I just redid my side yard and had gravel put in around the walkway. The loose rocks drove me crazy so I purchased gravel glue - two 32 ounce bottles, along with the applicator. The first time, I screwed up the mix ratio and watered it down. The second bottle, followed the directions on the back and applied it correctly (I think) using their applicator, which I love! I Waited for it to cure and it held and it held well. I was happy. Then we were inundated with rain that lasted for three days. The glue held really well in the large sections of gravel, but not other sections - particularly between the pavers. It was as if I didn’t apply the glue at all. I didn’t understand what I did wrong as I had applied it evenly throughout. I knew that the application needed to be fixed/adjusted, and likely due drainage and moisture. I messaged the company with my questions. After sending them pictures, explaining the water to glue ratio I used, they recommended that, due to the heavy rain we’ve been getting, I try a 1:1 ratio, and apply 2-3 coats. I am going to do that when we are not expecting rain for a day or two. It’ll work - not concerned. Again, it held up in other sections, just not all. As for the glue - here’s a picture following my second application. I do like that it has a color to it when you apply it, but dries clear. The gravel against the house - large sections believe it or not - are the sections that held and the glue is still intact. With the exception of the gutters, there’s no overhang that gives that section shelter - so not sure why there it held, and not everywhere else. Again, I suspect drainage or moisture that may have existed before I applied, but that’s a guess. I would just make sure the area is completely dry, no rain expected for a couple of days, and if you live in an area that is experiencing a lot of rain, thicken the glue and apply 3 coats. Of course, you can always reach out to the company with any questions, and ask for guidance before you start the process. They are responsive and extremely helpful. Also, get their applicator! It’s easy to use and makes the application easier allowing you to evenly distribute it throughout sections. But I do want to give a shoutout to the Petra! I appreciated their responsiveness and their willingness to walk me through the steps, and come up with an alternative solution. A company that is willing to do that, without issue, is a good company to stand behind and support. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Whole bottle was clumpy and unusable Waste of money

We used this product on a small walkway with pavers and small decorative rocks. We followed the instructions carefully, which were actually clearer than many of the other products we considered, so we had high hopes. Unfortunately, the adhesive didn’t perform as expected for our project, and the rocks didn’t hold in place. We eventually ordered a different product with a thicker consistency that worked better for our needs. This product may still work for other applications, but it wasn’t the right fit for ours.

This glue fulfills its function and has good adhesion for landscaping work and decoration with stones. I used it to fix rocks and, once dry, it stands firm. However, drying is not as fast as expected and it is important to apply it carefully to avoid excess product.

Very clever idea works good a little pricey, but it keeps the birds from hauling off my little blue rocks
