Resin Bonded aggregates create a stunning, low-maintenance gravel finish by firmly attaching loose stones to a hard surface using a durable resin. This method provides the appearance of traditional gravel without the associated shifting and maintenance.

The key to a successful Resin Bonded surface lies in thorough preparation. Start by ensuring the base is stable, clean, and free of any loose material, oils, or debris. This creates an optimal surface for resin application.

Preparation involves cleaning the base surface, sealing it to prevent moisture ingress, and then mixing and applying the resin and aggregates according to specific guidelines to ensure a strong bond and an even finish.

The resin should be mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually involving the combination of resin with a hardener in a specific ratio, ensuring a consistent mixture ready for application.

Using washed and dried aggregates is crucial for achieving a strong bond and a uniform appearance. Moisture in the aggregates can affect the curing of the resin and the overall finish of the surface.

An ideal base for Resin Bonding is one that's solid, such as concrete or asphalt. The surface needs to be flat, clean, and free of any defects to ensure a smooth application and durable finish.

For a successful application, evenly spread the mixed resin over the prepared base and then scatter the aggregate over the resin before it sets. Ensure even coverage for a uniform appearance. Work in manageable sections to maintain control over the application.

Common issues include insufficient or uneven resin application, moisture presence during application, or applying aggregates too thickly, which can prevent proper bonding and lead to an uneven surface.
