Vuba EASIHOLD ROCKS - 5L XL Gravel Binder for Bonding Stones, Bark and Gravel on Borders, Patios and Garden Paths. Lasts up to 3 Years, Non Toxic, Ready to Use.

Hi, it’s pricey stuff but it works well, its a milky watery glue, I washed my stone first then waited a few days then sprayed this with a hand held spray then I compacted as I went along with a trowel then the next day I used a proper pump spray to finish of and it stuck really well, I have a few that are loose but the majority doesn’t move, so all good 😀

Does what it's supposed to do but I went through x3 different types of sprayers? They kept clogging up?

We have used this before to seal some gravel borders. It works well and stops the stones from coming on to the lawn. Usually takes a couple of applications.

I REALLY wanted this to work (even though I read loads of negative reviews) as the stones in my borders get kicked all the time.I used a sprayer and it was really easy to use but after one go it was stuck at all. I gave them another spray and in some areas it is starting to stick.I will have to do it again but this does mean that the area that a whole bottle uses is tiny! And that’s assuming it works after the third go (I will update this review)My stones are on mud (not concrete) so this means they move about when stood on, so I think if you just want to keep a border in place that has no weight on it then after lots of spraying, it’ll be fine.But if you want a dog to stop moving stones, if they run over them or when you walk over them then I think it won’t work… i will update my review once I’ve done a third spray and see if this suddenly makes a huge differenceEither way, it does not cover a large space and therefore is NOT a cheap option

A very useful product. Easy to apply.

Don't waste your money, absolute useless crap...It looks like a PVA and it doesn't work!Done all by the instructions and not even 1 stone sticking together...Avoid!

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.

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).
