- Prepare the base If you want your resin bound driveway to last a long time, you need to ensure that you prepare the base properly. Remove any block paving, grass or soil and dig down until you hit solid ground. Lay a sub-base of asphalt for good permeability. If you’re laying over the top of your current driveway, make sure that all cracks are increased into a ‘v’ shape with a saw and ensure the surface is dry and weed-free.
- Mix the resin You must follow the instructions on the materials you have to the letter if you want the curing process to work. Usually batches come in ‘Part A’ and ‘Part B’. Keep the resin container secure and on a protective surface to avoid splashing, then mix Part A for 10-20 seconds at a slow speed with a helical bladed mixer. Add Part B and mix thoroughly at a slow speed for about 2 minutes until it’s blended together.
- Mix the dried aggregates and sand with the resin Place a quarter of the aggregates into a mixer, then add the pre-mixed resin and start a stopwatch. You should then add the rest of the aggregates before slowly adding the sand. When you’re happy with that mix, stop the stopwatch. That time is the time that you need to spend mixing any other resin and aggregates to avoid colour variation.
- Lay the mix on the surface Transfer the mix to the work area then plan a laying route. When the mix is laid out, use a very clean trowel to spread the mix. Clean it regularly during the process to avoid dragging aggregates out of place. Once the aggregates stop moving in a fluid movement and become solid, stop trowelling. Then you can polish the surface to give it an attractive shine.
Laurencekirk
Laurencekirk is a small town in the historical area of Kincardineshire, Scotland, simply off the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen main road, which bypassed it in 1985. It is provided as part of Aberdeenshire. It is the biggest settlement in the Howe o' the Mearns area as well as houses the neighborhood high school; Mearns Academy, which was awarded the Charter Mark in 2003. Its old name was Conveth, an anglification of the Gaelic Coinmheadh, referring to a commitment to provide free food as well as board to passing troops. Laurencekirk remains in the valley in between the Hill of Garvock and also the Cairn O' Mount. The well-known site of the Johnston Tower can be seen on the top of the Garvock. Laurencekirk was, in the past, understood for making snuff boxes with a special sort of airtight hinge (known as a "Laurencekirk joint") invented by James Sandy. Laurencekirk Golf Club (currently obsolete) first appeared in the early 1900s. The club shut at the time of WW2. Lewis Grassic Gibbon wrote much about The Mearns and the bordering location in his publication Sunset Song. A homage centre can be checked out at Arbuthnott a few miles from Laurencekirk. Fred Urquhart worked with the land at Laurencekirk in the 2nd World War, as well as his short stories make use of his monitorings of rural life here.
