Achieve the Kind of Asphalt Texture You Want
Asphalt Sealing is the process of applying topcoats of asphalt to roads and streets. We use hot asphalt that has been mixed with various materials, such as tar, bitumen, and fillers. These materials flow into the cracks of our roads and create a smooth surface. Do a quick visual inspection of your asphalt sealcoating job to make sure everything is in place and the color is consistent. If not, make sure to go back and correct the mistake before the process is complete. Nothing is more frustrating than going to inspect a job only to find that you have done the job incorrectly. The best way to check for mistakes is to perform a quick visual inspection. The following are some common mistakes that you should be aware of.
Wrong Color
If you notice a color difference when performing the trip, then your asphalt has either dried too much or too little. If you notice a color difference when performing the trip, then your asphalt has either dried too much or too little.
Not Enough Seal
One of the most common mistakes made when applying asphalt sealing is not applying enough seals. When applying sealcoating, you need to make sure that you have enough material on your roller to reasonably fill the cracks and ridges in your asphalt. If you have too little seal, then you may leave a void in your asphalt.
Wrong Mix
Make sure your asphalt sealing is mixed right. The best way to check this is by using a 2-part sealer. When using 2-part sealers, you will have to mix the material with water.
Wrong Heat
If you apply your asphalt sealing too early, then you may end up with asphalt that is too hot. This will cause the seal to separate from the asphalt and bubble.
Driving Too Fast
When applying wet asphalt sealing, you should never drive faster than the recommended speed.
