Troubleshooting
Compound is not hardening or setting properly.
Ensure the joint depth is at least 20mm, as specified. Check that joints were clean and free of excessive debris. While suitable for rain, ensure there isn't excessive standing water that could dilute the resin. Apply when ambient temperatures are within recommended guidelines.
Cracks are appearing in the joints after application.
Verify that the joints were completely filled and adequately compacted during the application process. Insufficient filling or a unstable sub-base can lead to cracking. Ensure the paving itself is stable and not experiencing significant movement.
Compound is difficult to work with, stiff or crumbly.
Although designed for all-weather, extreme cold can make the compound stiffer, and extreme heat can cause it to dry out too quickly. Try to work during moderate temperatures or bring the compound to room temperature before use. Ensure tools are clean and moistened if necessary.
Residue on paving surface after sweeping.
Ensure all excess compound is thoroughly swept off the paving surface immediately after filling the joints. A stiff brush can help. If dried residue remains, it may require careful cleaning with specialized paving cleaner or a light abrasive method, ensuring not to damage the paving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Preparation: Ensure the joints between your paving are clean, free from loose debris, weeds, and organic matter. For best results, joints should be at least 20mm deep. If applying in dry conditions, slightly dampen the area beforehand to aid compaction.
Application: Open the tub and spread the Sika FastFix All Weather Paving Jointing Compound directly onto the paving surface. Use a soft broom or squeegee to work the compound deeply and thoroughly into all the joints. Ensure the joints are completely filled and compacted.
Finishing: Once joints are filled, brush off any excess compound from the paving surface. For a smoother finish, you can gently compact the joints with a pointing tool.
