Well my main question is related to those loose chippings. The base which is effectively a gritty mortar slab links my house to pavement. Resin over coating was the best thing I could think of to stop these chippings coming loose. Rain and moss is wearing down this mortar year by year. A thin...

Did you mean won't last due to the surface I have, the thickness or generally resin coatings are not long lasting?

Chisel wasn't sharp to start with really. Amazon purchase. Around 70% good reviews. Assumed they don't design them to cut salad. It's a retaining wall leaning out on top, towards the last 2 or 3m with vertical cracks in two places. I dug out he soild behind the wall. I've rebuilt 1m2 section...

SDS drill sounds possible. Wonder if cheaper one for £60 would be effective or bits would just go blunt. Maybe tricky to hold drill and pieces of slab?

Been using a 2" chisel and lump hammer. Apart from wearing down knuckles, chisel doesn't stay sharp for long. Its pretty blunt after doing 1m section. Also mortar doesn't always come off in one piece and there are places mortar is a mound with no leverage. Will take days to bust the mortar this...

I've got a stone wall 2.5ft high and 4m long to pull down and rebuild but I need to work with the existing chunks. They are 50mm concrete slabs broken up. Is there a quick way to remove the old mortar than using hammer and chisel? Reason I can't use fresh pieces are due to location. Garden...

Is that about the thickness of the resin-gravel or advice to avoid resin?

I'm asking for some advice on suitable type of resin bond for driveway. Needs to be a thin layer 1cm thick, but long lasting and bond to concrete with stone chippings to prevent the stones from wearing away. What kind of price can I expect for the surfacing including materials? It is a 3x3m area.

Yes you're right the bags go rock hard after some time. I didn't open the bag for that reason to check the aggregate. So is postcrete more like concrete because it is missing the sand portion? If so would that on its own be more brittle? Should I add some sand to balance it out?

Got just 2 layers of a rustic garden wall to patch up just 1m wide. Made of broken pieces of pavement slabs 50mm thick. Mortaring about 1 cm thick layer with same thickness aggregate thrown in for strength. Got maybe 3 or 4 handfuls wickes ready mix mortar bag left, but maybe little short to...
