Tarmac Cold Lay Macadam - 25kg Bag

Calculate the area to be repaired in square meters and the depth of the macadam (usually 20mm). Use this information to estimate the required volume, keeping in mind that one 25kg bag covers roughly 0.5 square meters at a depth of 20mm.

You will need a shovel or rake, a compactor or hand tamper, a broom, and appropriate safety equipment such as gloves and eye protection.

While Tarmac Cold Lay Macadam is designed for asphalt and tarmac surfaces, it can sometimes be used on concrete. However, this may require a bonding agent. Always check for product compatibility.

The longevity of the repair depends on factors such as proper preparation, compaction, and traffic volume. Properly applied macadam can last for several years.

The product has a shelf life of over six months when stored correctly in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Wear gloves and eye protection when handling the product. Avoid inhaling dust. Work in a well-ventilated area.

Yes, Tarmac Cold Lay Macadam can be used in winter, but drying times may be extended. Ensure the surface is free from ice and snow before applying.

No special skills are required, making it ideal for both DIY and professional use. Follow the instructions carefully for best results.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free from debris. Use a suitable compactor and apply consistent force during the compaction process.

Check the weather conditions. Ensure the area is exposed to sunlight and that temperatures are suitable for drying. Extremely cold or wet conditions may extend drying times. Make sure the layer is 20mm deep.

Ensure proper compaction during application. Consider the traffic load and the surface for appropriate use. For heavily trafficked areas, consider consulting with a professional for more robust solutions.
