Never mind, if you don't know, some one else will tell me.

best time is when its about half as hot as it gets, and is damp. so cool
and damp. cement will set, slowly, wont get washed away by rain, and
slabs wont expand as hot. don't want overnight frosts that will destroy
it before its sets either



Thanks, as I normally or have done it either spring time or maybe
September when needed.

When I have looked up what mix and how much water, all I found was
anything between 4:1 and 3:1, and just enough water so it clags or holds
in your hand. Then trowel it in the gaps, and tamping it down as I go
along. I also us a 'iron' to smooth each joint, then lightly water
afterwards, then leave it dry off
