Am well along in constructing a patio 12 years after we moved in!
Laying is planned for this weekend.
We have not yet decided on jointing method although personally i favour spending the extra and using a modern resin system and hopefully not have to worry about it many years.
My question is really how would i go about using such a system where you open joints at a step nosing e.g. an open end and nothing below to retain the mortar whilst its curing? The overhang will be about 10 to 15mm I guess.
I could fashion a temporary timber soffit but is there a better way or should I just use a wet mortar?
Slabs are 900x600 limestone 25mm thick.
many thanks
