FAQs

While both are high-strength structural adhesives, SB-10 Paver Bond is known for its faster setup and ability to adhere well to damp or frozen substrates, making it ideal for extreme conditions and jobs requiring quick turnaround. The choice between SB-10 and SB-12 often comes down to the required setup speed, temperature range during application, and project specifications.

Removing the adhesive typically requires mechanical removal. Since the adhesive is structural grade and cures rigidly, you will often need to use a reciprocating saw blade to cut through the hardened adhesive joint between the paver and the surrounding blocks. The remaining adhesive residue on the block face can then be carefully scraped or chipped away before replacing the paver.

The curing time for Surebond sealers is highly dependent on environmental factors. Under ideal conditions (e.g., 65∘F–85∘F at 50% relative humidity), the surface is dry to the touch within 60 minutes. However, low surface/air temperatures and high relative humidity will significantly extend dry times, potentially requiring days before the surface can be subjected to foot traffic or water.

Yes, many Surebond sealers are formulated for both horizontal and vertical hardscape applications, including retaining walls, columns, and stone veneers. For vertical applications, the sealer helps prevent moisture penetration, freeze-thaw damage, and organic staining. Always ensure the specific product chosen is rated for the material (concrete, natural stone, or brick) and the application orientation.
