- 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.
West Linton
West Linton is a village as well as civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was previously in the region of Peeblesshire, yet considering that city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is currently part of Scottish Borders. A lot of its residents are commuters, owing to the village's distance to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north eastern. West Linton has a long history, and holds a yearly traditional festival called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of old beginning. Its name originates from a Celtic element (cognate with the contemporary Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and also modern Welsh "Llyn") indicating a lake or pool, a pool in a river, or a channel (as in Loch Linnhe, part of which is called An Linne Dhubh, the black pool, or Dublin, an Anglicisation of dubh as well as linn, implying black pool) as well as the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "hullabaloo"), for a citadel, strengthened place, or military camp (pertaining to the modern English community, by way of the Saxon "tun", a ranch or collection of dwellings), and is obviously appropriate, as the village shows up to have been bordered by lakes, swimming pools and marshes. At one time it was referred to as Lyntoun Roderyck, identified possibly with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose area included this location, or with a local chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic version of the name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic kind of Roderick. The prefix "West" was gotten several centuries later on to make clear the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
