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.

Does the existing tarmac have to be in good condition?
No. Tarmaseal will improve any Tarmac driveway, but it will only uniform and transform the colour, it will not improve the actual structure of the Tarmac. In other words if the surface is 'breaking up' with a lot of cracks and holes appearing, it probably needs totally re-surfacing.

I recently applied TARMASEAL to my drive and now there are tyre marks already on it.
Don’t worry! This happens on all driveways regardless of surface. After a while, it will all weather in uniformly and you will not notice the tyre marks.
-
Can TARMASEAL be applied on partially damp surfaces?
We would always recommend application to dry surfaces although a little damp will not be a problem if does not affect the overall drying process. In reference to aesthetics, adhesion or product performance it is not a problem.
-
What weather conditions can TARMASEAL be applied in?
We would recommend totally dry conditions, with temperatures of 10° C or higher. Tarmaseal can be applied in slightly lower temperatures, but lower temperatures will extend the drying times. Be warned that if rains falls on Tarmaseal before it is fully dry, the area will probably need to be re-coated.

What size area will a litre of TARMASEAL cover?
This will depend on the age, porosity, texture and general condition of the Tarmac. A relevant factor will also be how Tarmaseal is applied, the normal rate of coverage that can be expected is between 2 and 3 m² per litre when applying a two coat application. Therefore if applied by a roller a 20ltr container is likely to cover between 40 - 60m².
