Tarmac repair
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2013
- Damaged patches of Tarmac can easily be repaired inexpensively using a suitable cold lay repair compound. Here we use Everbuild QuickMac to repair a hole in a Tarmac drive. Although the patch is clearly visible at first it will gradually fade in and will not catch your eye as much after a few seasons have passed. Ideally you should use a jointing compound when joining the new to old. It's also advisable to repair the Tarmac in warm weather as the cold lay compound is much easier to apply in warm weather.

Thanks, really helpful. Our driveway needs this, so glad its a easier fix than having the whole driveway re-done.
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment 👍
Forgot to say keep the videos coming really enjoy watching them
I did a DIY repair to a small area of damaged path where I spilt some petrol from my lawn mower. Mixed up some stone shingle with bitumen paint and then poured into the hole. I didn't have a shovel and rammer either so I used a 16 KG kettlebell to compress!
Thanks for the comment ;-)
I like the new tools & gloves an coat ha useful video for repair work 👍
Thanks mate this is going to help me repair my tarmac where ive knocked down a wall on my driveway, thanks again!
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
Very helpful video .I was unaware there was such a product .👍
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Yes, I am considering it getting it Tarmaced. Thank you
A man walks into a bar with a roll of tarmac under his arm. He says to the barman, I'll have a pint of lager...and one for the road.
LOL
Thanks for the comment 👍

Your videos are great to watch, but do you have any that show how to install a patio roof? I have a flat wall with siding and I really need to know how to mount the roof to the wall.. Thank you in advance
You can wash the whole drive first then carry out the repair and finish off with back 2 black sealer for a perfect look.
Thanks Brother. Thought this is what I should do.. but seeing it is most helpful. Excellent video.
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Hey bud, thanks for the videos. Been really useful of late. We've just put in a new water main and underground waste (something I also watched on your channel, thanks), amongst other things. What sort of coverage would you get from one of these bags?
Need to get our drive back to something that doesn't look too bad but as we still have a fair amount of work to do I'm not looking at putting too much money into it until we've done everything else. This could work, but I'm concerned about the number of bags I'd need. I've got a channel about 200mm wide and about 10m long plus a 1mx1m joining bay and a raised bed we dug up, but it's a good sized drive (can fit 3 cars) so tarmacing the whole thing would cost a couple of 1000.
Any help/advice most welcome, thanks
How did you install your gate post so close to that wall? I have to install a fence just like your black metal gate. It will be in a garden that is not level, I am not sure how to keep concrete footings level in this sloping garden. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Great video! Make it very easy to do. Been speaking to someone who said their tarmac never hardened and that I should use a blowtorch once I had compacted the tarmac. I m a novice, is this good advice? Just want to get it right first time around!
Hi, Greta video! What Jointing compound word you recommend before using the cold lay. Thank you. 👍🏾
Thanks for this, I'm doing some repairs using this stuff. Very helpful 👍
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment 👍
this is topical for me ... our driveway is falling apart ...
would it make sense to heat this in some way to help it settle it in, especially during winter?
I thought you were doing an archeological dig at first with the little trowel and brush in the hole! Lol
I want a tar liquid for filling cracks in tarmàc
Could you recommend a product to resurface a concrete drive way?
K
The best way is to put 3 layers in and compact each one down with the lump hammer but use the head to tamp as covers more area then finish off with trowel....Best tip is to warm the tar up prior to using put near a radiator or even better near the fire not too close tho don't want it catching on fire and burning the house down and worst bit is the driveway still ain't finished 😩 but that's worst case scenario lol other than that it's a great product 👍Did you get much snow in the end?
Get a stihl saw and cut the edges neat, will stop the tarmac coming loose if you have a better joint..... then bitumen seal the joints to stop water getting in and ruining the tarmac
And a punner
Thanks for this video, very handy.
Glad it was helpful!
Would you advise using cold joint sealer first?(that spray stuff)
What is a jointing compound ... with they know what I mean in the US at Home Depot, like tarmac we usually call asphalt? ;-) Thanks.
Great vid lad👍👍
Thanks for the comment 👍
Thank you for video :) Would this work in a massive puddle in a tarmacked driveway please?
The puddle has gradual rather than steep edges.
Yes, it should work, as long as the water is removed and allowed to dry out first.
Thanks for the comment
Thank you :)
I wouldn't taper the quick Mac on a shallow gradient as it will chip off on the edges. Decide the area you want to fill and cut straight down a couple of inches. Then fill it up level with tho old tarmac.
Would this be suitable for filling a recessed man hole cover in a driveway? I've got steel ones that get extremely hot in summer and my young daughter burned her feet on it last year. Was thinking of buying recessed ones and filling with this to match the tarmac drive.
Not sure, sorry.
I have only ever used it for repairs.
Might be best to check with their technical department first 👍
Brill video. Really helpful
Glad you think so!
Any ideas on the best way to repair tarmac broken off around a manhole. Bearing in mind a car goes over it.
This stuff should work fine as long as the tarmac is compacted properly.
Driving over it with the car should compact it well.
Great stuff, thank you!.
How do I seal the edges from being disturbed by vehicle and human traffic? I have patched up before only to keep on patching again following year.
Have you trued heating the tarmac with a blowtorch etc. ?
ULTIMATE!!!!
isnt there any way to make it look aged, instead of waiting a few years :/ ?
Give the driveway a good sweep up and all the dust and debris gathered just use it to rub over the new tarmac and it will look older and weathered instantly.
So I’m building eventually a pergola, in between the house and the apartment where I house my parrots, so it will be an aviary but I’m wondering..(looking out at the high winds, there’s a crazy storm blowing over Ireland atm, 18/Feb/22 wooh my first time writing the date in 22.) but the area is already tarmac,Ed, should I cut trough it with an angle grinder, then cement it in and repair the area with that quick Mac still, or would it be possible to attach it to the ground with some sort of bolts, what would be more secure, I intended to put a partial per-specks roof on, and attach it to the new roof on that that the lads build in an extra beam so I could attach it easier, I recently bought a mither saw to make parrot toys, but have also been trying to hire someone to do it almost two years, first it was none could come because of covid, then once restrictions were lifted everyone was booked solid, there all friends who say they’ll help if I wanna give it a go…I keep seeing all these women on the internet and tv doing cool stuff with there few tools…I also snapped up a mig welder, planning to teach myself to weld..it took me a week to figure out I needed to have the extra clip attached to the metal I was trying to weld, I taught it was broken, but I didn’t give up, I couldn’t see a thing trough the mask, do I need a better quality mask,. Or is that the norm do most welders go half guessing where to lay a weld…what I welded fell apart the next day..but that’s ok, it’s all part of learning, if I don’t try I’ll never get ok at it…now I’ve found your channel it’ll be a great help..Tysm ♥️ from Ireland 🇮🇪
The problem is, that you do not know how thick the tarmac is and how good the sub base is. Therefore, I would dig down and use concrete/post crete for the post, then top it off using tarmac repair compound.
As for the welding mask, if you get a normal inexpensive mask, you can not see a thing through it, until an ark is struck by the welder, unless you get an auto darkening helmet, you can get a cheap one for about £50. These allow you to see through the mask, but will automatically darken once an ark is created, in a fraction of a second- to protect your eyes.
It's a different hole to the one you started with that you removed the tarmac from what's all that about
Two gates had been installed at the same property, I filled them both at the same time.
Thanks for the comment
If you do this a lot a tamping bar would really help
Absolutely
Thanks for the comment 👍
more videos
this thing looks like it is alive...
Would you be prepared to take on a log burner instal in my house? Obviously paid and you can record the installation. Email me if your interested
Bit random he is doing a driveway
Why didn't you just tip the whole bag in that hole?

👍
Coldmac really 🙈👍🏽
You not heard of a shovel and rammer
crazycraig5
Of course I have heard of a shovel and rammer, but most people who want to patch repair their tarmac are not going to have one ;-)
You might aswell stick your size 9s on them to compact it

It's the easiest thing in the world to sit there at a computer and pick faults with what other people do. I could do the same and when reading the comments from you I feel the urge to help you type a grammatically correct sentence but I'm not that type of person. A club hammer compacts tarmac fine for patch repairs ;-)
+Ultimate Handyman Totally agree. Negativity adds absolutely nothing. It's a good video and I learned quite a bit as a starting point. Thanks for the effort.

Thanks for the comment ;-)
Aren't you supposed to keep saying 'top of the morning' as you do this job? Then take all her life savings in payment for the tarmacing, and come back later to steal all her lead flashings. ;-)
Hey brainbox, he is not a gypo.
