula.
The tins are 33cm high.
There is a sticker on the top that says
Rompox Easy
New Improved Formula
Can be used in any weather wet or dry
Easily washed in with water
Suitable for family cars
Improved shelf life 12months
min joint depth only 20mm
min joint width only 3mm
RPS Romex Protection System. Keep working whatever the weather (cover only needed in heavy rain)
Romex Distributor www.mcmonaglestone.ie
Yet the instructions on the side of the tin say min depth 30mm, min width 8mm and no mention of washing it in.
I guess they haven't got around to getting the tins reprinted?
Can't tell you what the older formula was like as I've never seen or used it.
