A:Â This is only the sand that goes in between pavers. You broom it in and then wet it so it hardens. You can purchase a sealer separatelyÂ

Terrible!
Save your money and buy a quality product you get what you pay for! This product is inferior. Very skilled at preparation and I took all the necessary steps before applying the sand. The product had black particles in what was supposed to be tan sand. Looked horrible. I had to pressure wash and clear the sand out all over. Bought something more expensive and got the results expected.

My money washed away with the sand
I had used other brand of this sand before on my pavers, every couple of years I power wash the patio and resand.
I tried Sakrete brand this time, followed the directions and had a week or so to dry with no rain.
We just had rain and I had puddles of sand.

I have a large patio and it has installed perfectly! Wonderful product. I used a hand sprayer to wet the sand multiple times (working smaller sections) to insure it was completely soaked. Once I determined it had plenty of water, it took a full 36-48 hours to dry completely, it is solid!! Before I installed the sand, I sealed the stone with DC Seal and used satin for the second coat on the stone.

Easy to apply, Take your time!
It was easy to apply but you do need to take your time. It took me some time to get used to but in the end it came out great! The first time I did it there were a few spots that didn't harden or washed out. So the next day I filled in the spots that washed out. I them watered it 4 different times about 10 min. I watched that on YouTube and it really worked. Here is the final result.

Total waste of time and money!
Followed the instructions to the letter- first off you’ll never get all the sand off the top with a broom or a blower bc it just gets moved around and if you up the speed on the blower the sand blows out of the joints defeating the entire purpose of the project. I’ve used perma sand before and had no problem but after putting this one down all I have is a sandy mess that will not harden. It also is supposed to be tan but this is clearly not tan it’s white. I’ll blow it all off the patio before it damages the pavers rather than wait any longer for zero results- JUNK!!

Please DO NOT BUY...
This product is crap. I followed the application instructions to the letter. Product left a tan haze on my brand new pavers. Had to acid wash several times to remove the haze. Unfortunately, it also faded the color of the pavers.
Do yourself a favor, find a joint sealer that does not have concrete in it
Find a NO HAZE sealer.
