Available in 25kg bags, tonne bags and in loose bulk, Easi-Repair™ is ready to use straight from the bag and does not require any further mixing. Again there is no minimum temperature for applying Enviro Mastic, which is the same for all hot-lay mixtures,” says Dave.

I could move the line of the drain/bump but of course as the bellmouth widens, the required length increases significantly- and anyway due to the way the ground slopes, and where I need to redirect the runoff to, there are limited options for where to place it regardless. I'm not needing this to be trafficed for another six weeks or so, so if cold tar needs a bit of time to set and bond, that's OK. Please note: Many of the products we sell are natural materials and as such, our photographs are intended for illustrative purposes only, with variations in shape, size and colour possible. I've got water runoff from the main road causing erosion on my access, and I need a way of intercepting it. The good news is it’s very likely there is nothing wrong with the formula itself if the bagged asphalt is still within its expiry date.Most permanent cold-lay materials are designed to provide higher placement adhesion than traditional materials and, in some cases, will last a reasonable length of time if well compacted into wet potholes without edge cutback and sealing, or even in shallow defects with minimal preparation. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. The key for these repairs is to apply almost excessive mechanical compaction, avoiding migration of the binder to the surface or crushing the aggregate. Now let's look at the two main types of cold mix bitumen based surfacing materials in more detail to highlight their intended uses, unique benefits and known limits.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I also want to place the drain/bump very close to the edge of the tar (only the bellmouth is tarred- the rest of the drive is just stone) so if I cut down into it I'm leaving a weak little strip of tar. Another way of softening an unopened bag of hardened cold-lay asphalt is to expose the package to direct sunlight. These hardening and curing characteristics mean that the repair can be trafficked immediately, which is one of the main reasons permanent cold-lay surfacing materials (PCSMs) are very popular with reactive maintenance crews.The _ga cookie, installed by Google Analytics, calculates visitor, session and campaign data and also keeps track of site usage for the site's analytics report. The filler can be ready for traffic following compaction instantly in wet, freezing, and hot conditions and is compatible with existing road surfaces. Although we recommend the simple method mentioned above to soften bagged asphalt (of using pressure from your knee to soften the mixture), there are other methods you could consider.
