Step 5. Pre-Wetting: Fully saturate the paved surface before starting the application and ensure this condition is maintained throughout the work. The amount of wetting require is related directly to the type and porosity of paving and the site conditions. ie. sunlight, temperature, wind etc. | |
Step 6. Starting from a high point, empty the mixed grout onto the surface. Brush/squeegee grout mix across the whole area making sure all material flows into the joints, where it self compacts.
