Car park bay marking

[Mark Candlin]

without using the hot gunk the pros use on the road you can try the following method which i have tried with success.

You can try using road marking spray cans thru a stencil, I had the stencills cut in 3mm foamex and sprayed thru a couple of times. Any middles of letters etc can be double sided taped to the asphalt while you spray.

Its a good idea to wire brush the surface of the tarmac first where the graphics are gonna go to get rid off the lichen etc and to get rid of any loose material.

Wont last as long as the proper stuff but the cars dont tend to drive over the graphic if its in the middle of the bay when they park.

there is a product out there thaat is ideal for that job.

Its a tape that you lay out as required, then its heated with a gas torch, similar to what a flat roofer would use.
utility companies use it all the time after doing repairs to drains etc.

Now i’ve got you all excited, i’ll tell you i don’t know the supplier, BUT, if you get in touch with local tarmac gangs they;ll be able to tell you, and maybe you could get some from them…… it worked for me!!

I looked into this, the tape one would be ideal.. but as Darryl i can’t find the details… the spray stuff wears off really quick..

Nice one guys, don’t think i’ll be approaching the local tarmac ‘gangs’. The next thing you’ll know is that you’ve got 15 caravans to price up & you just know that it’s gonna end in tears – probably my own.
