About This Product
Techniseal EZ Sand is a trusted and proven mix of graded sand and binder that flows smoothly down joints for a fast and effective installation of pavers or slabs on surfaces exposed to normal traffic. Easy to work with, this jointing sand starts to set only a few-minutes after activation and quickly becomes resistant to water erosion (rain, splashes, sprinklers, etc.). It is a budget-friendly alternative to higher performance sand, for installations carried out in lighter-duty environments.

Questions & Answers
What is the process of applying water after pavers and polymeric sand is put down?
Hello, as instructed on the bag and the technical data sheet, you have to use a garden hose, on shower setting. Working in sections of no more than 200 sq.ft. at a time, you shower the section for 30 seconds, you pause for 30 seconds, and then you water again for another 30 seconds. You can then move to the next section. If you have any other question on the product and how to work with it, feel free to contact our team of technical advisors at 1-800-465-7325. Regards.
Can we use to add more between cracks that has washed away?
Hello. In order to redo some areas, you will have to remove the sand from the joint and get a minimum depth of 1 1/2" . Simply adding new sand over existing joint will result in this new section to break away from the rest, and you will be in the same situation again. Regards.

Brush into cracks and then wet to harden?
Hello. There is a little more to it than just sweeping it in and watering. One crucial step is the compaction. without it, it will not stop weeds and ants from coming through, and the joints will not be as effective. After you first sweep the sand in the joint, you need to do mechanical compaction. Then add more sand, and compact again. Afterwards, the use of a leafblower is recommended to remove leftovers on the surface and ensuring you have a gap of 1/8" between the top of the joint and the surface of the pavers. Then you can activate it with water. On the shower mode, water for 30 seconds, pause for 30 seconds, and water for another 30 seconds. Do not worry, all these instructions are on the back of the bag for your conviniency! Have a great day!
