    Just weeded, power washed and replaced kiln sand in my block paving driveway for the first time. Your tip about brushing diagonally across the edges rather than with them was invaluable. Thanks!

      What do you use to clean resiblock from your brushes and roller? Currently got it sat in a box of fairy liquid and water right now but don't think it's doing much! Terps?

      Follow the instructions to the letter and never ever apply to a damp surface. The paving and the sand need to be bone dry. If in doubt It's recommended that quite a few test patches of sand in different places our placed inbetween the paving joints, let it sit for a while to see if new sand turns wet by diging out the sand and having a look before sanding all the paving. Moisture/ dampness and sealer do not get on! If you have residual dampness on the surface it can get trapped under the sealer and white milky patches will be seen! This is when your nightmare will start! The only way to get rid of it will be to chemically strip the polyurethane off. I was told this by resiblock themselves a couple of years ago. Remember- BONE DRY !

    • @aemackintosh

      A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services In my opinion in winter water will sit with zero ambient temperature and most likely freeze. Personal preference to seal completely . I’d rather be able to easily lift the blocks if needed, and future cleaning could be more messy with sticky chunks of kiln dried. But I’m only guessing. All the best.

    Great video!
    When finishing the dry resend can you apply sealant straight away to sand or do you need to mist the sand with water for it to bind?
    And how do you price for sealant ? I don’t think you’ve done a video for that

    • @aemackintosh

      Just apply the sealant when the paving is dry. I measure the area and charge per square meter, taking into account the cost for the sealant you need for the area.😃👍🏼

      I guess you are in the right ball park. I usually give the customer a separate price for the sealant application. I don’t find that part of the job as profitable as the actual cleaning, but if they really want sealant then sometimes it helps to clinch the deal.👍🏼

    not properly prepping the joints for the sand is a complete failure. It's an inch to an inch and a half cleaning out the joints properly before you resent not just knocking the surface off. This is not going to last and it's not done properly.

      Spraying does not give a thorough coverage and does not create a proper seal that will last. Resiblock recommend 2 coats using a roller in order to fully saturate the surface and give the best protection.
