Would there be a problem with using building sand as the aggregate in the construction of a resin bound path? The small grains would require considerably more resin than a 1-3 mm aggregate and the result may be a far less porous. Any thoughts?

It would end up cracking and failing. Best to keep to the tried and tested methods. Lots on the index to read up on, take the tome to look.
