Product Information

Clean. Brush or wipe away any dust that results from the sanding and dry the area you’re working with. In wet weather conditions, the curing process will be suspended. Prolonged periods of rain, or several intermittent showers will considerably extend the setting times. Again, this will not affect the final integrity of the product in any way provided water can drain easily away and so allow even curing throughout the joints (as previously explained). Whilst following the instructions carefully, if you do happen to make an error with EASYJoint, don’t worry, the only stain or picture framing that the jointing compound may potentially leave is linseed oil which will disappear and fade over time. By using lots of water when brushing the product in, it will ensure that any linseed oil will sit on top and simply get washed away! Detailed instructions on how to joint paving with our sweep in sand can be found inside the EASYJoint tub. It is also worth pointing out that because dirty surface water can drain through the joint, over time it will result in a visual change to the EASYJoint colour. This is entirely natural; it is not a fault and it will not impair the integrity of the product. This issue is pretty regular. We had to deal with it while using the Sheffield Bronze products, and our solution was to mix the almond and white formulas to get one that matched our sink. Q5. How to Prepare to Use Porcelain Kit?

Sealing is particularly recommended for porous paving slabs and setts prior to laying and jointing with EASYJoint, to reduce the risk of staining or efflorescence. If sealer is applied after the patio has been laid, do not apply any type of sealer over the joint for at least a month after it has set hard. Only use a breathable sealer, otherwise EASY Joint may or may not remain permeable, and you may seal in any natural efflorescence passing through the stone. These natural salts will disperse over time. Can you apply EASYJoint in freezing conditions? darker, sometimes lighter, and sometimes the hue is modified. The paints we use are acrylics, oil, enamel, or mineral pigments depending on the projects. A good starting point for first time DIY job is to use water-based acrylics.Although they might sound too good to be real, they do work. Keep in mind that you must let the formula rest and take its time to fix the issues completely. Some products work better than others, so you must be patient. Q3. What Is Porcelain Repair Kit? Wet the Paving. Thoroughly soak the patio or paved area to be jointed with lots of water using a hose. The paving must be absolutely saturated before starting and remain soaked throughout the application process ‘the wetter, the better.’ We strongly recommend not shortcutting this process, particularly when working with absorbent or sensitive materials such as Sandstone, Granite and Limestone. Highly absorbent and porous stone will require sealing, 2-3 days prior to laying, on its top surface and four edges. while curing; workable—can be drilled and sanded; paintable; water/oil proof; will tolerate a wide temperature range without shrinking or expanding. We let the filler epoxy cure at 110°F so it cures very hard, which is needed before sanding. Continuously Wash the Paving With Lots of Water. The person with the hose should alternate between following the sweeper to aid washing the compound into the joints and moving ahead of them so that the paving is always wet. This is particularly important in warm/hot weather conditions.

You can now use sandpaper to do the final touches and leave the best finish. If you consider the color doesn’t match with the rest, consider painting over it. Frequently Asked Questions Q1.

Choosing Adhesive For homeowners, watching chips or scratches in your porcelain surfaces is very frustrating. First, because it ruins the overall decoration of the house; and secondly, because of the amount you’ll have to spend on services to fix it. Less water is needed when applying EASYJoint to porcelain paving, as there is little risk of residue staining. You will find that a small amount of water, added to form it into a slurry, will make it easier to fill the joints properly. When applying to porcelain, to ensure an effective joint, the operator MUST strike the joint off, to compact the grout fully. Compaction forces out air and water which helps the joint harden faster.
