Title: a bit of advice needed lads
Post by: kevincoggan on June 10, 2017, 03:15:59 pm
i could do with a bit of advice lads,a few months ago i pre treated some very filthy concrete pavers with hypo prior to pressure washing.
ok so far so good the only problem i have is that i used an x-jet to apply the hypo as the area was large and unfortunatly a bit of hypo has oversprayed onto the tarmac driveway,my fault totally and theres a couple of bleached areas now on the tarmac,i've tried searching for remidies to removing the stain but apart from white vinegar is there any other option available to me?
touch up paint is not an option.
thanks in advance

You could try an enhancing Sealer

If the worst came to the worst you might consider a bit of artistic work with tarmac paint, there are loads on the market.

That would have been my first choice but he said Tarmac Restorer / Paint was not an option in his original post

thanks for the replies lads,its a large driveway and the ashphelt is grey SO, i assume if i start  being artistic with the paint i would make it look even worse,they are an old couple who'm are looking to downsize or the hubby could at any point go into a home.
i know i could just ignore the calls etc but i'm not like that and its my mistake and want to rectify it but not at the cost of painting the whole drive.although unless theres a much better solution paint may be the way to go methinks

What are the expectations of her compliant?

Does she want the problem rectifying? Has she actually asked you to put it right or just complained about it.

I damaged a part of a  lawn, they rang and complained  I went round admitted responsibility and  apoligised, I said nothing could be done it was dead, they accepted my apology and reluctantly put up with it.

If you just told them straight you made a mistake  there is nothing you can do to make an acceptable improvement what would they do?
