SBR with a splash of cement powder.

Thanks. I have Indian Sandstone Raj Green so I’m guessing normal cement will do? I’ve had a look at a few videos and as always people use different mixtures. What mixture do you recommend?
I’m planning on using sharp sand and cement in 5:1 ratio for the mortar. What pointing product do your recommend?
Cheers,
Ed

We use a manageable 4:1 (sharp/cement). Full beds. The skill is having just enough gear down for a bit of knockage with the rubber hammer, without loads of gear oozing up through the joints. We then joint it with a wet fix polymer jointing compound. Always tool the joints - don't just brush it in.

Yes, the old slabbing has come on a treat with our help here. Well done.We use a manageable 4:1 (sharp/cement). Full beds.

Just mix cement and sbr together (no water) so it's paintable consistency then paint the back of slabs with it carefully. Some people like to do if as they go. Others like to let it go off so it tacky.
BTW it's sticky stuff so don't get on your hands, fade of slabs.
