Apply in 5 steps
The sequence
Spray
Make sure the stones or mulch are clean and dry. Spray StoneHold evenly with a pressure sprayer, 15 to 20 cm above the stones. Generously, but without puddles.
Rake
Gently turn the stones with a rake or hand trowel. The binder penetrates deeper and you avoid clumps.
Spray again
Apply a second coat over the whole surface for a stronger bond.
Press
Lightly press the surface flat with a hand trowel. Not too hard, just enough to set the stones.
Wait 24 hours
Leave to dry for at least 24 hours and finish with a last, light coat.
Curing takes 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Keep children and pets off until the surface is dry.
