Derby-Rider Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 best place is on a side road in summer when they just done road works! like last comment use a spoon or flat screwdriver, dont dig too far down because the you will get grit!

bigamac Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Get it out of roads. but only the smooth tar.Or i think that your able to buy some at B and QEDIT: Then get a lighter or some flame and heat one edge and smooth off so its good for the rim.

Oli P Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) They sell it on the monty shop if u cant be bothered to dig up the roads. But you do have to spend £3 to be able to get any.http://www.themontyshop.com/index.php/mont...op-rim-tar.html Edited November 12, 2008 by raptor169 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Recently layed tarmac: get a lighter, hold it over it for a bit and it should melt. After a while you should have a massive lump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Baxter Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Well roads sounds a good plan but also, my friend has found barrels of the stuff before. Also if you want to risk it it is used to stick down roofing on the top of shed roofs and school roofs etc ...Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoby Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I bet 50p.What size are you saying is small?I think about.. 1"x1"x1" and if you think about it, that a fair size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well, kennard gave me a lump like 5" by 3" by 2" for free. I'd say that was a nice size I reckon you'll get a 1"x1"x1" too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that was a nice size I reckon you'll get a 1"x1"x1" too Well consider they have to put it into letterbox, and why would you want to carry 5" by 3" by 2" round with you.When 1" by 1" by 1" could last 6 months?

Smoby Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 a 1 inch cube will last at least a good few months if you do not over use it.Had a 1" cube once.. well roughly, lasted about 5 months, stopped using it, it still sits in my draw, when i go to find it, its not there, the next day it is there . Somebody's being sneaky . Does this happen to anybody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob/Mitch Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Back i in the day we used to just ask the roadwork guys for bits of tar.After having to explain why we wanted it we'd get massive slabs of the stuff. Dont tend to need it these days though, I think brakes have come on a lot sinse the crappy v's we used to use 10 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think back to 1998, I cant even remember writing that year down at school.Mobile phones, Bigger then a jumbo jet, no colour and battery life, well not even going there, I believe it lasted about 6 hours. Great improvements over the years, I believe they have disposable mobile phones in china now.Britain is behind . Oh, and have you heard about the bio-degradable nappies..? No..? Neither have I.Edit: God, just read that, Don't i blabber on! Edited November 13, 2008 by Smoby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
