- 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.
Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a village in the Highlands of Scotland. It is located near the western boundary of the Black Isle, about 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of the city of Inverness and also 5 1/2 miles (9 km) south of Dingwall. The town has a population of 2,690 and also sits 35 metres (115 ft) over water level. Named Tarradale up until 1862, traditionally accessibility to the town was limited by the natural obstacles of the River Beauly and the River Conon. This changed in 1814 with the building and construction of the Conon Bridge. Cattle motorists made use of the new paths to transfer animals and markets were established in 1820 near to where the village now lies. In 1835 whisky distilling operations were lawfully provided in the town and also by 1885 the Mill of Ord produced 80,000 royal gallons (360,000 l) per year. The town expanded extensively in the 19th century as a result of the establishment of the distillery and also items industries.
