FAQs

Can I use Bond It Geo-Fix on very narrow joints?

No, Bond It Geo-Fix is designed for joints that are 5mm wide or greater.

Is this product suitable for driveways?

It is suitable for pathways and patios. For driveways subject to regular vehicle traffic, it may not be durable enough, and alternative products should be considered.

How long does it take to fully cure?

Geo-Fix normally cures between 4 and 6 hours, but this can vary depending on ambient temperature and humidity levels.

Can I apply this in the rain?

Yes, Geo-Fix All Weather is designed for use in both dry and wet conditions. However, heavy downpours immediately after application could potentially affect the final finish or curing process.

What happens if I get excess compound on the paving slabs?

It is best to remove any excess compound from the surface of the paving slabs with a stiff brush before it cures. Once cured, it can be difficult to remove.

Do I need to seal the joints after using Geo-Fix?

No, Geo-Fix is a permanent joint filler and does not require sealing once cured.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Please refer to the packaging for the specific batch expiry date. For best results, use within the manufacturer's recommended timeframe and store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Compound is not curing or is taking too long.

Ensure the joints were adequately filled and that there was sufficient exposure to air. Curing times can vary based on temperature and humidity; very cold or damp conditions may slow the process. Ensure the product was within its shelf life.

Compound has washed away during application.

This can happen if applied during very heavy rain. Try to apply during a drier period, or if conditions are unavoidable, work in smaller sections and ensure the compound is well-brushed into the joint before heavy rain occurs.

Product is difficult to brush into the joints.

Ensure the joints are not blocked with soil or debris. If the compound seems stiff, ensure it has been stored correctly and is not past its expiry date. A slightly damp brush can sometimes help with smooth application.

Compound has crumbled after curing.

This may indicate insufficient joint depth or poor compaction into the joint. Ensure joints meet the minimum 5mm width and depth requirement and that the product was thoroughly brushed in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the paving joints are clean, dry (if possible, though wet application is viable), and free from debris. Remove any existing weed growth or old mortar.
  2. Joint Depth: The joints should be at least 5mm wide. Ensure there is adequate depth for the compound to fill the joint effectively.
  3. Application: Simply brush the ready-to-use Geo-Fix compound directly into the clean paving joints using a stiff brush. Work the compound down into the joint to ensure a full fill.
  4. Finishing: Once brushed in, smooth the surface of the joint with the brush. Remove any excess compound from the paving surface before it cures.
  5. Curing: Geo-Fix normally cures between 4 and 6 hours. Avoid walking on the paved area or exposing it to heavy rain during this period.

Compatibility:

Geo-Fix is compatible with most common paving materials, including:

  • Natural Stone
  • Porcelain
  • Terracotta
  • Clay Pavers
  • Concrete Pavers
  • Cobble Stones

It is not suitable for 'V'-shaped joints.

Care:

Once cured, Geo-Fix is maintenance-free. For cleaning the paved area, use standard household cleaning methods. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the jointing compound over time. Regularly sweep the patio to prevent excessive debris build-up.
