Thinking about doing a resin bound path myself, how difficult is it?
I've been thinking about replacing the gravel path in my garden with a resin bound surface. I've only got a smallish path, maybe 15-20 meters long, and I'm quite handy, so I'm debating doing it myself instead of hiring someone. For those who've tackled resin bound projects themselves, how difficult was it really? Was it a massive undertaking, or more of a meticulous but manageable task? I'd appreciate any firsthand accounts regarding the complexity and time commitment involved for a DIYer.

Doing a resin bound path yourself is definitely achievable for a handy person, but it requires careful preparation and attention to detail. It's not necessarily "hard," but it's very time-sensitive because once the resin starts to cure, you can't really go back. My brother-in-law did his own Resin Driveway last year, and he said the key was having all the materials ready and a smooth, level sub-base prepared beforehand. He stressed the importance of mixing the resin and aggregate thoroughly and then working quickly to spread and compact it evenly. For a path, you probably won't need a huge mixer, but consistency in your technique is crucial for a professional look and a durable finish on your Resin Driveway.
