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.

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!

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.
