How do I mix & apply Flowpoint Smooth Paving Grout?

Follow these simple ten steps to use Flowpoint slurry grout to fill paving joints:

1. Firstly clean the paving slabs and joints so they are free from debris and any excess water
2. Pre-soak the paving joints & surfaces with water to ensure they are damp – a light spray of water should be perfect
3. Pour the Flowpoint powder into a bucket and add 4.25 litres of water
4. Mix with a force action mixer for 3–5 minutes, until the consistency is smooth and free of clumps
5. Before pouring the slurry mix, ensure that the area is still damp, apply the mixture immediately by carefully forcing Flowpoint into the joints using a rubber squeegee. Flowpoint can set within as little as 15 minutes (at temperatures of 20^oC) so you will need to be quick, but careful
6. Move the Flowpoint slurry across the patio surface to top-up joints where the mortar has sunk
7. Use the rubber squeegee to remove as much of the paving grout from the surface of the slabs – still keep the surfaces constantly damp to prevent the grout from hardening
8. Use a brush and plenty of water (or alternatively a sponge machine) to remove any grout that has hardened on the paving surfaces
9. Once the mortar is dry (after about 30 minutes - depending on temperature), clean the surface of paving slabs thoroughly to remove any spots of mortar and prevent staining, you'll be looking for clean water running of the patio
10. The pavers are ready to walk on after one hour and can receive car traffic after four hours
