Step By Step
|
STEP #1 Sweep away loose debris or standing water from repair and surrounding area. Remember, IR is not readily absorbed by light colored materials like sand or snow. |
|
STEP #2 Light the chamber, and position it over the area to be repaired. Be sure to allow at least 12" of heated area beyond the perimeter of the repair. |
|
STEP #3 Allow heat to penetrate for 7-10 minutes. To insure proper heating time, check the surface temperature of the asphalt at 7 min. and every minute thereafter using an IR thermometer. |
|
STEP #4 Remove the heater, and rake softened asphalt. |
|
STEP #5 Spray a maltines rejuvenator onto the heated area. This will replace some of the light oils that have oxidized out over time. |
|
STEP #6 Add fresh asphalt from the reclaimer and lute to correct grade. |
|
STEP #7 The repair is ready to be rolled. |
|
STEP #8 Compact the repair using a vibratory roller. Be sure to roll the edges first to fuse the repaired area with the heated but untouched surrounding pavement. |
|
STEP #9 Although the color is different, the finished repair is now an integral part of the existing road. |
