I have watched a ton of pressure washing videos and every time they re-sand I always wonder if they feel like there's ever not enough sand in the joints, or they're brushing too much out of the joints and then they use a leaf blower to dust off the excess sand. Soooooo...... How, do u know there is enough sand in the joints after doing all of that???
Good video, however I find the kiln dried sand disappears after a couple of rainfalls, shows the gaps again, maybe I need to seal it as you suggested or keep sanding it every few weeks. Cheers
Joel Osg it won’t disappear completely. Sometimes it might be a good idea to spray the area with a light mist. Sealant without a doubt. Turns the sand rock solid if done correctly.
Electronics Central the sealer gives the blocks protection as well, once the sealant dried in it forms like a barrier. Hardens the sand also so prevents water going down and weeds coming up.
I find it therapeutic watching sanding videos but having trouble finding longer videos. Yours is a good one. Your voice is calming also 👍☺️
I'm literally just about to do this tomorrow! thanks
Thank you so much ❤️
Hiya do you apply sand before applying a sealant or do you seal the block paving allow to dry then apply the kiln dried sand .
Sand before you seal
Sealant should harden the sand making it water tight
Allow about 72 hours of dry weather before you seal
Could I brush cement in between the gaps instead of sand? That way when I spray it with water it will go hard and seal it.
Wejust picked up dry mortar mix to do it. I hope it works? We're thinking the same way as you!
Curious. May I ask a question? What sand or you using and why didn't you use polymeric sand? PLEASE Help. I used Sakrete all multi-purpose.
How many bags of sand would it take for that size drive?
I think it was about 2-3 bags in total
Can you do a video on sealing the driveway after sanding
Hi pal. Will maybe try next year. Weather at this time of year in Glasgow isn’t very warm/ sunny.
Will be on my to do list!
Thanks

SH Pressure Washing cheers for the reply, I might try the sealant option, plenty of time on my hands at the moment, thanks Pal 👍
Hey can you pls tell me where can I get same brick like that
What sealant do we use to seal it after sand goes down ?
Steve spooky kash Richards- shade, I recommend resiblock or smartseal. Both really good quality sealers
Hey what do u pressure wash the drive way with ? What mix ratio
Are you supposed to resand evertime you pressure wash a drive even if a home washer is used
Electronics Central hi, yeh the purpose of the sand is to help keep the blocks stable, you don’t want to risk movement in the blocks.
@@shpressurewashing3504 thanks for your reply and then sealer after? Is the purpose of a sealer to give it the shiny look?
Electronics Central the sealer gives the blocks protection as well, once the sealant dried in it forms like a barrier. Hardens the sand also so prevents water going down and weeds coming up.
@@shpressurewashing3504 nice are there any brands you guys recommend?
Electronics Central personally I like resiblock, however smartseal are also good a good bit cheaper too
Hi sh pressure washing do you know much about sealing?
Were can I get someone to do re sanding for me am staying in Kagiso, krugersdorp Gauteng
Hi there how many bags do I need to resand a 240 square meter please ?
Anderson - it depends mate, if the blocks have bigger gaps between them then you’ll use more
@@shpressurewashing3504 thank you so much 😊
Hi, what sand do you use?
what if the floor is wet from rain?
Then either don’t sand and wait for a dry day for the blocks to dry or spend a long time brushing wet sand into the joints
In a year or so time, will it need to be re-sanded again even after sealing it?
Faya00001 pebble depending on which sealant you use, Resiblock for example have a 5 year guarantee. So you shouldn’t have to.
@@shpressurewashing3504 thank you :)
How many pounds per square foot di you use?
