APPLICATION GUIDE FOR  TARMASEAL

PREPARATION DIY procedure

  1. Before any application of the tarmac restorer, ensure the surface
    is thoroughly cleaned and loose stones are swept away.
  2. Clean the tarmac by power/jet washing on reduced pressure to avoid
    damage to the surface.
  3. If algae or moss is present, a pre-treatment with Smartseal fungicidal
    wash is advised.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

  1. Apply product to a clean, dry tarmac surface with temperatures above
    10 degrees and no rain is forecast for at least 3 hours after the application
    process has finished.
  2. For best results it is advisable to use a long handled roller kit with a
    medium pile head. A soft broom or paint brush can be used for borders
    or hard to get to areas, but generally a roller kit is best. DIY procedure
  3. Dependent on condition two coats of tarmac restorer are
    recommended. Average coverage ratios are 40-60sq.* metres per 20
    litre drum (60 sq. metres if the tarmac is in good condition but has lost
    colour and faded over time. 40 sq. metres for poorer quality tarmac
    surfaces).
  4. Prior to commencing application thoroughly stir the tarmac restorer.
    This will ensure the pigment and the slip enhancing additive within the
    product are mixed thoroughly and not settled at the bottom of the
    container. This mixing can be carried out with anything from a stiff stick,
    broom handle, or a mixing paddle connected to an electric drill.
  5. Areas adjacent to neighbours driveways, flower beds or lawns should
    be masked off with tape, or planks of wood to avoid un-wanted
    coverage.
  6. After application keep vehicles and foot traffic of the tarmac until
    completely dry.
