Has anyone tried using a gravel binder to keep landscape rocks in place?

I'm planning to refresh a small landscape area in my backyard, but I'm tired of gravel spreading everywhere after rain and when people walk on it.

Someone recently recommended Bond Craftor Mulch Glue & Gravel Binder, saying it helps lock gravel in place while still looking natural. I checked it out, and it seems interesting, but I'd really like to hear from people who have actually used a gravel binder before.

Does it really keep loose gravel from moving? How long does it last outdoors? Does it still drain water well after it's cured?

If you've used Bond Craftor or any other gravel binder, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience before I decide.
 
Thanks for letting me know! That's pretty much where I am too. Most of what I've found so far is from demo videos or product pages, so it's hard to tell how it actually performs after a few months outdoors. I'm especially curious whether it still allows good drainage and whether it holds up after heavy rain or freezing weather. Hopefully someone with real long-term experience can share their thoughts.
 
From what I’ve seen some of it seems to be pva type liquid which just sticks small stones together . The more expensive option is a resin.
