Road-patching goo (3)

I believe the answer is:

tar

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Smoker's black deposit" , "Informal sailor or road surfacing material" , "Dark viscous stuff" , "Road surfacing or old sailor" , "Sticky road material or informal sailor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
