i wouldnt use instarmac stuff. it is good but £1000 a tonne is ripping the preverbial.
it should be only slightly more expensive than hotmix,as the bitumen content and heat is reduced against a normal recipe,before adding the flux.
the ecoflux stuff,which i thing ronacrete and instarmac use in their mix,sets hard on top fairly quickly,but will still be pliable underneath for a while after its laid.
the problem with these guys,is that they dont have their own tar plant,so a product that costs about £90 a tonne to make ends up,with packaging and marketing at £1000.
just about every plant makes their own version of coldtar,which are all really good these days,its just whether anyone can be ersed to bypass their local b.m
colas do a nice product calle bitucrete,which was about £7 per 25kg last time i bought it.
