About this item
- Handles wide joints. Rated to 1-1/2 in (3.8 cm), which covers the great majority of irregular flagstone and bluestone layouts without a second product.
- ASTM C144 gradation. The particle sizing is the recognized mortar sand standard, which is what lets it pack into a wide joint without bridging or voiding.
- Slate grey, and only slate grey. Alliance did not chase a color range here. Grey reads as a mortar joint against bluestone, slate, and mixed fieldstone, which is what most natural stone patios want.
- Sets down to freezing. Cures above 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), which extends your season on the shoulder months when natural stone work often gets scheduled.
- Rain safe in one hour. On traditional applications, one hour after water activation. Overlay installs need 24 hours.
- 15 year residential limited warranty. Backed directly by Alliance.

Coverage on natural stone swings hard with joint width and depth. The narrow joint figure assumes tight, consistent gaps; the wide joint figure assumes the irregular flagstone layouts most people are actually installing. If your joints are genuinely 1 in or wider across the whole patio, plan on the low end.
Where Gator Eurostone Bond Works
Eurostone Bond is the natural stone specialist in the Alliance jointing line.
- Irregular flagstone patios with variable joint widths
- Bluestone and slate patios, walkways, and pool decks
- Mixed fieldstone and dry laid natural stone
- Cut natural stone with joints wider than a standard paver product can handle
- Overlay applications over existing concrete, using the 24 hour rain safe window
- Natural stone steps and landings
Where Gator Eurostone Bond Should NOT Be Used (Straight From the Manufacturer)
Not recommended for clay pavers. Alliance states this directly.
Do not use on asphalt.
Do not apply to a damp or wet surface. The stone and joints must be dry before you sweep the sand in, or you will stain the surface.
Not suitable for pavers with large voids in the aggregate base. If the bedding underneath has open voids, the sand will keep migrating down and the joint will never hold.
Joints shallower than 1-1/2 in do not have enough depth for the product to lock. Deepen the joint or choose a different system.
