* After road tarmacing in Didcot, allow your road to rest for about three days without traffic passing on it. In a normal circumstance, it will take 6 to 12 months for your road to be hardened and cure.

At times, soapsuds appear when you water the surface; do not be frightened as it is a sign of the normal reaction between the chlorine in water and the diesel fuel.
