- 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.

Llanybydder is a market community as well as area straddling the River Teifi in Carmarthenshire, West Wales. At the 2011 Census, the population of the community was 1,638, an increase from 1,423 at the 2001 Census. The name might be a corruption of 'Llanbedr', the church dedicated to St Peter; or of 'Llanybyddair', the church of the Ambuscade. Llanybydder lies around 5 miles (8 km) southwest of Lampeter and also the College of Wales Trinity Saint David. The Mynydd Llanllwni (408 m) as well as Mynydd Pencarreg (415 m) hills are respectively situated to the south and also east of Llanybydder. Llanybydder is notable for the equine fairs held there on the last Thursday of every month. These attract dealers and purchasers from all parts of the UK as well as Ireland. The largest are kept in September and October. Of certain interest are the sales of local Welsh cobs.
