Commonly deco can be stabilised by mixing in cement at a ratio of around 8:1. (8 Deco : 1 Cement). Stabilizing creates a stronger and more durable finish while still leaving a permeable surface and gritty rustic texture. Cement can alter the colour, so choose wisely. Often an Off White Cement is used to minimise colour change.

This product is recycled, it has some verm material through it. (e.g bits of wire, small timber pieces and other building products). A bit of hen pecking through it as you are spreading it, is necessary. NOTE: It can have a fair bit of brick dust in it due to the crushing process. This generally settles to the bottom over time. This is unavoidable with this product.
