you are on your own mate 
I spoke to a buyer in a stone centre the other day and he gave me the spiel about how they have beefed it up etc etc
once bitten twice shy here
i used it on my first ever injun sandstone patio at my old house circa 2001-2002
and it didnt last 3 months
personally i either use standard sand cement mortar
easipoint or romex terrasse
it all depends on the job
go back and have a look at something that you did 6-9 months ago with geofix,then come back with the results
anyways as said already welcome to the brew cabin,pull your chair closer to the screen ,crack open a beer,and enjoy :;):

cheers mate, how much do you pay for easipoint and the like? had a look at gftk but as soon as you start adding it on to the price you just know your going to be undercut round here competition and pricing is fierce at the min.

When working for a national slab laying company i lost hat full's of money with the geo goo,damaged bags air had got in set hard,lumps in it,lasting for a week and crumbling out,manufactures just washed over the problems, never any good
i paid £11for 20kg instamac gun point last week ,using GTfK speeds the job up and is not affected buy rain or moisture MSH

Hi,
I've decided to go down the Easipont or Romec route to sort this jointing prob thanks to everybodies advice. I also read that using one of the application guns is not a job for the DIYER, is this the case?
If its not too much of a prob for me to use a gun, is it something I can hire from a hire shop as I don't really want to spend £40 buying one.
Anyway, again thanks for advice - dave
