Can I water the area after applying Gravel Glue, or does it block water infiltration?

Although Gravel Glue is designed to be very durable, jet washing can be too harsh for your stones. We suggest using a gentler method, such as a garden hose or warm water, to clean them effectively.
What is the expected duration of Gravel Glue's effectiveness on my stones after application?
When applied on a well-prepared, well-draining surface, it can remain effective for as long as two years. In high-traffic areas, its durability may be reduced. We recommend reapplying annually to keep your stones strong.
