Troubleshooting

Compound not curing properly or taking too long

Ensure joints were adequately filled and compacted. Check environmental conditions (extreme cold or high humidity can slow curing). Ensure the product has not exceeded its shelf life. For very deep joints, ensure the product is applied in layers if recommended by specific application guidelines.

Excess compound left on paving surface

Sweep away excess compound immediately after application and before it begins to set. If it has started to set, a stiff brush or scraper may be needed, taking care not to disturb the jointing.

Puddling still occurs after application

While the product is permeable, excessive puddling can still occur if the underlying sub-base is not draining effectively or if the paving is laid on a solid, non-permeable base. Ensure proper ground preparation.

Product appears to shrink or crack slightly

This can occasionally happen with all jointing compounds as they cure. Ensure joints are filled to the recommended depth and compacted well. For very wide joints, multiple applications may be necessary if specified.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy and fast to apply.
  • Works in various weather conditions, including damp.
  • Reduces puddling by allowing water drainage.
  • Suitable for a wide range of paving types and joint widths.
  • Eliminates the mess and effort of mixing sand and cement.

Cons

  • Not suitable for "V" shaped joints.
  • Requires joints to be at least 5mm wide.
  • Curing time can be affected by extreme temperatures or humidity.
  • May not be suitable for very heavy traffic areas without proper sub-base preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure paving joints are clean, dry (if possible, though wet application is permissible), and free from debris. For best results, joints should be a minimum of 5mm wide and ideally 20mm deep.

Application: Open the container and use a stiff brush to sweep the Geo-Fix compound into the joints. Ensure the compound fills the joint completely. Lightly compact the material using a trowel or small tamper. Brush away any excess material from the paving surface.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with most paving types including natural stone, porcelain, terracotta, clay, concrete, and cobble stones. It is suitable for joints 5mm and wider.

Care: Once cured, the jointing is largely maintenance-free. Clean paving surfaces as usual. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners directly on the joints. If repairs are needed, simply reapply the compound to the affected areas after cleaning.

Important Note: Not suitable for "V" shaped joints.
