Cheers Haggi.

Yeah I like those grannit sets. Think the customer wanted to keep costs down so they wanted shingle. Gonna turf the area alongside next week.

Thinking of doing a course on resin bonding and doing my mums driveway with resing bonded aggregate of some sort and bordering it with sets! Got alot on though, might be a while b4 I get the chance!

I wouldnt worry about the hollow sounding flag, unless its moving then leave it be.

To get sandstone to proper stick to the bedding a bond bridge needs to be used IMO.

Ok cheers for that info. I'll look up what a bond bridge is lol.

Nice work, looks very clean. the hollow sounding slab could just be loose cleft on the stone.

tidy looking work FB
I'd be pleased with that
the flag that sounds hollow may have laminated
unless it is moving leave well alone
ps i always lay sandstone on a wet mix

Cheers guys

LLL I found that when the mix was too wet it sometimes splashed when I tapped it down and I had to scrape it out of the joints cos it rised up! What about adding 1 shovel of builders sand in with mix next time? Would this help with the bonding without reducing compression strenght too much or needing to make it too wet?

yeah I was astonished to see how much the colour came out in those flags when I scrubbed with soapy water and a wire brush in a circular motion. Took 2 of us about 4 hours though. Gotta be an easier way!
