Re: Recomendation Riven Slate
it was wet if i remember (was about 12 yrs ago) i've heard that tip about the sawdust but never needed to try it. i've grouted patio s with a dry mix then then a fine spray of water on it to start curing

Tend to find with the dry mixes they need to be packed down or they drop into the joint when water is applied..
