- 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.
Aberaeron
Aberaeron is a seaside resort town in Ceredigion, Wales. It is situated between Aberystwyth and Cardigan, and is home to the headquarters of Ceredigion County Council. At the 2001 census, the number of inhabitants was 1422. The town derives its name from the Welsh which means 'mouth of the River Aeron'.
Rev. Alban Thomas Jones Gwynne planned and developed the town in 1805. He built a harbour that operated as a port and supported the shipbuilding industry in the 19th century. A group of workmen's houses and a school were also built on the harbour's north side, but these have since been reclaimed by the sea.
Craftspeople inhabited Aberaeron even before it became an operating port. In 1830, there were bootmakers, bakers and carpenters to name a few.
Aberaeron has unusual architecture. Edward Haycock constructed it around a principle square of Regency buildings grouped around the harbour. Some of the architecture has been included on British postage stamps.
A notable feature of Aberaeron is Castell Cadwgan. It was a 12th-century ringwork fortification which was by the shore, but the sea has since claimed it. Some parts of the enclosure bank are still visible.
