Vuba EASIHOLD ROCKS - 5L XL Gravel Binder for Bonding Stones, Bark and Gravel on Borders, Patios and Garden Paths. Lasts up to 3 Years, Non Toxic, Ready to Use.

This stuff is brilliant, dried within the hour, 2 coats and my stones are stuck, 10/10

I have a small area on my deck that i filled with decorative stones that i purchased from B&Q. The size of the stones varies from 8mm to 18mm. As the area is small, in the region of 1.5m x 1m and the coverage is 1 litre for 1 square meter i though i have ample product for many coats so it may work.Note: i don't wish to work to walk on this area, i just want to stop my kids from picking up the stones and also to make cleanup easier. Basically i want to use my blower to blow off any leaves and pine needles.So, i have nothing in my favour! the stones are two large, not the correct shape and not washed etc.The Resuls:Prep work: Washed 4 bags - 80+ kg and let them dry for a week.1st coat: After applying the first coat (1.5 litres, with a spray bottle) and waiting 24 hours many of the stones were loose and it was crap! the area was covered with plastic to stop dirt/leaves getting stuck.2nd coat: Applied another 1 litre and waited another 24 hours. Again area was covered, and it wasn't much better.At this point i was thinking of scrapping the idea and returning the product. Covered the area again and carried on with life.3rd coat: Went back a few days later and i could see an improvement as the stones have bonded much better! At this point i applied another 1 litre but focused on area's of loose stone and covered again.Came back a few days later and removed the covering. The results are very good.In total it took 3.5 litres + 7 days. I would wait at least 48 hours between coats and use a spray bottle for best results.My Opinion: its done what i wanted, and looks good. Although i don't wish to walk on this area and its purely decorative, i did stand on it and it feels solid! i have been over the area with my blower and brush and the stones didn't move. Once the Shed arrives i will finish off the deck and remove the T&G boards.Now i have another area i would like to tackle but its 8 square meter, if VUBA want to give me another tub i am more than happy to buy the gravel.If this worked on gravel i purchased from B&Q (Blooma White Spar) it will most likely work on anything else up to 20mm.Thank you

Hi, it’s pricey stuff but it works well, its a milky watery glue, I washed my stone first then waited a few days then sprayed this with a hand held spray then I compacted as I went along with a trowel then the next day I used a proper pump spray to finish of and it stuck really well, I have a few that are loose but the majority doesn’t move, so all good 😀

I saw this on Instagram. I said I will give a go ! After 3 months since we did it the stones moving around and not holding all together as they said they will should. It's definitely worth to try it as looks so good but I believe next year we will need to find new resolution.Thank you

This stuff is amazing I had my garden done and amongst other things I have gravel which is a magnetic for small children who just have to pick it up plus the fact that it was shuffling about under foot. I reviewed all that was available and decided on this one. I'm so pleased I did . Easy to use with watering can already mixed ready what it there not to like. Applied it in the afternoon walked away and forgot about it and that evening I thought I'll just see how it's going.... rock hard no loose gravel brilliant I will definitely be buying more of the same as I've decided to have fake plants in pots and once arranged I'll top them with gravel and spray with the binder. Can't recommend it enough I can assure you if it was rubbish I would tell you so. I read review after review to choose and finally selected the best so you don't have too.

I will update this in time, but based on applying this today I have given 3 stars. I applied using a sprayer normal garden pressure sprayer which was described in the advert as acceptable to use, this was a pain the sprayer would last around 10 seconds before having to be striped down to clear the blocked filter throughout use a plastic type substance blocks the filter from within the liquid so a 8 square meter area took close to an hour to do.The suggested coverage was about half stated which was really annoying as 1 tub should have been enough to give the area 2 coats but no, as the sprayer has no flow control the 5 litres only covered around 8 Square metersI will up date once dry to see how effective it isNow its been down for a day you can see the difference in colour many asked if it's a wet look which it isn't but it definitely changes the colour, the first picture is treated gravel the second is the dry natural colour much lighter than the treatedUpdate 6 days after being applied,absolute garbage, the area treated as per manufacturers directions has been left untouched for 6 days plenty more than the 48 hours directed, the weather has been warm and dry with one rain shower on day 5, day 6 my twin girls aged 17 months were playing in the garden and on occasion ventured onto the gravel to retrieve balls, the 4 close pictures shows what this has done, all the lighter areas are where the bond has broken and reverted back to loose gravel. It clearly states not suitable for vehicle traffic or regular heavy duty traffic, 2 toddlers on the first day of use hardly constitutes this, this should clearly state decorative purpose only, not fit for purpose.

I put potting grit between my my patio slabs and sprayed with this in an attempt to prevent my annual backbreaking weedathon. I could not be happier! Three years on and I have just had an occasional tough weed to deal with. Even better, I have just jet washed said patio and the grit never moved! I honestly expected it all to come up but no, just a small hole in a couple of places where the tough weeds had got through. I've ordered more so I can can redo the bits that I'm assuming I didn't cover thoroughly as everywhere else is perfect. The only thing I will add is that if you get it on the slabs it will mark. My patio is ancient so I didn't care but I wouldn't advise for this use if you do.
