Renovating Using Geo-Fix® Original

Step 1

Thoroughly rake out all the existing joints, removing all weeds and plant growth, including roots. If Moss or Mould is present treat whole area with Everbuild Patio Wizard.

ALLOW TO DRY THOROUGHLY FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE PROCEEDING, SURFACES & JOINTS MUST BE TOTALLY DRY BEFORE APPLYING  GEO-FIX® ORIGINAL.

Step 2

GEO-FIX® ORIGINAL should be considered for its aesthetic and not its structural properties, therefore, all paving must be firmly fixed using an appropriate bedding technique to prevent settlement and movement.

Step 3

Using a soft brush, push the Geo-Fix® ORIGINAL compound into the joints at a 45° angle.

Once opened the entire bag must be used within 30 -45 minutes (*temperature dependent).

Step 4

Firmly compact Geo-Fix® ORIGINAL with a pointing tool, refill and repeat ensuring a fully compacted & topped joint. Firm compaction is the key to the successful laying of Geo-Fix®. Ensure Geo-Fix® is finished slightly below the surface.

Step 5

After application, brush off excess with a soft brush, taking care not to brush out any Geo-Fix® ORIGINAL from the treated area. Geo-Fix® ORIGINAL will harden over a 2-3 hour period**.

*At 20°C and 50% relative air humidity, the working time is reduced to 30 minutes.

**Setting time 2 – 3 hours at 20°C, 6 – 10 hours at 5°C
