I have some gravel that has no fine sands or anything it is alot like wash rock but it's gravel, and I want to spray something on it that will set up and hold it togather so when I drive on it it will not just break up again and I can not afford asphalt so any suggestions please will be appreciated. I thought of sealcoating it but will that work, I also have a tank of water based glue could I spray that on and then seal it after that sets up? thanks much. please email me with your replies to [email removed]

Check with your local asphalt co. and see if they handle what is called "RAP" it is recycled asphalt that has been ground up from repair jobs. spread it out over your gravel and rent a rideon roller compactor. on one of these hot days roll it in. I think you would be happy with the results and price.

I agree RAP or Roto-Mill Millings sounds like it would work great. You can also spray a light coat of Css-1 over it, but nothing will compare to asphalt.
