Cold lay tarmac

Has anyone ever used it? Got a strip to fill that’s about 75mm wide and about 5omm deep and about 4 meters long. And a water stop tap cover to replace.

We use it a fare bit around posts it works well but better when it's warmer.. Also goes in better when the old Tarmac has been cut with a sill saw rather than ragged edge. We put some in last week when it was -1 luckily it was only 2min from home so popped back for lunch and put too bags next to the log burner in the shop for 20 min. Just tip it in and give it a good thumping with a tumper or lump hammer

Thanks Charlie only just down the road for me so I will give the log burner trick a go

Don't leave it too long ... Don't want to be responsible for your house burning down.. !!

Any spare on the way back from the job just pull in at a property of your fancy

 

" we've been on a job n got a load of Tarmac spare, do yer a real good price on it!"

We use a bit of it, good stuff. Like Charlie says best when warm. Like a lot of things, but not everything.

Put what you think you need in strip then get a portable blow torch, like gas cannister ones and heat it up and its easy to level out. Add more tar or take away untill happy

well I have given it a try and was pleasantly suppressed made a nice tidy finish to what was hopefully my last domestic fencing job give me cows and sheep any day .

took six bags to  do a relatively small area they spent a night in the kitchen next to the aga  then into the foot well of the pickup and tractor with heater on full blast and relay easy to use once it went soft.
