[QUOTE="Lunner, post: 986159, member: 59172"] Wet lay on sand and cement every time, the key is to well compact the type 1, thin layer with a petrol wacker, damping it down will help it to bind together if very dry. Aim for approx 30mm bed, mix sand and cement to a 1:4 mix with sharp sand, mix it tacky, spread it out to approx the right level, fluff it up with your fingers and tap down to level wth a rubber mallet. Use a string line accross the patio, pack it up on a couple of strips of ply, and use one to check back to the slab/tile you are tapping down. IMO, from a groundorks background, you woudl ahve a hard time, especially if you aren't used to it, laying a concrete slab to the tollerances need to make the slabs look good [/QUOTE]
