Product Information

Sika FastFix can be used for a range of applications including foot paths, stone setts, cobbles and Indian sandstone

Using a hose we soaked the area that we would be applying the product and started to pour the bag of Sika joint compound. Unsure on how strong the compound is we decided to use our fingers (wearing gloves of course) to really push the product into the gaps before finishing it off with a pointing trowel for a good finish. Of course, we didn’t have to use our fingers, but it gave us more peace of mind knowing that it was well compacted and still saved us a huge amount of time compared to using sand and cement. Anyways after that I tried to brush it in but the gaps were so small (5-7 mm wide) So i had to use marigold glove and Pokey Pokey method :¬)We’ve had some charcoal coloured concrete paving slabs laid. A week later the guys returned to use the Sika grouting compound. They soaked the slabs first and the compound went down well. Highly water permeable – no pooling on the patio Weed control – provides a natural barrier for weed growth It seems to have gone well and I’m hoping it will set in the next coupe of days. The only concern I seem to have is that I wonder if it has changed the colour of our stones or is this just an illusion. I applied it the same way as you have described and I don’t believe there is any of the compound remaining on the surface. However, the stones that have the compound in the joins look a little more ‘sandy’. I think that this is just because they now have a buff coloured join as opposed to grey cement which was there previously. If you leave it a couple more days and give it another sweep, if there is any residue left on the patio then it will be easy to sweep straight off once dry. It could be worth reading my article titled ‘how to point and re-point a patio) as this explains my way of removing the old mortar (sand/cement). Please see the link below.

so far seems solid but the finger method has left stains i am hoping i can find a way to remove or wait(if that works) Hi Kim, I once layed an Indian sandstone drive and we used a wet mortar mix (sand and cement) as we were unsure on the durability of the paving compound. Do you have any recommendations for the holes they have created already? Should I just top it up and try to stop them coming out? 🙂 Welcome to Hankintech!

Once we had finished pointing the new patio we decided to give it a very light sprinkle to make sure that it would set. Again we had never used this product before so wanted to be sure that it would do the job. The benefits of using the Sika paving jointing compoundSelf-setting paving jointing compound that provides the ideal solution to perfect pointing on paving, paths and patios. All-weather formula, can even be applied in the rain. Provides a natural barrier to weed growth. Hi Robert, I wouldn’t worry! We’ve had the paving jointing compound take a good week before setting before, I think it often depends on the weather! Hi Helen, although you are suppose to wet the area before applying the paving jointing compound, it does eventually harden either way. Unfortunately, whether you use a mortar mix or the jointing compound for your pointing, jetwashing your patio always runs the risk of blasting some out. How ever, don’t just sweep it in between the gaps. At the very least use a pointing trowel to make sure that it is well compacted. It is also worth noting that all of the pictures in this post are patios that we have installed using this product! Where to get your Sika Fast Fix All Weather paving jointing compound Hi Just jet washed a 30 year old patio and have 50/50 big gaps/sound old grout. What’s best for topping up – I find all the widths/depths a bit confusing E.g. 20mm deep – is this a maximum, will it work if just topping up?

They are saying with Sika Fast Fix, this will fill the gaps between the slabs, this will stop the slabs from moving. Hi Hussain, you need to use a mortar mix when laying natural paving. Otherwise, they’ll never set. Please see below my guide on how to lay a patio.Since the jointing compound has no risk of staining the area, there would be no need to be careful which is where most of the time goes. We could spend a hole day pointing and even more on larger paving projects. So away we went applying the jointing compound…
