How to Apply Joint It Fine Block Paving Jointing Sand

This video guides you through the simple process of applying Joint-It Fine Premium Block Paving Jointing Sand, a top choice for keeping your block paving secure and looking its best. Joint-It Fine is perfect for newly laid driveways, especially when there's been no previous weed growth. However, if you're dealing with an older driveway, a bit of prep work to ensure the joints are clean and weed-free is all that's needed before applying this product.

For existing driveways, a high-power pressure washer is the key to thoroughly cleaning out all of the joints. It's essential to remove any weeds and debris to ensure a smooth application. After you've cleaned and prepped the surface, spray the joints to make sure no weed plants are left behind. Remember, while Joint-It Fine is excellent for preventing future weed growth, it won't stop weeds that have already taken root in the joints before application.

To get started, you'll need a few tools:
- Brush
- Vibrating Plate
- Hose pipe with good water pressure or a small electric washer

Steps to Apply Joint-It Fine:
1. Make sure the area is thoroughly cleaned, weed-free, and dry.
2. Pour out the sand and sweep it at a 45° angle into the joints.
3. Sweep off any excess sand from the surface.
4. Compact the sand into the joints using a vibrating plate.
5. Top up the area with more sand to ensure all joints are filled.
6. Use the hose to wet the area with a fine, light spray.
7. Allow 5-10 minutes for the sand to settle. In temperatures above 20°C/68°F, wait for just 3-5 minutes.
8. Finally, wash off and remove any excess product from the surface of the bricks. Depending on your water pressure, you might need a small electric power washer.

One last tip: make sure to wash away any excess product from surrounding areas to keep everything looking neat.

Joint-It Fine is a fantastic choice because it's not only weed-resistant and self-repairing but also eco-friendly. This product helps you maintain a beautiful driveway with minimal fuss while being kind to the environment.
