Morning all,
I've just finished laying a Indian sandstone patio - Kandala Grey - It's been stop start over the last 8-9 weeks due to intense rain¬ being at home.
It's been laid of a full bed of cement mixed 5-1 with sharp sand which we mixed by hand each time as we knew we'd not be fast enough to pour loads and lay en mass.
We finished this weekend and all looked good and then we planned to seal it all in this weekend and then grout however, some of our tiles are now developing as per the picture some extremely weird staining that looks to be in the tile.
I've washed down with washing up liquid diluted in hot water and also jet washed it all off, and was pretty sure it would to nothing which it's not.
Which leads me on to my question WTF is happening or has happened, can I fix it and will it go away as I can;t seal them in as it is or it's going to most likely remain in place??
I'm really gutted about this as we've spent so so much time on this as we've never laid a patio before so have literally put hours of hard lab our, sweat and swear words into this project.
