Simple to apply — even in the rain

Next, mix the epoxy pre-coated sand with the hardener to a uniform colour, as shown in the videos. Then spread it as a slurry with a squeegee and fine hose spray, so it self-compacts into the joints. It needs no further tooling. Finally, let the excess water drain for a few minutes. Once the joints are full, rinse and clean off with a fine fan of water and a soft coconut brush.
