Tarmac Cold Lay Ready Mixed Macadam Bag - Tarmac

This product is primarily designed for patching and smaller repairs. For a full driveway resurfacing, larger quantities and potentially different materials or professional installation would be more appropriate.

The repair is immediately stable after thorough compaction. It becomes fully hardened and weather-resistant as it cures, which can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days depending on temperature and humidity. It's generally safe for light traffic shortly after compaction.

For most repairs, you will need a shovel or trowel to spread the material and a hand tamper or a piece of sturdy timber for compaction. Gloves are also recommended.

While it can be used in damp conditions, it is best applied to a dry, prepared surface. Avoid applying during heavy rain. Ensure the repair area is as dry as possible before application.

Seal the bag tightly and store it in a cool, dry place. This will help prevent the material from drying out and keep it workable for future use.

Yes, it can be used on slopes. Ensure thorough compaction to prevent any slumping or movement, especially on steeper inclines.

This can happen if the material has been exposed to air. Ensure the bag is properly sealed when not in use. If slightly stiff, it may still be workable; apply more force during spreading and compaction. In very cold temperatures, allow the bag to warm slightly indoors before use.

This is typically due to insufficient compaction. Ensure you have compacted the material thoroughly with a tamper until it is firm and stable. Re-apply material if necessary and compact again.

Work in smaller sections and ensure the bag is resealed tightly after each use. Avoid opening the bag in direct sunlight or windy conditions if possible.
