Any updates regarding whether you had to relay 1/3 of the slabs and the staining?

Just an update.............I a few weeks ago i went to point the flags 1/3 dry mix brushed it all into the gaps on the buff patio area but made the buff flags look grey and i mean grey cement looking.
After doing all the patio area i though a very light mist of water over the flags should suffice ( How wrong i was ) it turned the nice buff flags a dark concrete colour like the cement had got into the flags with them being like a rough pitted flag and it looked absoulutly terrible i was near in tears.
I had to think quick what should i do and i come to the only conclusion i could think of as the cement seamed to be staining the buff flags so i jet washed the whole area which took ages and all the old cement and silicon sand went into the entry.
I am now back to square one never again am i going to use a dry mix but what i will say is because i jetwashed the whole area clean some of the wet wet mix must have made it under the flags and all the flags are now solid again but i am scared now to re try and i may end up doing it the old fasion way wet mix and a pointer -yes it will take some time and effort but i don't want to fook it up again.

Just wondering whether you've inadvertently carried out mickg suggestion on his post 20 Feb. 2010,08:01n0chex wrote:............because i jetwashed the whole area clean some of the wet wet mix must have made it under the flags and all the flags are now solid again...................
Which was to pour cement/water down the joints
