Hi sue, just looked at the web-site and would be interested to see some colour examples for the various standard colours. Do you have a brochure or photos of these colours?
I'm ready to point 45 square metres of indian sandstone (mostly brown hues but a few greyer ones) and would really like to see which mortar colour would best suit these flags.
Has anyone out there used easipoint products in the past and have any comments?

Sue, samples received as discussed. Colours and finish look great. My only concern would be with using a fully wet product and the risk of mortar staining my Indian Sandstone flags. Do you have any comments on this?
Traditionaly methods (as Tony descibes on his case study page) prescribe using a 'semi-dry' mix which is just wet enough to hydrate the cement and dye but not wet enough to stain flags on a dry day. In this case, I would use only enough water so that the mix clumped together in my hand (rather than a creamy wet mix).

Hi again
Easipoint mortar only requires enough water to hydrate the cement i.e. 4 litres per 25kg sack.
The mortar is pumped into the joint, filling from the bottom upwards, so no voids, and is tooled off when stiff on the surface.
As long as you dont try and tool it off too soon you won't get any staining, that's one of the advantages of the product!
Can send you a full method statement if you wish, but it's a very simple process.
