Product Information

Red tarmac is an incredibly durable and resilient pothole repair material, that does not fade. What is the Shelf Life for Instant Road Repair Red? If the tarmac is severely damaged, or the potholes are quite large, we recommend removing the top 6mm layer of the damaged tarmac and laying a new 6mm topping. The new layer will then bond more easily to the surface below. Applying light pressure, with your knee or elbow to the edge of the Instant Road Repair bag (contained within the tub), will activate the binder in the mixture and will restore the material to its normal, pliable consistency. In particularly cold conditions, you may find that storing the material somewhere warm for 24 hours prior to use will soften the material in the bag or tub considerably.
