- 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.
Winchelsea
Winchelsea is a town in the non-metropolitan region of East Sussex, within the historical region of Sussex, England, located in between the High Weald as well as the Romney Marsh, about 2 miles (3.2 km) southern west of Rye and 7 miles (11 km) north eastern of Hastings. The town depends on the site of a middle ages community, founded in 1288, to change an earlier town of the same name, sometimes referred to as Old Winchelsea, which was shed to seaside erosion. The town becomes part of the civil parish of Icklesham. It is declared by some locals that the town is in reality the smallest community in Britain, as there is a mayor as well as firm in Winchelsea, but that insurance claim is contested by locations such as Fordwich. The mayor of Winchelsea is selected yearly from amongst the participants of the firm, that are called freemen, instead of being elected by public ballot. New freemen are themselves picked by existing members of the corporation. Thus, in its present type, the firm is efficiently a relic of Winchelsea's days as a 'rotten district' (when Winchelsea elected 2 MPs but the variety of citizens was restricted to regarding a lots, sometimes less). The company lost its staying civil and also judicial powers in 1886 however was preserved as a charity by an Act of Parliament to preserve the subscription of the Cinque Port Confederation. The mayor and corporation in Winchelsea currently have a mainly ritualistic role, together with responsibility for the recurring care and maintenance of the major provided ancient monuments in the community and also the Winchelsea gallery. Winchelsea makes up neither a local government district, civil parish nor charter trustees location.
