Patio repointing, what's the best option?

crowsoutside · 12 May 2024

I've scraped out all of the old pointing and I'm ready to repoint.

Gaps are between 6mm and 20mm.

What's the "best" method, should I brush in a dry sand/cement mix or should I make a wet mix and push it into the joints?

Thanks in advance.

wet and pushed in is much better, the paving expert site says to make it stiff enough not to stain your hands when you squeeze a small lump. brushed in dry ends up much softer, I didpart of my patio steps with brushed and it has failed much quicker than the rest that is still strong.
