I have some concrete riven effect slabs to point but i really cannot be bothered to point them with mortor or use a gun so can anyone recommend a good alternative compound. I have heard that sika stuff is good.

brush sand in?
Brush in a dry mix, then use a bucket handle and pack it, then fine spray it.
no offence buddy but that is the worse thing you can do with concrete riven slabs, if you brush dry mix over it the slabs will stain like crazy and in effect be ruined. The only way to use mortar is to use a firm mix (not wet) and point it like brick work hence the reason why i have decided to go with cemetone wide joint compound as its quicker and polymer based.

Why ask a question and then give an answer?
He is right about polymeric sands as they are the best way if you can afford them and you get the right one (some suck).
However he did say he was looking for alternative options so i gave one and done correctly (packing with a bucket handle) its at least a option.
