Hubby did ours he used ratio of 3 to 1 and he says preferably wet mix, hope this helps

I read this and thought you wanted to know how to get your flag to point out nicely from it's pole.

Doh.:(

Re: pointing flags in you garden
 

Best way to do it IMO is to mix accordingly (3 to 1) heap it on to the flags and use a brush to spread it in to the spaces and then go over it with a watering can, not too much water but enough that you get all the pointing moist.

Me too! I thought we were back on to the whole British patriotism stuff again.

Re: pointing flags in you garden
 

That sounds a lot quicker than pointing with a wet mix.

They're paving slabs, not flags. bloody northerners!

I have genuine sand stone flags :p in my back yard. Some b*****d concreted over them though.

Re: pointing flags in you garden
 

hmmm, I wouldn't be too pleased about that either

Re: pointing flags in you garden
 

I'd never heard them called flags until i went to skeggy

Re: pointing flags in you garden

Re: pointing flags in you garden
