Application Procedure
A Trial area should be carried out in order to ensure that the
material, colour and finish meet requirements.

Preparation of Substrate
Ensure that the paving to be jointed free from loose dirt, debris,
oil, grease, etc, It is essential that joint widths are a minimum of
5mm wide with a minimum depth of 15mm. Deeper joints can be
part filled and compacted with dry sand or other dry materials, to
the required minimum depth.
**In areas, which are subject to occasional light vehicular traffic it
is essential that the paving elements are secured on a Class 1
mortar and that, a high percentage of the mortar is squeezed up
the joint thereby providing support for the paving elements.
GEO-FIX® All Weather has superior flexural strength compared to
mortar, however, joint failure can still occur in this type of
situation.
GEO-FIX® All Weather should be considered for its aesthetic and
not its structural properties therefore all paving must be firmly
fixed using an appropriate bedding technique to prevent
settlement and movement which will have an adverse effect on
the jointing material. Where a “wet” fixing technique has been
used to bed the paving the mortar must be allowed to dry before
application of GEO-FIX® All Weather.

Application
1. Wet the paving surface. The paving must be kept wet during
application but free from standing pools of water. Failure to wet
the paving surface will result in temporary staining. Ensure that
the areas where you are not working remain wet at all times. This
is particularity important in warm or hot weather.
2. Carefully open the vacuum-packed bag and sprinkle GEO-FIX®
All Weather sufficient to cover an area of 2-3 m2
.
3. Using a soft brush, push the GEO-FIX® All Weather into the
joints ensuring that they are filled with the compound. The
material MUST be compacted into the joints.
4. Compact GEO-FIX® All Weather into the joints with a pointing
tool or by use of a vibrating plate.
5. Top up and compact ensuring a fully compacted and topped up
joint before carefully sweeping off any excess with a soft brush
ensuring that the material is swept at a 45° angle to the joints.
6. Finish the surface decoratively giving a smooth flat finish with a
pointing tool before moving onto the next area to be jointed.
7. Any residue left on the surface when cured can be simply cleaned
off by sweeping with a stiff brush.
Material or residue that has been left exposed for more than 30
minutes should NOT be used, as it will be adversely affected.
On areas subject to occasional light vehicular traffic**See details on
application procedure for use in such areas.

may occur between batches. Where use of multiple buckets are
required always use the same batch of material to ensure
consistency of colour.
The jointing should not be cleaned by use of high pressure washers
until cured for a minimum of 14 days. The distance between nozzles
to jointing must be at least 15cm using a fan nozzle.
