Step 1: Prepare the Area
First, make sure the surface to which it will be applied is clean and level.
Step 2: Lay the Base
Resin-bound surfaces need a good stable base, and this is usually achieved by laying a base (either crushed stone or concrete/concrete base) and topping it with the final layer.
Step 3: Mix the Resin and Aggregates
Finally, mix with your chosen blend of Daltex aggregate to produce the final resin-bound surface that resin users know and adore.
Step 4: Spread Evenly
Pour it over the prepared area and level it out with a trowel. Make sure your thickness is even to not effect the finish.
Step 5: Allow to Cure
Lastly, allow the resin-bound surface to set for one to three days then cure it for 24-48 hours prior to use.
