Don't mix kiln dried sand and cement.

Whatever colour you can manage to mix up yourself will fade after a year if you're lucky, if you want a nice buff colour pick up some easipoint buff from londonstone.com

Both products have pro's and cons. What type of paving have you used?

Easypoint takes a bit longer to do but in my opinion gives a superior finish. If its a sawn material you definately need to use easypoint as the granular finish of Easyjoint does not look good against the clean lines of sawn paving.

Easyjoint is very quick to install and can be done in most weather conditions but the finish is a bit rougher. You can trowel it in to make the finish smoother but if you do this it kind of goes against the USP of the product.
