Javis Tarmac scatter no 16.

hey guys, 

just wondering if anybody can point me in a the direction of a good tutorial on using this stuff? have a bag of it sitting here that could be put to good use but some instructions would be good before i go ruining a perfectly good bit of timber

Don't know this stuff, but suspect it may be rather coarse - most types are at least a scale too big. 

 Tarmac is actually very smooth and the best ways to represent it are either fine wet&dry (at least 600 grit), or talc shaken liberally on to gloss black paint, then smoothed over and vacuumed when dry.

@Robhit the nail on the head with Hueston North for road surfacing. Looks so so perfect.

Thanks-  l never used that Tarmac scatter now so don't know on that.

Mine was the old fashioned 'print on paper' approach

Finally got around to using this and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Quite a good solution for quickly making a textured almost loose chippingy road surface that doesn't look super modeern.
