If it rains before TARMASEAL is fully dry, what will happen?
Dependent on how hard it rains and how close the Tarmaseal is to being fully dry, the worst-case scenario is that the product will be literally washed away. If partially dry, you may be left with a patchy milky white residue on the surface. In both cases, the Tarmac will probably have to be recoated when the surface is fully dry to obtain a uniform, acceptable finish.
-
Can TARMASEAL be applied on plain concrete?
Yes. The concrete must be totally clean and dry prior to application. To achieve a uniform finish, several coats may be required.
-
Do I have to be in to sign for delivery?
Yes, this is the best option to avoid any delays in getting the product to you. All deliveries require a signature to confirm you’ve received your order correctly. However, we can instruct the courier to leave in a safe place if clear instructions are given at the time the order is placed.
-
Does the material need to be mixed or stirred?
Yes. TarmaSeal is a combination of resins, pigment, a slip-enhancing additive and other materials. These ingredients can settle at the bottom of the drum, this makes it important to thoroughly mix the material to ensure that all material is mixed from the bottom of the container in order to get best results from the product. TarmaSeal can be stirred with a stiff stick or a broom handle (for the 20 Litre containers). Alternatively, a mixing paddle attached to an electric drill is much quicker and easier.
-
How long do I need to leave between coats?
In most conditions that are suitable for application of Tarmaseal it will be touch dry within two hours and the second coat can be applied. However if conditions are cool or slightly damp, this time frame could be extended.
-
Do I have to use a roller to apply TARMASEAL?
No, but a Roller is the easiest way, especially for larger areas. For small areas, a paintbrush or soft broom could be used.
