Vuba Easihold 5L XL Gravel Binder – Award-Winning Rock Glue for Fixing Pebbles, Stones & Gravel (4–20mm) on Paths, Patios & Borders – Non-Toxic, Ready-to-Use Stone Stabilizer with 3-Year Protection

Review Update - The company reached out to me after reading my review offering to help, they provided me with support and advice, even replacing the bottle of Easihold that i had received. I resprayed the path again according to the instructions and this time all appears well! The gravel has held much better on this occasion, whilst some areas are still a little loose underfoot the majority of the path is now rock solid. I will leave a few more days and re-spray the loose under foot sections. As a result i am much happier with the finished result - time will tell how long it lasts, however you can not fault the customer care from this company, they were quick and responsive offering solutions and support. 5 star service! We have a small gravel path that leads from our decking to the rear of the garden, inlayed with 600x600 slabs. I was fed up with the gravel being kicked around and ending up on the slab path so i looked for solutions. I ordered this product as it looked like it could solve my problem! You get a decent 5l bottle of what i would describe as watered down PVA glue. I followed the instructions to the letter, a liberal spraying, rake, spray again, leave 36hrs and spray again. Initially i was very pleased with the result, the stones seemed to bond well - however around 6 days later we had rain... and this seemed to destroy the bond between the stones - the majority of my path is now loose again! My stones are all under 20mm and the depth is within the range of application. Surely a bit of rain shouldn't destroy the bond?!

So far so good. Applied to "cleaned" pea shingle. As per other reviews it clogs the sprayer very quickly, which is annoying (i didn't want to use my good electric sprayer). My application was pea shingle surrounding paving slabs and i wanted to be able to use a leaf blower in the Autumn to remove leaves without blowing the pea shingle. After two applications the pea shingle are "glued" together and do not move when subjected to a leaf blower. It will be intersting to see it's longevity so I will update in future if any change. Would I recommend it? Yes with reservations ie its difficult to spray and it's expensive.

If you’re reading a negative review from anyone saying that this didn’t work with two coats, ignore it as it’s a three coat system! It clearly says that in the manual. The key is three coats. The first after you’ve cleaned all your stones and they dry, the second after your raked them about a bit, the third after you’ve flattened them all back down; I used the back end of a rake. It gives the stones a bit of a wet look, so consider that if you prefer the dry look of your stones. The price is a bit much, for what it’s, in my opinion, £20 would be more reasonable and probably make it more popular. Use a pump strayer with a nozzle that’s on a hose, so you can get close to the side of patio slabs without coating them. Then leave it to dry for a day or two. It doesn’t set like concrete, so don’t expect it to hold up long if it’s somewhere where people walk all the time or play however, generally it seems good in lower traffic areas and if like us you have gravel that surrounds spaced out slabs that always got kicked about, this helps prevent it.

Did exactly what i bought it for the stones are staying in place I can’t comment how it well it will last over time as ive only just used but first impressions are good

The first one I ordered was not great. It was almost impossible to get the lid off, it was a white lid. When I tried to use a sprayer it kept getting clogged as the liquid was lumpy. As a result I had to order a second one to finish the job. The second one must have been from a different batch. It had a black lid and this time worked perfectly as it said it would.

Seems like an excellent product. Easy to apply, quick setting and easy to clean up

I am very disappointed in this product. I am a chemical engineer with a strong background in polymer chemistry. This product does not work. I used lots of ways to spray the product a watering can with rose it blocked. A pump action sprayer it blocked in the end I used lots of car detailing spray bottles and they blocked as well. The problem is you need to improve your formulation and supply a filtration kit to filter the liquid product to take the large particles that are causing the blockage. I had to buy a lot more product and in the end mix the stone with the product in a cement mixer. Also you need to send a risk assessment with your product. Saying it is an irritant and you should where glasses and chemical grade some gloves .and also what to do if you get the product on your skin or eyes. I would strongly recommend to the HSE that Amazon do not sell this product until these recommendations are done. It is not safe or fit for purpose.

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

Es algo caro pero funciona a medias, no quedan completamente pegadas todas las piedras

Très bien

Werkt perfect en heeft een mooi resultaat

Great product that worked well. But the price more than doubled after a month. Purchased this product in May 2025 for $74.00. Need more went back to do a reorder one month later and the price went up to $174.00 what’s up with that

Application is easy and it lasts well. Drys clear. Very happy with the results
