OK so Pink's & LLL mix is not perfect but top marks for experimenting.
Don't give up you two
So has one got any ideas on how to make their own Easipoint?

Bob - I quite agree. Try reducing the Febmix and add some SBR. The latter will further reduce the water demand and compensate for some of the loss of strength due to the air.

I can see your point mick but i still rate duncan's drivework overall
I wonder how he expects people to clean their *investment*
regarding pink&lout'sâ„¢ patented gun point, obviously its a work in progress
we went back to a job in shillington after 6 months to move a dishwasher for the lady and the pointing was like rock
I have 3 failed rompox patios to rake out and redo when i get time,will try and finetune the procedure scientifically
well done enigma i forgot about google cache
cheers LLL

boyos the instarmac gun point is £11.40 20kg a bag am sure you could add some rapid hardner to it small doses

the instarmac and easipoint stuff both go off very quickly and i have a good idea why
but I am keeping schtum on that till I am sure
the big issue is that you have to over order unless you have a stockist nearby
so you end up with a bag of a certain colour hanging around for ages

Still can't comment on the easipoint but the plastering sand seems to work fine
Think paving, think pink!
