Hello all,

At the front of my garage I have a fair sized area of red tarmac. Parts
of this, where the wheels turn are starting to break up. Small bits of
stone stick to the car tyres and get carried into the garage.

Is there anything I can apply to the surface to prevent further break
up.

Regards....CC

You could try steering while you're rolling instead of when stopped.
That'd make a huge difference.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

A resin binder (as used for decorative gravel drives) will seal the
surface and prevent further degradation

Hello DG,

Thanks for that, any idea where I could get the resin binder, brand
names, stores?

Certainly will. Before power steering was common place it was hard work
steering without rolling, one just learnt that the least effort way was
to steer when just moving. These days I guess many people have not driven
a car without power steering so don't realise the stress that steering
without moving places on the tyres, road surface and steering mechanism.

Try www.resibond.co.uk or google for " resin driveways " or similar to
find suppliers. IIRC a 25 litre drum is about £30-40
