I've recently been reading about this stuff and it sounds very interesting, has anyone actually used it? I have bad memories of using geofix a few years back and it did'nt last well at all.

The modern resin jointing products are everything Geo-bloody-Fix should have been. They actually bond to the paving; they have a reasonable shelf life (12 months or so); they set HARD; and they don't turn green with algae overnight.
There are countless tales of satisfied users in The Brew Cabin, but the ultimate test is to try it for yourself. I did a bit of research in 2007 and found that, of those contractors that tried one of the new generation of resin/polymeric mortars, 82% never went back to sand/cement mortars for jointing. That tells you all you need to know!

I assume this stuff will not work with block paving/clay cobbles or anything laid on a screeded sand base?

its designed for joint widths of 10mm + so that rules out blockpaving,its good stuff and fairly easy to use, however it does get dirty after a while and can be jet washed

Im one of the 18% that did go back to sand and cement, if for no other reason it looks so much nicer, these new sands just dont look so good, i know it takes longer but hey, pride in your work has to come first, i just hate all the stuff

i used the romex with their own grey sand with golden brown indian sandstone and looked fab, and really easy to use. only way with cement would be to use snowcrete and then staining problems. only problem was whole tin for a repair but tony mentioned a small repair kit coming out.
