Another cracking video. I'll be laying my own slabs in a few weeks. Will be aiming to get my mortar looking the same. Top video.
thank you so much
going to lay my own patio soon and your videos + comments are invaluable.
Thanks Joel mate, I don't always get it right but really appreciate your feedback, stay safe mate
In my opinion your best well explained video to date cheers mate
Thank you so much, I am trying to do them better but it can be hard some times when your Grinding all day and trying to be Steven Spielberg, i hope they do get better. I learn so much from the feedback as well, thank you for watching and be safe.
Good vid lads prob one of the best out there explaining it. 👍🏼
thank you
Great video. Will help on my project. State of Cement Mixer at 4:57 made me smile.
Thank you that’s kind of you.
Never had problems with sandstone without priming. Use sharp sand 4:1 and keep it wet. Sticks really well.
Shortly will be laying similar slab and I'm now glad we allowed 3 inch bed of concrete on top as area is 9m x 3.6 .
If no easy mix primer can I make with SBR and cement . Good video, Thanks .
Sounds great!
Johnny boy that mixer has seen better days my friend
Keep up the good work love the videos over here in the Good Ole USA
Hi Kev hope you are safe there mate .. are you on Facebook? If you are get on Landscaping Survival I met some great guys across the pond at the Gie Expo in Louisville .. I will get a new drum
Great video 👍🏻, for years and years we haven’t used a slurry mix and I’ve never had any problems on sandstone , very hard to make the change but maybe I should . 5:1 sharp the best hard as iron 💪
Ben mate I think its very good, I have learned so much from guys like you self stay safe mate.
We’re all learning 👍🏻
We are Ben, be safe
A silly question perhaps, but how do you work out how much sand and cement you need, to cover the area you're working on?
Nice one Johnny boy. Keep it up
Thanks Dave be safe mate
Hi can you just mix water and pure cement for slurry or should you add pva to slurry.
Loving these videos, thank you for such informative walkthroughs. Im laying an Indian Sandstone Patio at the moment and struggling to find locally a priming slurry... do you have any recommendations for the EasyPrime in south wales? Im based near Llantristant. Thanks very much for your help.
Cheers Bud I have all the Eeasyprime you need
had couple of hundreds squre meters of indian sandstone laid on ballast mix instead of sharp. it is porous and much easier to lay stones on it. obviously slurried the back of slabs with proper base and full mortar. can park even a tank on em and wont move.
Great News
i'm laying a 20mm Teak Wood sandstone, the slabs seem quite fragile and wont take much mallet work. Got any tips to help avoid breakages?
thats a tough one mate, where are they from?
Some say these excellent vids are to raise funds for a new mixer! #battered
lol
Hi Jonny, do you use SBR in the mix for the bed as well?
Yes bud I do
Hi Johnny... Why your not using PQC this time... Is it okey to concrete as well with 5:1 ratio.
laying on a concrete bed on the video Alan
Hi Johnny. Get yourself a new drum for that mixer mate, I know times are hard. Nice work😂
Lol will do mate
That mixer looked like a holiday compared to the one I was using,had to literally push the drum yo keep it going and no were near a full load !
Hi, I'm laying 12mm slate tiles over concrete base - what mix of mortar do you recommend? I'm thinking 2 sharp : 1 builders sand and 1 cement?
just 4:1 all sharp with some additive to cream it up
At least you can say you got your moneys worth out that mixer drum😂😂
I did bud,
Plenty of life in that drum !!😂
was wondering if i make a portland cement slurry and a 4-1 mortar bed about 25 mm on a concrete base will this work for 600mm x 1200mm x 20mm porcelain tile for exterior patio work for me in canada?
Yes it will take a look at Banus Stone in canada they wet lay Anthony mate
On limestone light slabs should you mix sbr with white cement or does it not make any different? I've read i need to lay on a light mortar to avoid staining coming through.
Hi Tom, the SBR coated on the back will avoid fast absorption of the moisture out of the mortar that will result in delamination and it will ensure the slab adheres to the mortar, don't forget a full bed, stay safe mate
Could you not just make an SBR slurry with cement water an SBR an coat them fully before you lay them, would this stop anything getting through? Interesting topic, got a Indian sandstone patio to do an was think of doing that? I know it works well with porcelain 🤔
I like to use a 4:1 ratio but with grit sand, and I prime the back of the flags with some PVA that's been watered down, to prevent the flags from popping up after the mortars gone off
Sounds like you know your stuff mate be safe
Do you add sbr to the mix for porcelin slabs?
I slurry them Tomos, be safe mate
Great advice mate but thats definitely the brum of mixers 🤣🤣
Lol that was years old James
@@GreentopLandscapes 🤣🤣 still done the trick mate
Hi Johnny, im just sbout to lay some 6 side smooth / sawn indian sandstone. Never laid smooth / sawn before, i always prime the backs of sandstone with an SBR / cement slurry which i think works great. Just wondered if you seal the face before laying? I've never sealed before laying, but a few suppliers online are reccomended doing this because of how easy the slabs stain when laying. Whats your thoughts and any tips for laying smooth sandstone would be most welcome.
Thanks Joe
Hi Joe, thank you for your feedback its really appreciated, its nice to see a positive sensible constructive comment. I think in some cases its just down to budget with the client. Anything that helps to protect is good but we really got to understand the stone we are using, if a supplier seals as part of the production process thats great but we just can not put anything on as it can make a mess. I have seen this a few times, thank you so much for your response and stay safe my friend. Johnyboy
@@GreentopLandscapes thanks for getting back to me. Have you ever sealed the stone before laying it? Or even sealed before pointing? Im a bit worried about this staining issue with the smooth sawn cut stone.
Thanks again, Joe
You mention using SBR when laying mortar and sandstone slabs onto an existing concrete base. You state this is for waterproofing.. I have therefore bought some SBR+. Can you tell me how I might apply it and in what mix / ratio? And what would be your instructions? Do I paint it onto the existing concrete base and let it dry or paint it on and them start putting the mix down while it is still wet / tacky? Thakns in advance for clarifying here Johnyboy!
Hi Rick mate, Just mix 50 50 and just wash it it over that concrete or you can actually slurry your concrete mate with an Priming slurry theres loads on the market.
Do you really need to paste the slabs before they are layed or will they be ok on just a bed of mortor
Absaloutly
Love your videos. Shame you are not in Yorkshire!
How come you are using a 5 to 1 mix and not a 4 to 1? Most other videos I have seen seem to recommend a 4 to 1.
Would a 5 to 1 risk the mix being too sandy?
Thanks
Hi Karl, thanks for watching mate appreciate it
Hi Johnyboy. for a 50mm bed 24 square meters in size how many tonne bags of sand should i get? and bags of cement. cheers
Couple of bags mate
Help!!! Can anyone please clearly tell me how to make the slurry for priming the back of porcelain slabs? I can't get the pre-made up stuff in Ireland. I can get raw SBR (and obviously cement and sand). What ingredients should I use and in what ratio for the PRIMER?
just make it nice and creamy and do a little at a time so it does not dry out 50 50 water to SBR
That drums made its money. You should get the new plastic drum to replace it. They’re great
Plastic ?
Thanks for video great explanation. Laying granite slabs on a concrete footpath this summer myself. Had heard about sbr for to put on concrete slab to help adhesion. Have you ever put sbr on the paving slab to instead of the cement slurry? Thanks again.
Hi John mate Try Mapei Rapid set or a priming Slurry like Bal
@@GreentopLandscapes thanks ill do that wish me luck 😃👍
Good luck
Great videos, very informative, thank you.
Currently doing my own patio using indian sandstone but I cant seem to get my hands on the Azpects Easy Prime in East Lothian, Scotland. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative ?
Give us a call Stuart mate
Wow…that mixer seen some action by the look of it.
Lol its gone now
Do u need to mix it with 5-1 sand cement ?
Yes mate all sharp
Your mixer seen better days 😂😂😅
Lmao Lmao 🤣
Instead of using easy prime,could you use,PVA,,instead,???
David mate thanks for watching, I would not use PVA as it mulcifies, stay safe
Hi Johnnyboy. As a novice, I love your vids, thanks. I have some steps to pave. I was going to use 6:1 (recommended on your other vid if using Easy Joint to point, which I intend to). I was going to SBR my old concrete base and Easy Prime the slabs. Does that all sound ok? I will add a plasterciser to my mix but do I add SBR to that mix too please? Thanks very much. Richard
Please give me a call Richard I can talk you through it
Couldn't you use some pva for prepping the flag base instead of slurry?
Not really it breaks down
Would you add the water or sand first
depends on how moist it is
Hi could you use the sand they use in concrete yards when mixing m for porcelain slabs or would that sand be too course
sorry mate i do not understand your question
@@GreentopLandscapes it’s the sand used in concrete plants so it’s fairly gritty could I use that
Should you slurry the back of concrete slabs?
Hi Jimmy, I think most paving should be slurried now, but thats just my opinion, stay safe
@@GreentopLandscapes Thanks for the advice 👍🏼
Will do, you too
50/50 sharp and soft sand and cement ,SBR in water and primer slurry the back , leave a 50mm margin for ease of laying and not get slurry on your fingers and then all over face of the paving ,
Good advice mate stay safe
2 questions.
How old is your mixer
What happened to the drum
years old
I'm confused, in some of your vids you lay the bed of mortar and then you make small voids/spaces in the bed so that when the slab goes down it spreads into those voids you make. Here you've gone completely flat, am I missing something, I'm watching so many of your vids as I'm going to be laying Indian limestone in the next few months and I don't want to get it wrong. Great vids though - very informative and comprehensive.
Hi Buddy dont get confused with a calibrated stone slab or paving you can make flat but with uncalibrated you need a few voids to accommodate the uncalibrated paving, either way there are a few methods you can use, hope this helps?
Can I use sbr as a slurry under my sandston? Or priming slurry?
Hi Mo mate, rather you use a manufactured slurry mate, everyone thinks they know the right mixes when they do there own, play safe mate use a good priming slurry Instamac is another good one
@@GreentopLandscapes cheers mate ill look for that slurry 👍
Just a question ...have you finished yet
Finished what?
I used to clean out my mixer with a hand grenade as well
Lmao
SBR or primer??
Primer its got it all
Can I get your mixer when you don't want it anymore?
of coarse , stay safe
Hi mate, Your mixer is the same age as me (50 years) 😂
No way! ol
Nice work man
But mixer’s seen better days lad
Lol 😂 it has Paul
Why you not using concrete sand. Always used this and been advised to use it for years. All other info on your video is A1. Although, will you splash out and buy a new mixer lol
That mixer drum went years ago and I do use con sand and if the mixer is working why would I change it
@@GreentopLandscapes was only kidding about the mixer. If ya awen th drum I was using for years you have some laugh lol.
Is that concrete sand your using in video?
I know mate honestly it’s fine I can have banter the sand is all sharp or con sand as some say
@@GreentopLandscapes all good 👍. Here in Ireland we've always called the different sands concrete sand, plastering sand or building sand.
It’s same every where brother, keep it 🔥
That mixer looks a bit battered lol
it is Joe but its probably 8 years old and many have not been kind to it
If you add the builders still you wouldn't need the slurry, the builders helps it adhere. slurry is for porcelain because it is non porous product, slurry is not for porous slabs like sandstone, waste of time and money using slurry on natural stone. it is a marketing gimmick. I have been laying sandstone for nearly 20 years now and my slabs dont come loose. If you do a 6 to 1 mix being 5 sharp 1 builders and one cement the concrete is as porous as the sandstone so you get an even drain and no frost heave. i appriciate there are more than one way to skin a cat, so you do you mate, but i recommend not using slurry on natural stone.
Thanks for the response, its appreciated and you are entitled to your opinion, the thing is the slabs these days are so thin and as sandstone absorbs moisture you can get delimitation through this so the slurry is just belt and braces and will ensure this does not happen.
Years ago the slabs were so thick and heavy and just would not move, thanks for your response.
Mixer been hit bit much
It was years old
Who's been kicking fuck out of the mixer
Why you swearing
@@GreentopLandscapes why not 🤣🤣🤣
need a new drum 😂
That’s gone now
retire that poor mixer lol. just a comment on viideo transitions, i'd get rid, they waste time,
Its gone
@@GreentopLandscapes poor thing lol. looks like it paid for itself.
That's the saddest looking mixer I've ever seen.
Lol I know
@@GreentopLandscapes we used one like that in Iraq, for firing mortars!!!!
i'm wearing shorts and t shirt and my work boots i will strip in my video's i take off my t shirt see my lovely hairy belly button and my nipples and my hairy armpits i just love going out to the park to see my mates i ask do want to come play football yes please i score a goal i took off my t shirt see my lovely hairy belly button and my nipples and my hairy armpits i got home and change my t shirt and my shorts i got some fresh pair of jeans and t shirt is blue i just love going to leeds shopping for my new clothes and i brought new t shirt's and jeans and shorts boxers socks i pay for my clothes it was very warm in the shop i took off my t shirt i just love walking around the shop's with no t shirt i put my hands in my pockets in my jeans i just love my tounge it's so wet i move see my feet cross
Overkill! Never make any money taking that long to lay a flag. No wonder you’ve got no boots and a clapped out mixer
Lol, sorry disappoint you Sir, I can work faster,stay safe
