What kind of sand is best for dry joints
I am laying bricks on an old concrete patio slab. Do I need to leave a space
between bricks in both directions? 1/8", 1/16", or, can I just abut them? What kind of sand is used for dry joints? I tried "concrete sand" but it is too rough and has large, irregular particles. Thank you -- Walter www.rationality.net - |
