Dig a hole, carefully following the recommended guidelines. The hole should be no more than twice the width of the post.
Ensure there is no standing water in the hole.
Place the post in the hole and securely fix in place
Prepare the mixture by pouring the contents of the small bottle in to the larger bottle
Shake the bottle of Osmo UK Postfix for 20 seconds exactly - do NOT allow the expansion to start in the bottle
Pour the solution in to the hole whilst ensuring the post remains in position
Watch the solution expand in the hole whilst again ensuring the post stays in position

Prompt deliveries and professional service. The site is difficult to navigate and the logging in almost deterred me from buying.

The jury's out as to how effective this postfix will be. It does work out more expensive by about a factor of three over postcrete, but from experience, I know that concrete tends to shrink away from the post and allows water ingression. How this will stand up to the movement of the garden I'll have to wait and see, but I was surprised that I need 1.5 packs to do a 700mm deep hole of only 6" diameter.

Having used Fast2k this is a much better way of mixing the two parts, it also gives better control of applying the material once mixed. I found that mixing the material for 30 seconds instead of the instructed 20 seconds gave better results. Try and keep to the storage temperature in the instructions as the product is slow to expand at lower temperatures. You have to support any post longer than instructed before the foam is stiff enough to release and keep an eye on the post for longer than it says in the instructions as the expanding foam can and will move the post. The jury is still out on its functionality but if it's as goog as Fast2k then it will do the job and it's cheaper. Using concrete intermediate posts, an 8 inch auger,and a 3 feet hole I had to use 3 per hole, so one box for every foot of hole. Is it cheaper than concrete post mix - No is it quicker and easyer to work with - it wins hands down.
