Mckinnon Stone Bond Epoxy 4 Gallon Kit - Resin Bound Surfacing Epoxy

In this review of the Mckinnon Stone Bond Epoxy 4 Gallon Kit the bottom line is simple: this kit is for homeowners and contractors who want an affordable, weatherproof way to update driveways, patios and walkways without tearing out concrete. The reviewer found the kit delivers strong adhesion and a durable, permeable surface when paired with clean aggregate, and the biggest reason to buy is its combination of long-lasting performance and easy, lowcost installation compared with full replacement. The review covers ease of use, durability, and where the kit fits best.

Key Features

• Transformative style: Applies as a resin bound system that locks stone and pebble aggregate in place for a renewed driveway or patio surface.
• Affordability: Offers a low-cost alternative to replacing concrete, helping users save thousands while refreshing exterior or interior hardscapes.
• High durability: Designed to withstand rain, snow, sleet and temperature extremes for years with minimal maintenance.
• Permeable and SUDS compliant: The Stone Bond system allows water to percolate back into the ground, reducing runoff and meeting sustainable drainage goals.
• Easy application: Requires only a trowel, shovel and mixing bucket, avoiding the need for industrial mixers or specialized equipment.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically with industrial epoxy experience backing the formulation.

Who It's For

This kit suits homeowners, landscapers and small contractors looking to update driveways, porches, pool decks, walkways and stairs without major demolition. It is well matched to projects that use 1/8 in or smaller clean aggregate and where permeability and durability are priorities.

It is less appropriate for users who expect an all in one packaged kit with rock included, or those who need colored decorative flakes or finishes not provided by a resin bound aggregate system. Large commercial paving crews seeking premixed, machine-applied systems may also prefer heavier industrial products.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable weatherproof bond that holds aggregate in place through freeze, thaw and heavy rain.
• Sustainable, permeable finish that reduces surface runoff and supports SUDS goals.
• Cost effective compared with full concrete replacement, with straightforward hand tools required.
• Made in the USA by a manufacturer with industrial epoxy experience.

Cons

• Rock aggregate is not included in the kit, so buyers must source clean 1/8 in or smaller stone separately.
