I've (almost!) finished laying my patio of Teakstone - it's a sandstone with a wood-like grain, and now am considering my pointing options.

I'm very tempted by these brush-in resin/sand options, and can see a variety of options available:
1) Rompox Easy
2) NCC VDW 840
3) Instarmac PaveJoint

I've found online suppliers/prices for the first two, but not for PaveJoint.

A couple of questions then:
1) Any reason to prefer any of these over any other
2) Anyone got any prices for PaveJoint or know where I can buy it?

TIA!

Paul.

i prefer the gunned in mortar to the polymerics
instarmac and easipoint both make decent injectable mortar

LLL - have you tried the polymerics? If so, why do you prefer the gunned in mortar?
Being a first-time DIYer, the brushed-in dry mix looks the easiest option to get a good result with (and also no need to buy extra tools which I probably won't use again!)

Thanks!

firstly. love your name. just what i need right now!

I'm with tony 100%. The polymerics look good for a while, but they soon fade in colour, and although its easier, the gun point system gives a stronger bond, and looks nicer. plus you get a wider choice of colours, so you can pick one that suits the paving you have.
The gun in about Â£30, so not a massive amount, and if you use easipoint, they can send the gun with the order
