cement on tarmac

[jersey]

after finaly finishing my porch and not being the cleanest worker i have cement on my tarmac drive hows the best way of getting it off would cement acid be ok or will it damage the tarmac ?????

i don't think it's going to be that easy.

the acid only removes very thin/small areas. i don't believe it would damage the tarmac as ideally u would only apply to the cement areas and it's washed off with water after the 20 odd mins working time. i guess u need to try a small area 1st.

i think u might have to chip or grind the cement off as much as possible 1st. probably angle grinder to minimise the potential for damaging the soft tarmac.

tarmac is a bit flexible, concrete isn't. I think it will loosen and wear off when you drive over it.

I would also try sliding a shovel at it to see if it will lift it off.

Or you could paint it black

Good luck, i feel for you. It won't look back to normal for 6months.

Sorry to be so unhelpful.
