Product Information

Full details

The Tarmac Asphalt Repair (12.5Kg) is designed for homeowners and small property managers needing to fix potholes and damaged asphalt surfaces. Its primary benefit is providing practical, long-lasting repairs directly to driveways, paths, or car parks. A potential caveat is its suitability for smaller-scale repairs, as larger projects might require different solutions or professional application.

FAQs

How long does it take for the Tarmac Asphalt Repair to cure?

Curing time varies depending on temperature, humidity, and the depth of the repair. Generally, it is traffic-ready within a few hours in ideal conditions (warm and dry). Cooler or damp conditions will extend the curing time.

Can I use this product in very cold weather?

While it can be applied in cooler temperatures, performance and curing may be slower. For best results, apply in temperatures above 5°C (41°F).

What is the best way to compact the material?

Firm compaction is crucial. Use a hand tamper, a plate compactor, or the flat end of a shovel to press the material down firmly and evenly.

How deep can the repair be?

The Tarmac Asphalt Repair is best suited for filling potholes and cracks up to approximately 2-3 inches deep. For deeper voids, it may be necessary to fill in layers, compacting each layer.

Do I need any special tools to apply this?

Basic tools like a shovel for scooping and spreading, and a tamper or heavy flat object for compaction are sufficient. Gloves are recommended for handling.

Can this be used on paths as well as driveways?

Yes, it is suitable for use on driveways, pedestrian paths, patios, and car parks where asphalt surfaces are present.

Troubleshooting

Asphalt repair is soft or crumbly after application.

Ensure the material was properly compacted. Insufficient compaction is the most common cause of a poor repair. Allow more time for curing, especially in cooler temperatures.

Repair is not sticking to the edges of the hole.

Ensure the edges of the damaged area were clean and free from loose material. Lightly dampening the edges before application can improve adhesion.

Repair is uneven or has gaps.

The material was likely not spread or compacted evenly. Remove any loose material and reapply, ensuring even distribution and thorough compaction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the damaged area is clear of loose debris, water, and vegetation.
  2. For best adhesion, lightly dampen the edges of the hole (do not leave standing water).
  3. Open the Tarmac Asphalt Repair bag and carefully pour the material into the damaged area, filling it slightly above the surrounding surface level.
  4. Compact the material firmly using a tamper, roller, or the flat side of a shovel, ensuring it is level with the surrounding asphalt.

Compatibility:

This product is designed specifically for use on asphalt and tarmac surfaces. It is not recommended for use on concrete, tarmac substitute materials, or other non-asphalt bases.

Care:

Store unused product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the bag is sealed to maintain product integrity. Once applied and cured, the repaired area requires no special care beyond standard surface maintenance. Avoid heavy traffic immediately after application if temperatures are very high or low, allowing for proper curing.
