Vuba Easihold 2L Gravel Binder – Rock, Stone Adhesive & Mulch Glue, Dual Bond Tech Ready-to-Use, Pea Gravel & Bark Stabiliser for Landscaping Paths, Patios & Borders 5m² Coverage, 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?!

Short review: expensive for what it is. I needed to apply two coats. But it does seem to work where other products have failed.Detailed review: we have decorative gravel borders at the front of the house. Unfortunately neighbours’ cats use this area as an extended litter tray. I am out there every few days scraping the stuff up and it isn’t a pleasant task. Plus I have had to throw away more and more of the gravel over time. I tried numerous cat repellent products, none of it worked, even the ‘extra strength’ compound that smelt nearly as bad as the stuff it was supposed to prevent.Because I’d had to throw so much gravel away, I had it all relaid and was determined not to go through the same cycle again so tried the Vuba solution.Firstly, I think this is very expensive for what it is. A 5 litre drum costs £50, I bet it doesn’t cost them anything like £10 a litre to manufacture. It comes ready to apply, no need to dilute it or anything like that. I used a simple hand-pump garden sprayer to apply, followed the instructions, it was easy to use. No nasty solvent/chemical smell and it was easy to wash off my hands afterwards. Applied first coat in dry conditions, waited 24 hours, it didn’t seem to completely hold, some of the gravel was still loose (this may be because the gravel borders are deep in places). Gave it a second application, waited another 24 hours and this seemed to do it, really strong hold on the shingle this time. It dries with a nice sort of matt varnish effect.It has now been down for a week and it has done the trick, it has bonded the shingle so we’ll that it is solid and now can’t be dug up by the cats and there has not been any mess at all to clear up. Just what I was after. It only remains to be seen how long it lasts when exposed to weather over the course of the year (not sure how it will hold up to baking sun, rain, frost etc but we will see).

Did a brilliant job, we used to bind golden gravel between paving slabs. Very easy to use and apply, didn't do all areas as we expected so will need to order additional binder

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.

I was really hopeful of this product but overall dissapointed.The good - Fairly straightforward instructions and links provided to YouTube instructional video. Also fairly easy to apply however it has now clogged and ruined my weed/paint spray bottle.The Bad - Despite following instructions to the T. It hasn't worked on my bark mulch. It did appear to hold a little but even roughly running your hand over the top after 3/4 days, most of it came loose and moved.It also rained about a week after application and it looks horrible for days after getting wet. Very slimey looking with a white film over the top. I can only describe it as looking like slug slime or PVA. See the attached photo.Overall, I wouldn't recommend. Personally, I feel I now need to dig it up and get rid of it all which has resulted in it being quite a costly experiment.

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.

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

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.

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

Très bien

Conforme à la description. Aspergé sur les cailloux décoratifs de la terrasse et sur les jardinières . Il restent bien collés. Je ne recommande pas pour une allée en cailloux ou pour des galets ( trop grand).

Werkt perfect en heeft een mooi resultaat
