Note: I saw it fit to create a new topic based upon the comments in my previous thread in regards to pointing a Marshalls Woodstone patio.

As I have created tight joints ranging from 2mm to 8mm (see below photos), the general advice seems to be to fill them with KDS, however I fear that this will in deed wash out of the larger joints. So, what alternatives are there to KDS with slightly larger (and heavier) grains but still suitable for joint filling? The two products I can see are:

- Bradstone's 3mm Permeable Jointing Aggregate 3mm
- 1 - 4 mm crushed granite aggregate supplied by mansfield-sand (?).
- Granite dust which ranges from 1 to 6mm.

These could both be the same aggregate though, does anyone know or have any specific recommendations?

Narrowest joints (approx 20% of total area):


Widest joints (approx 20% of total area):


Majority of joints (approx 60%):
