Has anyone experiance of resin bonded gravel drives. This year I'll be

house, so wondered if resin bonded shingle would be the way to go. Is
it possible to DIY or how's it done?

I remember quite some years ago admiring someone's path and drive that
had some sort of bonded pea shingle. He said it was shortly to be
replaced with something else because it was like an ice rink when wet.
Hopefully the resin you refer to is not so slippery or will not reach
the upper surface of the shingle.

But might it be that the path was slippery,not because of the resin
,but because the pea shingle was " fixed" whereas if it was loose then
it would "give" as you walked on it and you wouldn't slip.
