Polymeric sands are designed to soften and re-harden.
Therefore, polymeric sands are not appropriate for
applications where standing water or streams of water are
expected. When a permanently hard surface is desired, a
cementitious sand mix is the recommended alternative. A
sand mix should be mixed with water and an acrylic fortier
and used as bedding for the pavers. The pavers should be
pressed into the bed allowing the sand mix to ll the paver
joint, without coating the paver top.
Precautions
Pro-Tip: Roll unopened bag on a dry surface before opening.
1. Use a broom to sweep Paver Locking Sand into paver joints. Fill joints to the paver chamfer (shoulder).
2. Compact sand into joint spaces as thoroughly as possible. The use of a small plate vibrator for compaction is recommended.
3. Carefully remove any remaining sand from paver surface prior to dampening. The best appearance is achieved by
eliminating all polymeric jointing sand from surfaces.
Pro-Tip: Use a leaf blower to remove all sand from the top of the paver and dust that might have settled before watering.
4. Use a garden hose with a fine misting nozzle to dampen the filled joints.
Pro-Tip: Do not over water the joints, and avoid letting water pool on the joints. Light misting the soaks into the joint will
achieve the best result.
5. Repeat dampening every 15-20 minutes; three times will achieve best results.
6. Allow to dry undisturbed for minimum of 24 hours before allowing foot traffic and 48 hours for vehicle traffic. Humid
and wet conditions or low temperatures will delay hardening. Temperatures must remain above 50 degrees F (10 C) for
12 hours after application. Protect from rain for 12 hours.
