| Hi there,
We have a brick paver walkway that needs something swept between the pavers and my reading suggested that we use stone dust. My husband picked up stone dust yesterday at a local garden shop but it has stones that are about 1/8-1/4 inch big along with the dust. This surprised me. I was expecting it to be small like sand itself. So, I'm confused if I should return it and use sand or is there finer stone dust available? (Not at this place). Local Home Depot had only sand and no stone dust. So the questions are:
On a side note, has anyone hear of SandLock one place advertised? We're in Masschusetts, North/West of Boston. Any suggestions of what types of stores to look for this stuff is also helpful. Thanks. |

| Stone dust is the product you describe, it is also known as screening and some other names and the granules, if that is the right word, vary just as you say. Sand particles do not vary and are more consistent, dry sand or kiln sand will be easy to brush into your joints and just as easy to brush out or be pushed out by ants. SandLock sounds like a polymer sand. |
