Cold Lay Macadam - 20kg Bag

No, you only need a spade for distributing the material and a heavy-duty tamper or plate compactor to ensure it is firmly set.

This product is specifically designed for patches and repair work, not for laying large areas or full driveways.

The material is designed to remain workable in the bag until opened. Once opened, it should be used immediately.

It is best applied in dry conditions. If the repair area is wet, remove standing water and allow the surface to dry as much as possible before application.

It is recommended to fill in layers if the hole is deeper than 50mm, compacting each layer individually to ensure the bottom of the repair is as solid as the top.

The bag may have been compromised or stored in extreme temperatures. Always store in a cool, dry location and check for punctures before purchase.

This is typically caused by insufficient compaction. Ensure the area was thoroughly cleaned of debris and that you applied enough pressure to force the aggregate together.

The macadam takes time to fully cure based on ambient temperatures. Avoid driving on the repair for the first 24-48 hours if possible.
