Always make sure Flowpoint is set in the joint before washing it off. Keep your eye on the firmness of the joint — just with a little thumb test.

As well as choosing the colour, check the paving build-up, drainage and surface preparation, then carry out a trial. A temporary pre-grout sealer can help with clean-down; follow its instructions rather than automatically pre-soaking sealed paving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix several bags at once?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly mix what your team can place within the product's working time, with clean-down planned for the right stage. Use 4.25 litres of clean water per 25kg bag, and check the current bag instructions before starting. The 15–30 minute initial set isn't the same as working time. Have water, mixing equipment and washing arrangements ready so you can keep the job moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the pallet over several jobs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. You can use the individual bags as you need them and keep the rest sealed, cool, dry and frost-free. Check the manufacturing date, as the 8-month shelf life runs from manufacture, not delivery. Allow for each job's quantity and timing when setting bags aside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with black limestone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease get in touch first. Some darker limestones can oxidise or stain. We can talk through your stone, a trial area and temporary pre-sealing before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp to 40 years when correctly installed. Preparation, the paving build-up and careful application all play a part in getting that result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen does it set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInitial set is 15–30 minutes at 20°C, with foot traffic after 1 hour. Cooler conditions slow the set; warmer conditions speed it up. Check joint firmness before washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it permeable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Use a solid, non-permeable bed with adequate drainage falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I apply it in rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight rain is suitable, but remove standing water from joints before starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pre-seal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry your chosen method on a small area first. With a temporary pre-sealer, follow the sealer preparation method rather than pre-soaking. Without one, pre-soak, remove standing water and keep the surface damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store a full pallet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep unopened bags cool, dry and frost-free, between 5°C and 30°C. Shelf life is 8 months from manufacture, not from delivery, so check dates if you're keeping bags for a later stage of the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalculate using paving dimensions, joint width and joint depth. Compare the resulting number of 25kg bags with the 56 supplied.
