Welsh_red 4,755 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Ive always SBR'd the back of slabs. Worst ive seen is spotted ones that had green on the top of the slabs everywhere apart from where the spots were . I was always told PVA is no good where moisture will be as when it gets wet it goes back to a slimy texture . Ive always used cement pointing but last 2 times ive used the resin type stuff you brush and hose into the joints . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
