Ideal for use with natural stone, limestone, porcelain, Yorkstone, Indian Stone, granite setts and concrete paving slabs It is a complete set that takes care of almost everything. Mixing the formulas to get the perfect color takes a few minutes, and the instructions were pretty clear. After using it for ceramic tile chips, the formula delivered a beautiful result that, honestly, was surprising for us. Use tweezers to apply small pieces. You only have about 60–90 seconds from start of epoxy mixing to placement before the epoxy becomes gummy and unworkable. Use clay to hold the pieces together if gravity alignment is not possible (5). Any epoxy Mix. Mix the resin and hardener together for the length of time specified on the product’s instructions. Fill a container that is slightly larger than the piece you want to prepare with plastic pebbles, rice, or sand. This will cradle and hold the repaired piece still and in place while it cures. Finally, do a dry run of how the pieces will fit together.

You never know when an accident might cause chips on any of these surfaces, and having a versatile kit might help us save. 2. The Right Color Freezing conditions are not always problematic for EASYJoint, however the volume of water used during the application process can potentially freeze. In this instance the particles within the grout mix won’t settle into the joints evenly due to the presence of ice and potentially lead to longer term problems. Wipe all surfaces with a 91% alcohol solution to remove dust and oils prior to applying filler epoxy. Mix equal parts of PC-11 epoxy filler (8). Still, if the manufacturer doesn’t provide proper instructions, it is better to consider a kit that includes a painting solution. 3. Durable Fixenough adhesive to cover the edge. Too little will leave gaps, resulting in a weak repair; too much will make it difficult to achieve a tight joint. Yes, theoretically EASYJoint can be used below 3 degrees down to freezing conditions, however in these conditions, the use of lots of water becomes more difficult with a greater risk of staining. Where possible avoid using below 3 degrees, use with caution. Does EASYJoint stain paving slabs? Utilise the same method when working with porcelain paving tiles as with working with stone or concrete. The base on which the porcelain is laid must be able to drain. If the base is non-permeable then EASYJoint Pro or EASYGrout should be used.

Floor Levellers & Preparation We offer a range of single & two-part flexible, reinforced and deep fill floor levellers, bulking concrete, primers and vapour suppressants for preparation of your subfloor prior to tiling or laying floor coverings. Whilst following the instructions carefully, if you do happen to make an error with EASYJoint, don’t worry, the only stain or picture framing that the jointing compound may potentially leave is linseed oil which will disappear and fade over time. By using lots of water when brushing the product in, it will ensure that any linseed oil will sit on top and simply get washed away! Detailed instructions on how to joint paving with our sweep in sand can be found inside the EASYJoint tub.Zero Waste – Opened tubs of EASYJoint, if not fully used, can be kept for later use providing they are covered by a minimum of 2″ (50mm) or more of water Still have the broken piece that chipped off your ceramic sink? Then reach for a product like UniBond Repair All Purpose 1 Minute Epoxy, which dries translucent, provides a strong, waterproof, permanent repair and is ideal for bonding non-porous to non-porous surfaces like ceramic. Wet the Paving. Thoroughly soak the patio or paved area to be jointed with lots of water using a hose. The paving must be absolutely saturated before starting and remain soaked throughout the application process ‘the wetter, the better.’ We strongly recommend not shortcutting this process, particularly when working with absorbent or sensitive materials such as Sandstone, Granite and Limestone. Highly absorbent and porous stone will require sealing, 2-3 days prior to laying, on its top surface and four edges. The best way to restore a broken ceramic object is by using a cold-materials process. With modern adhesives, fillers, paints, and cold glaze, it’s possible to perform seamless repairs to damaged ceramic objects. A basic ceramic repair happens in EASYJoint can be applied in virtually any weather conditions, however it is best practice to ensure that ground temperatures are greater than 3 degrees during the grout installation. Once installed, freezing conditions will not impair EASYJoint All Weather Jointing Mortar.

Repair Express Power Putty can be used to fill the gap and form a long-lasting, waterproof and temperature-resistant repair. Ensure that the damaged area and surrounding surface are clean, free of dust, dirt, grease, soap residue, wax and cleaners.while curing; workable—can be drilled and sanded; paintable; water/oil proof; will tolerate a wide temperature range without shrinking or expanding. We let the filler epoxy cure at 110°F so it cures very hard, which is needed before sanding.
