Ronseal Thompson's Drive Seal - Black - 10 Litre

Drying times can vary. Typically, the surface is dry to touch in 2-4 hours. However, it requires a full 24-48 hours to cure properly before heavy use or exposure to rain. Always check the product can for the most accurate drying information.

This product is specifically formulated for tarmac and asphalt. It may not perform optimally or adhere correctly to concrete or block paving. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if considering use on alternative surfaces.

The durability of the seal depends on factors like traffic, weather, and initial application quality. Generally, reapplication may be needed every 2-3 years to maintain protection and appearance.

Coverage varies based on the porosity of the tarmac. A general guideline is approximately 5-10 square metres per litre per coat. The 10-litre container should cover a substantial driveway area, but refer to the product packaging for precise coverage estimates.

It is best to apply when temperatures are between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid application during frost, heavy rain, or high humidity, as this can compromise the finish and adhesion.

Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with water. Once the product has dried, it becomes much more difficult to remove.

Ensure the tarmac was thoroughly cleaned and completely dry before application. Remove all oil, grease, and loose debris. Reapply after proper surface preparation.

This can result from inconsistent application or not maintaining a wet edge. Apply in manageable sections and ensure even coats. If the problem is minor, a third, thin coat may help blend it.

This usually indicates over-application or application in temperatures that are too low or too high. Allow more time to cure in appropriate conditions. If necessary, a very light sprinkle of dry sand can sometimes help absorb tackiness once the surface is dry to the touch.

Likely due to inadequate surface preparation or application on a damp surface. The affected area will need to be removed, and the surface re-prepared and resealed.
