Default Alternatives to cement for grouting slabs round pond

Tricky Dicky wrote:
The trouble with grouting between slabs is you need a reasonably sloppy
mix in order to get right down into the gap especially if you are talking
about those Indian sandstone pavers with the bevelled edges. If you have
a slight overhang can you not push something thin under the edge of the
slabs or even a bit of PU foam just to stop whatever you are using from
dripping into the water. Once the grout is set it will stay put.

That's what I did originally if I remember (it was many years ago that
I laid the slabs), I stuck masking tape or some such under the
overhang and pointed above.

I just think something with a bit more adhesion than plain cement is
required to 'glue' the slabs together a bit.
