TECHNICAL
Smartseal Cold Lay Tarmac is ready to use quick, cost-effective repairs to paths and driveways.
Simple to use, No specialist tools or equipment are required.
Preparation
Ensure the area where the cold lay repair is to be laid is clean and dry.
Application
Use an ordinary rake, spade or trowel to spread the cold lay repair. Leave approx 10mm higher than damaged area to allow maximum compaction.
Use a heavy, flat object for ‘tamping’ Wet the tamper frequently to avoid the cold lay repair sticking to the tool.
When repairing deep pot-holes (greater than 30mm) lay the cold lay repair in two stages.
Thoroughly compact the first layer to 20mm and leave for 24 hours. Then thoroughly compact second layer to the required level. Allow the repair tarmac to harden fully.
It is not recommended to use product in temperatures below 10 degrees
PLEASE NOTE:
After prolonged storage, it may be necessary to expose the cold lay tarmac to direct sunlight for 1-2 hours prior to opening to soften the material and restore workability.
Coverage rates will vary greatly relative to depth of potholes.
See How to and step by step guides on www.smartseal.co.uk for further instructions.

Graham Kenneth Oliver –
My driveway is black tarmac. If I wanted it to look different would your red tarmac restorer cover it and look good?

Hi Graham,
It can be done but is not something we would advise as once the surface starts to wear in areas the underlying black may start to show through at some point.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Hi Malik,
If its because the surface of tarmac is uneven then you would need to somehow level it off. Tarmac should be porous to a degree but I’m not sure how any of our products would help in this instance if water is not draining away.
Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Steve,
I would suggest using the crack repair compound for this size of hole or crack – https://www.tarmaseal.co.uk/product/crack-repair-compound-3kg/
For larger holes such as potholes or broken areas of tarmac that may have subsided I would suggest using the Repair Tarmac – https://www.tarmaseal.co.uk/product/repair-tarmac-asphalt-12-5kg-0-25-ltrs-primer/
Feel free to call me if you need anything clarified on 01268 722500.

Hi Rosemary,
Thank you for your enquiry.
The cold lay repair is best but you would need to cut the areas out and refill with the cold lay to create the best repair.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Nick

Hi i have stones through my tar driveway and some stones have come out leaving small holes.
What would be the best solution to fill them? It just ruins the look of the drive.
Also how long would i need to leave the product down before driving over it again?
