Re pointing a patio.
Hi, a few years ago I had a new patio laid and have never been happy with the way the pointing was done, and after a couple of years of jet washing loads of it has come out. So now I am going to remove all the existing pointing and re point it all myself, any advice on strength of mix or different sands to use.
Also when it is finished I will be re sealing the patio with wet look patio sealer any advice on this would be great too ( what brand and how many coats ). And will wet look sealer make the slabs slippery when wet as if this is the case I will just re seal it with normal patio sealer.
Thanks.
