Anyway - - new problem... After putting the sand down and painstakingly brushing off each stone.. there is still a haze on the stones from the polymeric sand. Has anyone had this happen before? Is there a way to clean it?

Depending on the coloring after cleaning, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a wet-look sealer. I really like the color of the stones when they are wet - but I am not sure if thats the way to go.

Here are some pics.
Here is the completed walkway - showing Haze

Here is another view of the completed walkway

Here is a picture of putting them down. You can see the difference in the color.

And Lastly.. here is a pic of what they look like wet - what do you think? Maybe once the dust is off them I will not feel the need to seal.. ???

I do not think that theres any actual glue on the stones its more of a dust - but no matter how much we brush it off it doesn't look like before..

Thanks in Advance!

- I had consulted with someone who had done this with about the same amt of joints over a year ago and they had no problems with the wide joints. I had also contacted the comapny to find out about wide joints and it has worked very well and has hardened.

- There is no actual sand on the stones that have stuck on there. Its just very dusty - It does sweep off a little. Not sure if it will go back to normal but my dh wanted me to wait a few days since we just applied the last layer of sand.

- I also read something about the vinegar and we will be trying that out this week to see. I'll let you know if it does anything.

Thanks again for taking the time :-)

As far as a sealer, I have used "Enhance and Seal" from Lowe's. I plan on spraying it on. It does a great job of darkening and sealing the stones (and sand). The problem is I did a test rock with some haze left on it... it will NOT hide the haze... so you'll need to get it off ahead of time!
