Sika Fast Fix All Weather | Ready to Use, Self-Setting

Provided you have the width and depth necessary this product works a treat. I used it to repoint a 20 square meter Indian Stone patio after some of the original pointing had failed after removing the old pointing with a 9ins grinder fitted with an appropriate thickness blade I jet washed the whole surface and joints then brushed in about half a bag at a time, (I used 3 of the 4 bags in total)of the joint compound into the still wet joints and slabs then pressed it down firmly and refilled flush where necessary with a round nose hand towel flattening to a smooth finish i then gave it a light brush with a soft hand brush and left it for a couple of days to set hard. After a couple of days I gave it a good sweep then vacuumed up any remaining loose grains before sealing with a really good Thompson clear patio seal

Great product easy to use sets hard after a day or so

Having read the instructions before using, it still took a little while to get used to the application. Once mastered, the product is easy to work with and gives a very good finish. Overall, very pleased with the product and the end result on my patio.

Use this for all my patio pointing repairs. So easy to use and doesn’t get messy. Good choice of colours too

I followed the instructions and the product was excellent for replacing mortar in-between crazy paving. No more muddy spots.

The only negative was the smell which affected me slightly, being asthmatic. However I would use it again. I had positive comments from family when they viewed the garden. Very pleased.

Liked easy application and reasonable price. Took 36 hours to set rock hard.
No dislikes but suggest delivery to location rather than collect as it is REALLY heavy.
We used 2 purchases to do a large patio with deep 1960’s slabs. Good product!

Never used a ready-to-use patio tile grout before, but would definitely use this one again. Application into the joints was simple – I was using it to repair a section of patio that had lost most of its grouting, a relatively small area, so worked it in with a hand brush and grouting trowel (aka a piece of wood I cut for the job!) Very easy. Half of the full pack (one foil packet) was just right for the 8 sq metres approx that I needed to re-point. Be aware that once opened you have to use it, so I was pleased not to have to open the second foil pack. Working time of 1 hour was plenty, and it remained workable a lot longer. 24h to set in the sunniest area, slower where it was in a damp, shady corner. Very pleasing job once completed.

This was/is my first test of this product and I’m impressed – with caveats. I’m not sure where the idea of using it on a wet surface came from, but I’d ignore it. Working on a dry surface you can use a soft brush to clear the bits of mixture that spread around. With the aid of the grouting tool, and judicious use of your figures, it’s pretty easy to apply and make neat. The stuff comes out feeling a little wet in my opinion, but that makes it easier to smooth out on the smaller crooks and nannies. Once the filling and cleaning is done, give the area a wetting with a garden hose set on mist, or something else not to powerful. The grout goes off overnight in my case to a good solid feel. My only complaint, and it’s a big one, is the storing of unused product. I’ve had two boxes so far, two bags in each, and one bag per day is about my limit. Storing the second bag overnight, I found it solid the next morning, It was opened, but it was in the box, and in a store cupboard. Might be a factor of the ‘feels wet’ comment above. Then the same thing happened on the second box. From now on I’m only opening one bag per day and keeping the other indoors. Overall, don’t be put off by some of the negative comments, this stuff is doing a good job for me.

I used this product to replace some of the the crumbling Easyjoint mortar used when my patio was installed 3 years ago. I followed the instructions to the letter, in particular giving all areas a thorough soaking with water before using the Sika. It was a hot dry day, so it only took a few minutes for any standing water to drain away. I set to work, quickly brushing into all the joints, compressing with a jointing tool, then topping up and compressing again. It was a rush to get it done before the hour was up, and I was initially pleased that the process was easy. And being warm and dry outside I was expecting significant hardening by the following morning, well after the 6-12 hours warm weather setting time.
So I was aghast to find that there had been absolutely no hardening at all. It was just like coarse sand. I decided that the dry conditions were the problem, so I sprinkled water over all the joints and used my jointing tool again. the next day it was clearly starting to set, so I sprinkled more water. Happy Days! By Day 3 it was perfect ! Such a shame that a good (maybe great) product is let down by incomplete instructions. No mention anywhere of being careful in very dry conditions.
