Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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.
