FAQs

How long does the Tarmac Restorer take to dry?

The product is quick-drying and typically allows the driveway to be used again after approximately 4 hours. However, full curing can take longer, so avoid heavy traffic or potential spills for at least 24 hours.

Can I use this on concrete or block paving?

No, this product is specifically formulated for tarmac and asphalt surfaces only. It will not adhere correctly or provide the desired finish on concrete, block paving, or other surfaces.

How much area does a 5-litre container cover?

Coverage can vary depending on the porosity and condition of the tarmac. Generally, a 5-litre container can cover approximately 25-35 square meters for a single coat.

What preparation is needed before applying?

The tarmac must be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, moss, algae, and loose debris. Power washing and allowing the surface to dry completely is recommended.

Will this stop weeds growing?

The restorer provides a protective barrier that helps to inhibit weed and plant growth by sealing the surface.

Can I apply this in cold weather?

It is best to apply in dry conditions when the temperature is between 5°C and 25°C. Avoid application during frost, rain, or high humidity.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color after application

This can be due to inconsistent application or insufficient surface preparation. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and the product was applied evenly across all sections. A second coat may help to even out the color.

Product is not drying

This is likely due to high humidity, low temperatures, or rain. Ensure the product is applied in suitable weather conditions (refer to product guidelines for temperature and humidity ranges) and avoid application if rain is forecast.

Tarmac appears patchy or streaky

Ensure the product was thoroughly mixed before application. Inconsistent application or applying too thinly in some areas can lead to patchiness. Consider applying a second, even coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for use on tarmac and asphalt surfaces only. Do not use on concrete, paving slabs, or other non-asphalt materials.

Preparation: Ensure the tarmac surface is clean, dry, and free from loose chippings, moss, algae, and oil stains. Power washing is recommended for cleaning, followed by allowing the surface to dry completely (this may take 2-3 days depending on conditions). Apply a patch test in an inconspicuous area first.

Application: Apply using a roller, brush, or squeegee. Work in sections and ensure an even coat. Avoid applying too thickly. A second coat may be applied after the first has dried if a deeper color is desired.

Care: Once applied and cured, the surface can be cleaned with water and a stiff brush. Avoid using harsh solvents or aggressive cleaning methods that could damage the coating.
