Yeah that's the stuff......but I'm somewhat surprised to see a BM has it in stock.

What size drum is it tin?

your local tar plant will also sell it, we have a local one who will batch any order down to half a ton, but you pay for the hassle, cemex for full loads or wagon loads much cheaper per ton.

dave did you get the letter of cemex explaining the £1.30 price rise, i only glanced at it.

Dave L its in a gallon drum, hence my suspicions, it just says on it that its for priming a multitude of different surfaces it mentions asphalt but mac?!

you can get it in all sizes from 45 gallon drums down to spray can sized ones for repairs & patching.

at least its just the GFs uncle ,if it was the potential dad in law i would be worried

TBH dan I have been caught many times by spurious relations looking for cheap jobs "when you get a minute" or "in your spare time"
when they ask about freebies or cheap jobs now i just mention working out a price and they go all quiet :;):
the bottom line is that when you go shopping they dont pay for your groceries ,
good luck dan
