My sand doesn’t harden after 24 hours. I can still press it or scratch it with my finger. Why is this happening?

Humidity and temperature can increase the cure time. Polymeric sand will set once that water has fully evaporated from the sand. Note that polymeric sand will appear flexible when wet and may feel spongey but will remain set in your paver joints.

After I watered in the sand my pavers now have a haze to them. What did I do wrong?

The surface must be completely dry at the beginning of the application process. Any moisture will cause the polymers to stick and prematurely activate leaving a white residue on the surface. Wait 14 days after application to clean your pavers.

I am replacing my existing joint stabilizer that is 2" deep. Do I have to remove all the old sand and start fresh?

We would recommend removing all the old sand and starting fresh. The old sand underneath could result in poor drainage, causing sand failure due to improper drainage conditions. You need to remove at least 1" for the new sand to perform as intended.

I filled the joints until sand reached the top of my pavers. Now rain keeps washing out my sand. Why is this happening?

DOMINATOR should fill the joints up to 1/8" BELOW the surface of your paver to avoid washout. When sweeping the sand into the paver joints, you should be able to freely sweep across the surface of your pavers without disturbing the sand.

I chose a color but when I received it, it wasn’t the same color as the images. Why is this?

Screen colors may vary. Choose a small size to confirm the color is desired for the entire project. Activate it to see the final color as the sand will darken slightly after activation with water.

Excellente qualité et facile à poser

Dispendieux mais vaut le coût. Les instructions sont simples et claires et la qualité du produit donne un résultat impeccable. Notez que ça prend une bonne journée pour que le produit sèche et durcisse complètement.

Gray Dominator is Closer to White when dried

Finished colour is Closer to White rather than grey

Not worth the money

Did not get hard with water like it was supposed to. It was very expensive and not worth it in the end. Next time I’d purchase the cheapest colour and mix a bit of powdered paint in with it.
