What area of paving does 5ltr of SBR cover?
Ive read on here that some actually add it to the mix, is this in addition to painting the slabs or not?

5ltr does roughly 50M2 just adding a dash to the mix
about the same as you would feb
works for me

Is this in addition to painting flags, or is their no need?

I have just completed a 90m2 patio and used Lutons advice by adding the SBR to the mix as painting the rear of the paving is time consuming, I used just less than 2 5lt tubs
if you can copy so can I :p

Would that gun mix also be suitable for pointing bricks walls?

I have used them on brickwork but you are better off buying their specialist brickwork mortar
it goes off too quick for my licking,so i shall carry on pointing with a pointing trowel and frenchman

Make sure you wash mixer well occasionally or scrape it out each time you empty a mix or you will have a hell of a time cleaning it when you're done for the day.

I use a plasterer's paddle mixer and a gorilla bucket
mixers dont mix the gear well enough

we can use up to 2 ton of grit sand a day plus cement, SBR and water, are you saying you would mix that amount of stuff in a gorilla bucket ?
note to self....
must look for larger gorilla bucket when the merchants open on Tuesday morning ???
