Poly sand

What happens here

After the polymeric sand has been thoroughly wetted and activated, it is imperative to allow it sufficient time to cure and dry completely. During this critical period, the polymers within the sand will harden, forming a strong, durable, and flexible bond that locks the pavers in place. The video shows parts of the patio still wet and drying, which visually confirms this stage is in progress immediately after wetting. The curing duration can vary significantly based on environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and sunlight exposure, but typically ranges from 12 to 24 hours before the patio can withstand light foot traffic, and longer for full structural strength.

Goal: Allow the polymeric sand to fully harden and stabilize the pavers.
