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

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

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

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

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?!

Why did you choose this product over others?: We really really really hoped this glue would work but unfortunately it didn't... We have Cotswold gravel stones in our back garden as a gravel patio. So the area is larger than just a gravel path. The stones are not rounded and about 10-20mm in size. It could well be that this glue just doesn't work for such big size, but we followed the instructions step by step, used both methods - spray (very generously) and mixing stones with the solution, neither kept the stones in place for long. Oh, we have a solid tamper as part of the garden work, so we did knock the gravel down as solid as we could. Yes initially we did feel the stones sticking together, but once you started walking on them, not kicking them, they started to come loose. And a week later, they just all went their own ways. Not giving this a 1 star as I think this glue could work. But the application is going to be much more specific, such as stone size, shape, dirtiness, how deep the stone layer is, and how much glue is used. The advert made it look like this is a one size fits all solution. It isn't. So be aware. We won't be buying this again, or any other similar spray on/mixture glues. The only thing that can work I think is the permanent rasin that bond all the stones together permanently.

Secures loose gravel / decorative stones perfectly inhibiting new weed growth but allowing rain / moisture to feed plants.

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.

Sadly mine arrived with the container squashed so it was difficult to open and virtually impossible to pour into a spray bottle. Id say around 500ml was lost trying to open it and pour it. It's a nightmare to clean as well...its like silicone once it dries and has left a pale residue stain on my black granite sink... my fault for thinking it would be easy to pour. It blocked our pump so after around 2 metre coverage had to gently pour on instead of spraying. Because of these factors, our 4 litre container only covered around 3 square meters. I still have around 6 metres left to do and was under the impression that 1 container would be enough. I'm certainly not paying for another 2 tubs as its expensive, so the area that's left will just need to have loose stones. The product overall is good though and dried and set quickly and I'd recommend it if it wasn't so expensive. Perhaps be worth buying from a store so you don't end up with a squashed damaged bottle too.

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
