Can TARMASEAL be applied to poorly laid new tarmac?
Yes, but we would advise that the new tarmac is left for at least 30 days before TarmaSeal is applied. Also, check that all oily residue has disappeared from the Tarmac, as this may lessen the bond between the products.

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.
-
Is TARMASEAL dangerous to pets or children etc?
No, TarmaSeal is a water-based product which containd no dangerous chemicals. It will not harm pets and as it dries quickly, animals walking on the surface and then licking their paws is not a concern. However we do recommend children and pets do not walk on the surface until it is totally dry.
-
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.
-
What happens if my product arrives damaged or leaking?
Unfortunately, as we mostly deal with liquids, now and again, although it is quite rare, they leak or get damaged in transit. If this happens, all we ask is you take a picture of the damaged item and send it to info@tarmaseal.co.uk and we will investigate the matter further with the courier. In the meantime, if the product is deemed unusable, we will offer a replacement FOC (Free Of Charge).

How long will TARMASEAL last once applied?
TarmaSeal is highly durable, but as with all external products, it does not have an indefinite lifespan. The highest exposed aggregate parts of the surface will wear first, although wear to these areas is seldom noticed and will not detract from the excellent transformation that TarmaSeal makes to an old, tired-looking driveway.
Generally, an area that receives little vehicular use will last indefinitely. A ‘standard’ driveway, with maybe one car or two cars on and off once a day, is likely to look virtually the same for at least three or more years. Of course, a driveway that’s used a lot more may show some signs of wear after a couple of years. However, the tarmac will still look much better and a vast improvement on its condition prior to the original application of TarmaSeal!
