I love the honest video. I have used this for a few customers that requested it and did not have much luck with it. Worked ok at first, but wore off pretty quickly and it is pricey.
@dazeddee8485 If you hired someone to remove and haul away all the rocks around my house to replace them, it would cost far more than what s bottle of glue costs. Before you "call bs" perhaps actually know what you are talking about 😂
@dazeddee8485 I was quoted $2k to remove all of the lava rock and haul it away. I only sprayed the high traffic areas and borders on the rocks, not everything as I mentioned in the video. $2k compared to less than $100 to fix the issue is a no brainer imo. So clearly, you have no clue 😂
@dazeddee8485 That's cool. You don't like it or want to buy it, I could care less. I'm just sharing my experience with it. Accusing me of whining when you are in this thread saying this is a joke is pretty hilarious
1 gallon Titebond II mixed with 2 gallons of super hot water - basically the same thing. may discolor slightly and may have similar sheen issues - test before using widely.
This was very informative. I am at my wit's ends not knowing what to do. I've been intrigued by this"bark glue" I just heard about, but glad to hear about the "cons" you experienced. We live in the Western USA, Rocky Mountains higher-elevation [5000 ft]. My southern-facing rose bushes get VERY hot in the summer and plenty of ice and snow in the winter. Our neighborhood sits near the mouth of a large mountain canyon and we seem to be on a direct flight path of those canyon winds. The breeze is steady year-round, and then we experience at least 2 [or more] BIG wind storms every spring and fall [anywhere betwen 40-55+ mph]. As you can imagine, this does a doozy on our landscaping. Even the continual "breeze" is an issue. The landscaping crew has kept putting down shredded bark around the bushes each spring, that looks great for a handful of days [or hours] then begins to blow into the sidewalks and driveway, down the street, into the grass ... and making its way into the community pool ... it goes everywhere except where it is supposed to be! Nightmare. I told them to stop putting it down. Now we have ugly bare dirt with exposed drip lines, and I am constantly weeding. I just want to make certain I make the right choice for what to use. Should we do rock? What kind, what size? Do I need to put a weed barrier down before I use rocks [would cut out around my rose bushes and ornamental grass ... will they be okay? Or, just put river rock down without a barrier? Should we do a larger, heavier type of bark? With or without a weed barrier? And, how do we keep that from blowing away?! Will this "glue" do the trick in our situation?! Or, would I just need to constantly need to re-apply the expensive glue? ... I still don't know what to do, but it was helpful to see your expert review and become aware of the issues that you encountered, esp. the white discoloration in rain storms. If you or anyone else have any ideas for me, it would be appreciated. Gotta do something this spring.
Wow, that is frustrating fore sure! I would definitely go with a larger grade river rock with a weed barrier underneath it. The weed barrier will help prevent the weeds and the larger rocks will ensure the wind doesn't wreak havoc on your landscaping anymore. Thanks for watching and good luck!
It is pricey and I would not recommend it - I tried the two different versions and it wore off pretty quickly on the rocks and the mulch. It may work for some people, but it personally did not work for me. Thanks for watching!
@@jonsharver2466 This season, Petra released an updated formula specifically designed for rocks. I linked it here if you want to check it out: amzn.to/3UA2GXc
Wow,,,🤔 this gives me an idea to make a slury of clay soil and water real sticky mud, that drys hard, after applied under the rucks that have been pushed into it. Like an adobe mix, with or without the coloring..
I'm sure they will still try to dig, you would probably have to put a few applications on to make it stronger I would imagine. If they work at it, they would likely still be able to get through with their claws I would think. Thanks for watching!
I still have gotten weeds in the beds with this. It will hold the mulch down tight, but it is still water permeable which is likely why the weeds still sprout. Thanks for watching!
Some water based concrete sealers can turn white when wet and did you protect existing concrete from the mulch glue . And will it alter the color of your existing concrete.
This mulch glue had no impact on the concrete, only on the rocks. I will say that I tested their new rock glue this season and it did not turn a weird color on the rocks when it got wet. So they seemed to have solved that issue. Thanks for watching!
The mulch glue dries clear so once it dries it won't give that wet effect that you are looking for, you won't really be able to see it when it dries. Thanka for watching!
I was hoping this product might be what I need, but now I’m not sure. I have a slope that I want to cover with 1 - 2” rocks but need to keep them in place. Any suggestions?
I am interested in using this with gravel that is a mixture of .5' and 1.5". What is the size of your lava rocks? It looks bigger than the gravel I use so I am hoping this would work better with what I use.
I think that the issue with the lava rock is that it was porous - which prevented the glue from holding it together. It worked well since then on some river rock that I have around the house and I have talked to others who have said it works fantastic on pea gravel. Petra did advise that they are planning to release a specially formulated rock glue, but I am not sure when they plan to start selling it.
I have a one foot transition section at end of my driveway where my concrete driveway meets the asphalt road. My builder (9years ago) put down asphalt in this section. Most of this asphalt has washed away. If I were to put pea gravel, etc in this section, would either of these products keep the gravel in place as i drive in and out? Thnx!!
Yeah I find it odd myself. I had someone else message me this after the video. I reached out to Petra and haven't heard back. Seems to me either people bought it out and they have a supply issue or they pulled it to revamp it. Thanks for watching!
Yes, they released an updated version of it after this video. I linked it in the description if the following link isn't clickable. Thanks! amzn.to/429esKZ
@jeremiah1797 The higher strength stuff did hold up quite well on the mulch, not so well on my lava rock. I would recommend it on mulch or smaller gravel, but not larger stones. They said, they told me that they now have rock glue they are sending me to test, but I haven't used it yet.
Just a heads up, your maple is looking a little chlorotic... typically it's an iron deficiency but that's only common in IA where I am. Yours may be another deficiency

What about totebond 3? Wouldnt that be a better use scenario?
Very interesting product I need to give this a shot on my mulch beds to avoid water washing it away
It worked great on the mulch, not so good luck on the lava rocks. I hope it works well for you!

I have always been skeptical of mulch glue. Its pretty pricey for the actual benefit you get from it in ny opinion. Great review 👏

Wonderful honest review. You're a rare find on YT.
Keep up the great reviews Michigan Man 😄
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing the video. I researching what to use on a loose gravel walkway in my front yard, so your video is very helpful.
You're welcome! I hope it helps. Thanks for watching!
Did you find a product for loose rock?

I'm just going to order some Beast Sticky...I have fine "soil pep" mulch as well as pea gravel....Thanks for the great overview and recommendations!
They just rebranded and improved the beest sticky to rock glue max. It works even better! Thanks for watching!
Wow,,,🤔 this gives me an idea to make a slury of clay soil and water real sticky mud, that drys hard, after applied under the rucks that have been pushed into it.
Like an adobe mix, with or without the coloring..
It would probably work better than the mulch glue! Haha
but won't it just wash away in rain or watering?
Well done video, keep up the great work. Awesome job hitting 5k!
Thanks! Will do! Appreciate you watching!
we have squirrels trying to dig up and bury acorns all over in mulch i wonder if this would deter them from digging.
I'm sure they will still try to dig, you would probably have to put a few applications on to make it stronger I would imagine. If they work at it, they would likely still be able to get through with their claws I would think. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review
I have the need fit the beast sticky glue !
Since this video they came out with a stronger version called rock glue. I'm going to try it out soon. Thanks for watching!
I wonder 🤔 ! Could it help with weed control in your flower bed. I have rocks too!
I still have gotten weeds in the beds with this. It will hold the mulch down tight, but it is still water permeable which is likely why the weeds still sprout. Thanks for watching!

I have river rock that's beautiful when wet but blah when dry. Would the Beast product make it look wet as well as hold it down?
The mulch glue dries clear so once it dries it won't give that wet effect that you are looking for, you won't really be able to see it when it dries. Thanka for watching!
I was hoping this product might be what I need, but now I’m not sure. I have a slope that I want to cover with 1 - 2” rocks but need to keep them in place. Any suggestions?
They have since came out with Rock Glue Max that is stronger for small rocks. I have had success with this on small river rock.

Thank you for the honest review, I think I would pass on this stuff since I don't have many areas that wash away. Great video

They actually now make a rock glue specifically for rocks. I'm waiting for mine to arrive to test it!
What about stopping weeds from growing? Does it do that
It won't completely prevent weeds from coming through, I still have had a few pop up, but I do think that it helps limit them. Thanks for watching!
It seems they don't make that Beest Sticky Glue. At least, nobody sells it. I wonder why...
Yeah I find it odd myself. I had someone else message me this after the video. I reached out to Petra and haven't heard back. Seems to me either people bought it out and they have a supply issue or they pulled it to revamp it. Thanks for watching!

Do you live where freeze/thaw exists?
Yes, I live in Northeast Indiana. I haven't noticed any issues with this glue over the winter or during temperature transitions
This stuff is probably Elmer's glue are wood glue
Thanka for watching!
Is it sticky once it dries?
No, once it dries it is not sticky. Thanks for watching!
Great
Thanks for watching!
This stuff worked ok on my mulch, but it faded away quickly.
I will definitely be interested to see how it holds up over the winter and into next spring. Thanks for watching!
