I put polymeric sand around the pavers at my pool. I had powerwashed it previously and everything appeared dry. When I ran the compactor over ith though water started pushing up to the surface. I didn't stop, at that time not knowing what a pain it would be to remove it later. So what is best? Very high pressure power washer, sandblaster? I'm not concerned about removing all of it and strting over if I have to. There is about 1800 sf and probably 400 sf covered, but not in one spot only. Any help would be appreciated.

Try vinegar

Use a steam cleaner, the heat will melt/disolve the polymers on the surface.

Best of luck.

What about club soda? It works on everything else?

Seriously though, can you just flip the pavers over?

Thanks for all of the replies. THere is 1800 sf of patio, so I don't want to flip them. I tried a 3500 psi washer and with the right tip, it worked pretty well. The wrong tip though and I started to tear up the actual paver. If it doesn't work out, I agree about the steam cleaner. It only makes sense since a key ingredient is some type of glue. I'm also going to try the vinegar b4 the power washer in hopes that iut will loosen it up a bit. Alone though, the vinegar did not do much with a stiff brush.

Thanks again.
