  1. Thanks for your suggestions guys, really appreciate them! I'll give them a bash and see what happens. Thanks again!
  2. Hi guys, Hope you're all well. I'm new here and searching for some advice and found this to be the best place so I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me out. Recently, during lockdown etc. I've decided to do my patio at home with Kandla Grey Indian Sandstone. I found it helped me during lockdown and took my mind off everything (I had some personal issues to deal with and lockdown really didn't help at all.) I'm not scared of labour at all and found it really interesting. I learnt a lot. I've never done anything like this before but I studied a lot of videos and asked a lot of questions to people I know that are in the trade. I thought why not give it a bash myself and off I went. I have done everything correctly. I dug out, laid a membrane, hardcore, vibrator plate etc. so it's all okay in that sense. I laid the flags on a full bed as advised and I was really pleased with the patio, it looked great. However, before I came to seal it, I decided to clean it just once more before applying the sealer. To do this, I stupidly used brick acid which I now know is a big no no (sorry!). This has caused what I've found from research, rust to appear on the flags. I cannot get them to shift at all. I've tried everything, bleach, washing up liquid, all sorts! The only product that I have found does help is the following: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Owatrol-Net-Tr ... 8983&psc=1 The Net-Trol appeared to help and I thought great so decided to buy some more to do the rest with it. Before I got some more, the stains started to reappear. I tried again with the Net-Trol but again, they just seem to come back. Is this because I am not sealing them immediately after? Anyway, do you guys have any suggestions? Have you had this before and if so, what can I do to get rid of them? I'm absolutely gutted as I worked hard on this and was really proud of it but now I'm annoyed with myself for using brick acid on them and ruining them. I'll post some pictures so you guys can advise. Any help is greatly appreciated so thank you in advance!
