Before using EASYJoint read all of these instructions, visit www.azpects.com and watch the video Pre-Installation Checks EASYJoint is designed for use on a free draining site. Before using, check the site conditions are suitable for the use of EASYJoint, which is a permeable jointing solution (see below). Site Conditions IMPORTANT: The project’s ground conditions must be free draining. If the area stays naturally wet and rarely dries out, or if there is a high water table, then EASYJoint should not be used. EASYJoint cures gradually on contact with air, so, if the paving base never or rarely dries, nor will the bottom of the joints, resulting in joint failure. If the joints cannot gain full exposure to air, sometimes the top will crust over (from evaporation) but the lower section of the joint may not cure properly. Additionally, ensure the project has a suitable "fall" to allow surface water to drain away. Note about use of ad-mix products. Adding products such as PVA, SBR or other additives can greatly affect the porosity of mortar and may make the paving base unsuitable when jointing with EASYJoint. Weather Conditions. EASYJoint can be applied in virtually all weather conditions. However, in freezing conditions, or in falling temperatures below 38°F, refer to the website for guidance. If heavy or prolonged rain is forecast, wait for drier conditions, as heavy rain could disturb the sand particles that make up EASYJoint before it cures hard, giving an uneven texture. Prolonged rain will also extend the curing process. See www.azpects.com for more information. Suitable Paving Types. EASYJoint can be used with all paving types, subject to a minimum joint width of 1/8". (See section on Joint Dimensions). For narrow jointed paving we recommend EASYSandBinder to stabilize the ICPI recommended joint sand. EASYJoint Colors. There are various colors to choose from. However, EASYJoint is made from naturally sourced products and shades may vary, so always select tubs with the same batch number to complete a project. The name of the color and the color of the lid are for identification purposes only and are not a representation of the actual color of the contents. Color samples are normally available from your supplier and can also been seen in our literature and on our website. To ensure the color meets your requirements, test a small area before spreading out the whole tub. Repointing Old Paving. Clean out the old jointing product completely to create the correct joint size (see section on Joint Dimensions). Do not use EASYJoint if the correct and fully clean joint size cannot be obtained. Be aware of the information supplied about site conditions and the porosity of the base and ground conditions. If there is uncertainty about either of these factors, do not useEASYJoint. In such instances, EASYJoint PROmay be a viable alternative - visit the Azpects website for more information. Joint Dimensions: min 1/8" wide x 3/4" deep. When working with thin paving material it is difficult to achieve the correct depth. In such cases, to achieve the required depth, create a channel in the base material by running the tip of a trowel around the exposed edges of each paver. Ensure that at least the minimum gap width is maintained throughout the full depth of the paving. 1
