VUBA Resin Bound Binder – Part A & Part B Hardener
Vuba Resin Bound Binder – Part A & Part B Hardener, are two bottles of liquid resin mixed together with aggregate to form the base material for creating resin bound paving.
Each Resin Kit is 1.625kg and contains 0.930kg of Part A (Resin) and 0.695kg of Part B (Hardener). Each 1.625kg resin kit mixes with 25kg of aggregate to cover 1m2 at 15mm thickness.
Once mixed a chemical reaction begins to take place and care should be taken to install the resin paving within an average 45 minutes. Care should be taken to combine the resinous aggregate mixture and lay it before it has begun to ‘tack off’.
No specialist tools are required to lay the DIY kits, you simply require a plasterer’s style drill and paddle for mixing, a large 25-30 litre bucket, a gauging trowel for scraping out, a flooring trowel for application and hot soapy water and a brush for cleaning your trowel during application.

How to apply VUBA 1m2 DIY Resin Bound Kits:
Sub-Base:
Before application of the 1m2 resin bound kit onto an asphalt or tarmac base, concrete or VubaGrid Cellular Grid, it is important to ensure that the correct sub-base is in place. Your sub-base should be a minimum 150mm depth of well compacted Type 3 granular sub-base to SHW clause 805, or 4/40mm, 4/20mm crushed aggregate to BS EN12620, or alternatively locally available secondary or recycled aggregates which comply with the above specification blinded with 2/6.3mm graded crushed concrete aggregate to BS EN12620.
- Scrape all of the contents of the Hardener B component into the larger Resin A component container into a large bucket, and mix with a slow speed drill (≤ 450RPM) and MR2 paddle mixer attachment for 60-90 seconds. Please note that over mixing will increase heat generation and reduce working time.
- Slowly add the 25kg Aggregate Kit whilst mixing, and mix for approximately 2 minutes until the resin has fully encapsulated the stone.
Application Advice:
- Apply the mix to the sub-base or grid, then finish the surface with a suitable float.
- A Vuba Solvent should be used if required to clean the trowel before applying the final finish to the resin bound surface.
- Ensure that you use close compaction to prevent stones from loosening, spreading and compacting the resin bound material at right angles, applying pressure as the trowel is pulled back.
- If added slip resistance is required, once the resin is placed immediately cast some crushed glass onto the top surface of the wet resin and aggregate, at the rate of approximately 0.1kg/m2. Ensure even coverage to prevent a patchy appearance.
- Allow to cure for 24-48 hours, before walking on the newly laid patio or path.
Further Guidance:
- Mix one bag of material at a time - for exactly the same period of time (60-90 seconds for the resin, 2 minutes there-after to combine the aggregate), consistent mixing times are essential to prevent patchy colouring or shading within your Resin Bound System.
- Ensure that you have all of the 1m2 kits required for your project prior to commencement, and ensure you have sufficient material by marking coverage per mix on the surface. It is imperative to not run short of material for a fully seamless finish.
- Ensure you plan your resin bound project, in suitable weather conditions for both application and curing time, 5 degrees and rising, to a maximum temperature of 20 degrees
