- In this video I show you how to point up a porcelain slab for a patio using sika fast fix all weather compound.
So.. all I did was wet all the paving slabs up before starting the job , only open 1 bag at a time, then empty a small about , and immediately brush in , the sika compound needs to be compacted down into the joints with a jointing trowel to make sure you get a solid fill , I always make sure I get a solid fill on all the joints.

Tz 6 nice one mate 👊
👌👌 hope your job turns out as good as mine did mate and thanks for stopping by the vid 👍👍
Brilliant work 👍👍
Thanks alot ivan yeah I was well pleased with how it turned out it's so easy to use the hardest part is making sure you get the joints full thanks for your feedback mate nice one
👍👌👊🏻.
Hi can I askvwhy you wet slabs first, isnt it more difficult to brush compound when wet rather than dry
Hi mate thanks for stopping by the vid 👍👊
It's what the instructions say do mate think it helps the resin work better thanks for the feedback 👍 👊🫡
How long does it actually take to go off in the bag once air gets to it ? Or does it only start curing once water activates it ?
Nice video by the way.
Good question Jordan 👍
I would say if you have any compound left and want to keep for another job put it in a bucket of water and it should last 1 month and can be reused but if left in an opened bag the compound will start to harden not sure of the time scale but it's just a matter of time before it hardens and carnt be used, thanks for watching and your comment appreciate it
👍👍👌.
Is it easy to clean off the tiles? I can imagine if they are wet and have compound swept over them you might dry if hard
Thanks for stopping by the vid Rick nice one mate 👍
The porcelain slabs are none porous mate and won't absorb any of the easy fill compound which makes for easy cleaning plus my experience with the compound I've never had any slabs stain up.
Thanks for your comment mate appreciate it alot 👍.
Did you wait for slabs to dry before brushing in ? Thanks also for sharing
Great video thanks. Where did you buy your thin pointing trowel, I’m looking for on just like that… thanks
Thanks mate appreciate that 👌👌👍 the trowel is a marshalltown tuck pointer I've had it a good while now and I'm sure I got it on Amazon, if you go to Amazon and put in the search bar marshalltown tuck pointer it should come up , yeah its ideal for pointing, thanks for stopping by the vid hope this helps 👍👍👈.
@@creativecrambo Maybe you're doing this now but set yourself up with an amazon affilliate account and put the tools and products used in the description to your video. That way it's easy for viewers to find the tools you're using and you'll make a little kickback on each sale at no extra cost to us so it's win-win. Thanks for the video bud.

Davos that is a great idea mate I will definitely check that out 💯 and like you said it's a win win situation I'd also like to say thanks for stopping by the vid mate appreciate that alot I love constructive comments like this because its something I haven't thought about and you have put a seed in my head lol thanks for the advice mate nice one 👍👍
I'm always thinking of different ideas to grow the channel and that could be one of them I'm abit of old school mate and learning as I go lol thanks mate and you take care and have a good evening 👊👌👍👍.
@@creativecrambo Ah you're most welcome mate. Keep up the good work :)
Great video buddy, have a porcelain job to point and inexperienced with the grout method. Would you be happy to use sika again next job?
Looks much easier than using grout and a good video as well, however I asked Sika about this and they said it was not suitable for Porcelain Tiles. The product also says 5mm joints. Have you found any problems with using the Sika jointing compound?
Thanks for watching chris 👍yeah its alot easier then grouting mate and alot cleaner aswell, yeah 5mm would be the minimum joint size , and all my experience using the compound has been good when applied properly with compressed filling to obtain full joints and a depth of 20/25mm it goes rock hard in about a week plus don't crack or shrink, it's all about personal preference mate thanks for your feedback nice one
👍👍👌.
This fails when you jetwash the patio after winter comes right up.
Yeah the old jet washer can take anything out the pointing on that patio has had 2 winters mate and the owner has probably jetwashed it aswell I've had no phone calls as of yet mate I've heard some good and bad things about that sort of pointing, every one I've done has held up thanks for stopping by the vid mate 👍 👊
May I know the tile spacer you use?
Hello mate 👊 yeah I'm sure the spacers were 5mm mate you can go up to 10mm all depends on your preference thanks for stopping by the vid mate nice one 👍 👊
Thank you
@@cwlam518
No prob mate 👍 👌👊
Does it leave any residue/ stains on the slabs?
Hi 👊
The best thing to do is test an area first before you use any compound resins the one I used didn't but I did do a test before 👍
Thanks for stopping by the vid 👊
Read the instructions!This is not for use with porcelain and the minimum widths for the joints have not been adhered to.
Caroline, sounds like you haven't used the jointing compound before , it works just perfect with a minimum 5mm joint and 25mm depth also the way i compressed the jointing compound in so all the joints are full , you can use the jointing compound on various surfaces, done properly like I show in my video theres no way the jointing compound won't work, it takes about 12 hours to set and probably about a week to fully cure , and the results are great , if your unsure about it do a sample area, but it definitely works when you do it right , thanks for watching 👍👍.
@@creativecrambo nice paving job but this is not for use with porcelain as the product is porous - even though it will set and look fine for a while - a big no no- marshalls symphony is the only non porous brush in jointing product for porcelain although there may already be others, can see why you want an alternative to grout which is a chore.
@@MARTINWHITELAW is it the only one ?
@@samfeddon9923 think there may be others on the market now,maybe, ASPECTS OR AZPECTS- only used the Marshalls product at £60 tub, better than grouting which is messy and labour intensive.
@@MARTINWHITELAW yeh I used the grout last time and it was a nightmare so looking for an alternative
