Muel Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Builders or so I am told. I missed the people doing my grandparents drive by 15 minutes. I had a scout round but couldn't find any lumps. You could just dig it up from the pavement where they hae mended a water pipe or something, they fill the gap with tar.Use the search in future, I'm not having a go, but the Mods don't like to see topics being duplicated when its fairly obvious stuff.

0llie Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 i have always asked blokes laying down road surfaces if they have any. some come up trumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boswell Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 You should really use the search, people are always asking where can they get tar from. The easiest way to get your hands on some is probably from just pulling it out of a road surface or you could try to get some pure stuff by asking a workmen.

danny_cartledge Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Tar from a normal road doesn't work, because it has loads of bits in it!But if you go to a cobbled road, thats a different story. theres loads of tar in between the cracks of it! Take a screwdriver to it, and ur sorted!Just dont let anyone see you Hope i helped!Danny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
