How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This jointing compound is used during the final stages of paving installation or during maintenance of existing paved areas. After the paving slabs are laid and the surface is cleaned, the compound is applied to fill the joints, then compacted and left to cure before the area is put into regular use.

The process involves preparing the surface by cleaning and wetting, applying the compound, compacting it into the joints, and allowing adequate drying time. This creates a sealed, weed-resistant finish that protects the paving structure.
