This is a great product. Jyust make sure you follow the directions!1. Pressure wash your pavers, including in between the cracks.2. Make sure you wash away the sediment from the pressure wash. If you have weeds, spray the cracks with weed killer. (even if the pressure washer took away the weeds, just pretend the root still exists and spray the cracks with weed killer after waiting 2 hours (so the water can drain away).3. Make sure the pavers are COMPLETELY DRY. (I waited 24 hours with no rain). Just because your pavers "look dry" does not mean they ARE. Trust me - WAIT 24 hours!4. The next day, in the morning, make sure there is no rain in the forecast. Scoop a 24 ounce pile of sand onto the pavers. Using an outdoor push broom, sweep the sand into the cracks. Do this diagonally! Do not brush the sand into the cracks vertically.5. VERY IMPORTANT - Make sure you sweep ALL the sand OFF the paver and INOT the cracks. DO NOT LEAVE ANY SAND ON THE PAVER!6. When done, use your hose and spray down the pavers - start from the top and spray to the bottom - following the line of water you are creating. You goal here is to wash away the SURFACE sand / dust that might still be on the surface of the paver and get the cracks very wet too. Water will drain down into the cracks with any sand residue. That is what you want. The water will "activate" the sand and start to harden it. At first, it will start like wet sand from the beach - very clumpy. (dont bother trying to sweep the wet sand - it will be a mess). *IF* you noticed an area where there was sand still on the paver, use a metal putty knife (for drywalling) and scrape it off. Also if you see problems in the cracks (sand piled up, not smooth, too much sand), you can use your finger, a flat head screw driver, the metal putty knife to smooth it out and make it look good. Within 30 minutes, the sand will get a consistency of paste. This is the drying and activation process and is completely normal. After 1-2 hours, the sand will start to harden. Again completely normal. You are now done for the day, and you should wait another 24 hours to the driveway to completely dry.7. Next day. (if you live in a hot zone, do this process around 4pm. If you dont, you can start in the morning.). Get your favorite paver sealer. I used a wet look sealer and only did one coat. If you want a true wet look, you will need TWO coats of "wet look" sealer (allowing 2 hours of dry time between the 1st and 2nd coat). If you want a satin look, only use one coat of "wet look" sealer. I also used a "solvent based" sealer, not a "water based". Why? For me, solvent base just lasts longer - 5 years. Water based only lasts 2 years. Anyway, I use a roller and roll on the sealer. Some people use a pump spray and spray it on, others use a pump spray, spray it on, then follow behind with a roller to ensure even application. I just use a roller. I have a large driveway - 22 foot by 40 foot. (side note: This bag of sand covered the entire driveway) . Start at the top, and just like the sand, roll on the sealer (using a paint roller tray) diagonally. You goal is to ensure an even coat/coverage across the pavers AND the cracks. I need 6 gallons of my sealer to cover my 22x40 foot driveway for one coat. When you are done, you will need to stake your area off so people/car don't go on it, clean your pump sprayer with mineral spirits (unless you want to buy a new one), or remove your roller cover from the roller frame and toss it (if the roller cover dries to the roller frame - you will need to throw away your roller frame too).8. note: anything that is on your driveway when you seal it - if it dries - will be there permanently. So make sure you pick up any stray leaves or debris as you roll.9. Let the pavers dry (and cure). You need 2 days before you can park your car on the pavers. You can walk on the pavers after 5 hours though.10. Remove the "keep off" stakes and enjoy your freshly sealed pavers!

This works great in areas 1/4” or larger. It did not work well in the fine cracks in my driveway.

I followed the instructions to the letter. I made sure it hadn't not rained an over week the pavers are dry. Sweep and blowed making sure there is no dirt or debris. I checked several hours later it seemed to have worked it hardened and I was happy. One week later we get rain it is now like loose play sand and ants have built their mounds between the pavers again because it doesn't work if it rains.

I added a small walkway to an existing patio. The patio already had polymer sand in place so I wanted to match the original patio when finishing the walkway. This polymer sand worked perfectly and is quite solid. The product is very easy to use. No problems with anything and I had no extra sand left over so the 20lb bag was perfect for the walkway.

Even though this was my first time using polymeric sand to fill in the holes that have developed on my stone patio, Rhino Power Bond Plus polymeric sand and its instructions made it simple. And the result looks beautiful. Add to that that this company's customer service is second to none. I quickly received detailed responses to my questions so that I could move forward with the project. Wish I'd done this myself years ago instead of paying the professionals a lot of money.

This product falls short. Though it is just as easy to work with as the other major manufacturer, it does not last as long. I followed the directions to the letter. Everywhere I've used it on my walkways is washing away with each rainfall. It has only been in place for roughly a month and I estimate about 10 to 20 percent has eroded. The other manufacturer's product which I've in other areas of my property several months ago still looks like day 1 of istallation.

Love how the beige looks with the reclaimed brick. Looks like it's been there forever! Spreads easily, sweeps into all the little crevices, after dampening, hardens like cement. I love this stuff!

I used this product on a section of a paved area. The product did not harden as claimed.
