I tried the spray-on method, but it just blocked the sprayer within minutes. I had to resort to the watering can method, but this seemed to deliver too much resin and in a haphazard fashion even though I was careful - missing a little bit of the stones in places, as I was wary of applying too much. I was disappointed. and wished I had gone for the resin-bound method (mixing in a bucket with a paddle), and I will do this next time. In all honesty, I don't think Vuba should even be suggesting sprays or watering cans. Oh, and make sure you mask everything (as I did) if you're brave enough to use a sprayer or watering can. And wear gloves. I took mine off temporarily to try and unblock the sprayer, and got the stuff on one hand. It was annoying as it (obviously) is like superglue. On a separate note, the choice of stones is extremely disappointing. I used Azulado, which looked fantastic when it was all finished. But there's only eight stones available, and some of them are almost identical! Vuba really let themselves down here in a huge way. There should be blues and greens. I would like to see crushed glass. Yes, I know I could buy them separately, but I would prefer buying everything from Vuba, so I know it's cleaned and compatible. In future, I will have to source my own stones, so Vuba are missing potential sales. I think it's a great product which provides a rather stunning look (everyone has commented on this small 4-square metre area I created), but it can really have only one application and as I said, it is let down by choice of stones.
This video only showed the watering can method, which below comments have said isn't the best, and did not use the bucket at all. Surely it cannot be simply poured on, straight from the bucket, or am I being thick?
It's not suitable to withstand vehicle traffic. It lasts 2 years, but can be topped up quite easily and won't need to use as much as the initial project.
Does this work with a Tarmac Repair Kit. Where you replaced dislodged Tarmac with new material, then use EasiBond to secure it. Just enquiring if this would work? Thanks in advance.
Hi Sean, thanks for the excellent video. Would this withstand wheelie bins rolling over it every other week or would we need something more durable? Thanks 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
This method would be perfect when repairing deep washed spots in freshly poured concrete... its most definitely worth a try vs breaking out a bad section...I probably would use the same rocks from the company that sent me my concrete tho.
I have a small path but the stones are 10 mm diam and the trench that has the stones is 20 cm deep. I just want to keep the top layer from moving. Does it work for that?
I’m purchasing a home that has a small gravel driveway that is on a slight grade. Versus having concrete poured, I had thought about using this product to stabilize the gravel to prevent slipping as a temporary solution (roughly 1-2 years of use). What do you recommend?
Hi Isaac, unfortunately on a driveway it wouldn't work. But maybe gravel grids would be a good solution for you. Relatively inexpensive, easy to install and stops the stones from sliding. They are on our website called VubaGrid Cellular Grids. Hope that helps!
Can I use this on my driveway for cars, at the moment it’s stones over hardcore but the stones keep going onto the tarmaced pavement... I’m forever sweeping it
The product in this video is solvent based, but since August 2019 we developed a new formula. Easihold is now non-toxic and non-harmful. It's a water based formula, which we have tested extensively.
I want to replace grass pathways, with stepping stones and potentially this product surrounding them. Must the surface be level, or can you maintain the natural slopes etc.?
Omg how was I not aware this solution was available? 🤦🏽♀️ I am forever putting my stones back in their place after the kids have attacked my garden! My only concern is that I used plastic under them for weed control..... would this still work??
We would recommend using a permeable membrane underneath stones for weed protection - to allow through rainwater etc. If the membrane isn't permeable then we wouldn't recommend applying Easihold, but if it is, then it would be fine!
@@jptully6810 Easihold isn't a surface finish, so it's not a question of if Easihold is slip resistant or not. It creates a thin protective coating over the stones. Whether or not the surface is slip resistant or not will be dependent upon the stones - which will vary in almost every application.
Hello, you cannot drive on stones treated with Easihold. It wouldn't be strong enough. We have resin bound kits which can be used to create a fixed stone surface for driving on.
Hi, I have decorative stone gravel next to my neighbours grass boundary. When the resin has set, will I be be able to blow any grass cuttings off the stones with a blower or soft brush?
No the mud and leaves will work down into set gravel and never be for rid of, then weeds will grow from inside. At least with loose gravel or can be cleaned or dug over
20mm chips yes, to an extent, but efficacy is reduced. On a driveway...no unfortunately. Cannot withstand vehicle traffic. Would need one of our resin bound systems.
Yes, providing that you haven't used too much resin and created a block. It's not like porous concrete made with gravel and cement (I successfully trialled that for a large step), but will still let rain through. If you're going to use the bound method (I would strongly recommend that, see my comment above) then a mix of 2 litres of resin to one 25kg bag of stones is the recommended mix by Vuba. I haven't tried that, yet (and it would seem to me to be too much resin) but that's what they told me to use, and they should know.
@@DANCINGSEABASS as the manufacturer has stated it remains totally permeable then by definition the last place to use it would be a bathroom floor where water is going to permeate through and rot the wood.

Thank you!
is this product available in the USA?
Good Question
Did you find out the Answer...
3 years later... I guess not (sad).
Just found this video and yes it's available in the US and can be purchased on Amazon.
Can you do this with bigger gravel ie beach stone?
Thanks, i love this idea
Brilliant solution for gardens. I will definitely try this one
Thanks Grace! Hope you got on well with your purchase :)
EXCELLENT VIDEO
Thank you for sharing this video.
This video only showed the watering can method, which below comments have said isn't the best, and did not use the bucket at all. Surely it cannot be simply poured on, straight from the bucket, or am I being thick?
Will the rocks stay in place even when driving over it? How long does it last?
It's not suitable to withstand vehicle traffic. It lasts 2 years, but can be topped up quite easily and won't need to use as much as the initial project.
Could this be used on stones which sit on top of a weed membrane in order to deter weed growth?
Hi there, Yes that would be advised to help the weed growth even more!
Is Vuba Resin available in NZ and who are the stokists. Thank you Ray Green.
Can you put gravel over soil and then pour this resin over it?
I have a gravel pathway because there is a french drainage underneath. Will the water be able to drain trough it?
Does this work with a Tarmac Repair Kit. Where you replaced dislodged Tarmac with new material, then use EasiBond to secure it. Just enquiring if this would work?

Hi I’ve used fine aquarium gravel outside path is this pour on resin binder be good to use on fine gravel
Can you put this on pavers also?
What about drainage for a product like this
Hi Sean, thanks for the excellent video. Would this withstand wheelie bins rolling over it every other week or would we need something more durable? Thanks 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
I have the same question. Could this be used for a path for the bins?
This method would be perfect when repairing deep washed spots in freshly poured concrete... its most definitely worth a try vs breaking out a bad section...I probably would use the same rocks from the company that sent me my concrete tho.
Hi Rodney, we have products for repairing concrete. But we wouldn't recommend Easihold for this use! Thanks for the interest!
Can this be used on larger areas, patios?
Can you use a whacker with this?
Really what I was looking for🤓
I have a small path but the stones are 10 mm diam and the trench that has the stones is 20 cm deep. I just want to keep the top layer from moving. Does it work for that?
Hello, 20mm is the upper limit in terms of stone size but it would work yes.
wonder how this responds to freeze thaw heaving
Will this kill grass if it comes into contact with it? Will the stones withstand a power hose once treated?
Does it allow water to pass through ?
Does this work on slate chippings? Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Do we need to put any base soils underneath it%?
You would need a stable base beneath the stones, ideally permeable, for the best finish.

Can I use this on my driveway for cars, at the moment it’s stones over hardcore but the stones keep going onto the tarmaced pavement... I’m forever sweeping it
No, it's only suitable for borders, pathways and patios. Thanks,
Can this be used on driveways?
can easy hold be applied directly on soil ?
Is it toxic? Will it eventually get absorbed by soil? I have plants near the gravel walkway.
The product in this video is solvent based, but since August 2019 we developed a new formula. Easihold is now non-toxic and non-harmful. It's a water based formula, which we have tested extensively.
@@VubaResinProducts what about microplastics?
How hard wearing is this resin and also can you power wash it with out losing the gravel.
I wouldn't do that. Some power washers are very powerful.
I want to replace grass pathways, with stepping stones and potentially this product surrounding them. Must the surface be level, or can you maintain the natural slopes etc.?
Is this available in the United States?
Can you use this on slate

We would recommend using a permeable membrane underneath stones for weed protection - to allow through rainwater etc. If the membrane isn't permeable then we wouldn't recommend applying Easihold, but if it is, then it would be fine!
What’s it like when it’s wet? Is it not slippery?
The aggregate / stone finish still maintains. Easihold creates a thin protective coating over the stones.
Yeah but that doesn’t answer the question?
@@jptully6810 Easihold isn't a surface finish, so it's not a question of if Easihold is slip resistant or not. It creates a thin protective coating over the stones. Whether or not the surface is slip resistant or not will be dependent upon the stones - which will vary in almost every application.
Do you have to have a base lets say 50mm/2" of concrete then the stones so when you put this resin down it will not soak away, im thinking its a yes.
Is this also uv resistance
Will this work on DG?
can I use that on decorative glass stone ???
Did you ever get an answer or have you tried it?
Great presentation however many comments are asking if you can drive/park a vehicle on the set gravel.....can you ?
Hello, you cannot drive on stones treated with Easihold. It wouldn't be strong enough. We have resin bound kits which can be used to create a fixed stone surface for driving on.
Vuba Resin Products ok thanks for the clarification 👍
@@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214 No problem, apologies for the delay in replying.
Very nice,i want to know that if the résine Can solidify with the stones or cookie please ?
I probably wouldnt border your garden with cookies. But thats just me.
@@Djdjduhehshehhrh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This stuff looks just right for what i need. Do you have a price guide available.
Great instructional video
Is this any good for a gravel driveway
Not suitable for a driveway, but we do manufacture a fantastic range of resin bound products for driveways!
Hi, I have decorative stone gravel next to my neighbours grass boundary. When the resin has set, will I be be able to blow any grass cuttings off the stones with a blower or soft brush?

20mm chips yes, to an extent, but efficacy is reduced. On a driveway...no unfortunately. Cannot withstand vehicle traffic. Would need one of our resin bound systems.
What’s price of resin please
Would this be any good on block paving joints to harden the sand to stop the weeds and moss?
Can this be purchased in Ireland ?.
We have a distributor in Ireland. Could you email your details to sales@vubagroup.com, thank you.
Does anyone know if you can spray this over 20mm slate clippings?
Very surprised he isn't wearing gloves.
does this make a path slippy when wet ?
Hi where can I purchase this from ?
Hi Simon, you can purchase this through our website or call us direct on 01482 778897
Is this permeable??
Yes, providing that you haven't used too much resin and created a block. It's not like porous concrete made with gravel and cement (I successfully trialled that for a large step), but will still let rain through. If you're going to use the bound method (I would strongly recommend that, see my comment above) then a mix of 2 litres of resin to one 25kg bag of stones is the recommended mix by Vuba.

How much is binder per tin
In the UK it is just under £40 including VAT! Free Delivery.
Possibly not helped by the booming deer population especially Muntjac Deer which are now found in suburban garden.
Will the water drain through the gravel after applying the resin ?
I wanted to put this on top of weed proofing, is this possible? If not can I use just soil?
We would recommend a weed proofing membrane
Could this product including your stone be used straight over existing tarmac pathway?
I would say so!,used some thing similar a couple of years ago and it’s still holding together.
Hi there. Can rain water get through this?
latin105fm Yes, it remains completely permeable
Hi is this suitable for indoor use? I’m looking to install in a bathroom on a wooden floor.
@@DANCINGSEABASS as the manufacturer has stated it remains totally permeable then by definition the last place to use it would be a bathroom floor where water is going to permeate through and rot the wood.
Wot Viewer Perhaps they want to be able to shower two people at once- one in the bathroom, one in the kitchen beneath...
@@spencerwilton5831 😳😂😂😂😂
Or you could just buy a brush and sweep the gravel back in once in a while.
