Can I apply VBM over a painted surface? No. Paint acts as a bond break which can cause VBM to not work to its fullest potential. Substrates should be clean and free of dust and other potential bond breakers. For concrete surfaces, sandblasting is recommended to ensure removal of all paint or other potential bond breakers.
Where can I find the Safety Data Sheets of ORCO products? ORCO’s Resources page has an extensive library of all product safety data sheets, organized by product family. Additionally, each individual product page has a corresponding data sheet available for download.
Should you compact bedding sand when laying pavers? No, this is not recommended by the Concrete Masonry & Hardscape Association. The sand should be screeded smooth before placing pavers. Compaction should only occur once the pavers are placed.
