I've seen this mentioned in a few threads but no threads specifically about this stuff. Any one using it? Seems its not really intended for standard joint gapped pavers, maybe more for permeable pavers or stone pavers with bigger gaps? I'd like to try it with these stone pavers we are installing that are 1 1-4" thick and will have custom gapped joints. Any advice welcome..

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? (You gotta be 40 or older to get that one) Starting this project. The supplier is willing to let me experiment at the store with a few pavers.
The pavers alone cost $15,000 for this project, and the Easy Joint if I use it is another $1200 bucks....so I don't want to mess with this product unnecessarily...but it looks handy and has good reviews...
 
I used it on a job last spring. Easy to use but expensive on the natural flagstone. The biggest plus for us was that it needs to be wet to apply and with the weather at the time we couldn't get enough dry days in a row to use poly sand. Most joints were .5 to 1.5 inches wide and 2 inch thick.

Thanks!
Yeah if we are lucky we get 6 months of dry weather, and often it can take weeks for pavers to dry out enough for poly sand if they are in the shade. I've just reverted to using standard concrete sand for pavers. But there is something to having a rock hard but somewhat flexible joint for pavers that I like. This stuff is appealing because it can be applied rain or shine.
Have you been back to that jobsite since you finished to see how everything held up?
 
Been back several times to do other projects there and it looks as good as the day we finished. One thing I forgot about was this stuff takes 3-4 days to set up in non-freezing but cool weather.
