Is paying a guy to sand, and buying sand, and a guy to drive a truck, and a guy to come to work, and a guy that knows what the fck sandig a crater even means...is that better than using rubber... or do i gotta be superman do it all. Sometimes it takes hours to fill sand on a lets say 20k linear ft job. Give the guy a break before you ruin his life with this comment.
Honestly Dave an this is no disrespect. Rubber Squeegees are better for overband. Cleaner look and smoother. I can pump and pull V like no other. Gimme a kettle an a stick an Im gone.
I would have heated up some asphalt, put it down into the cracks to build a foundation, then put all that rubber in there and black Beauty sand on top 👍
Question... how thick can you apply sealer? To the point where you won't see crack sealer ad blemishes underneath? Great videos. Paver just laid my asphalt driveway too thick and left ripple cracks under pressure of the roller and a few porous areas not well compacted. I'm afraid it will crumble in that area. Thanks.
@@jaygee6983 too much hot asphalt laid in one pass caved in under the pressure of the roller causing cracking. Should be 2 inches at a time. He laid 5-6 inches at a time in some spots so he wouldn't have to come back. Will do better due diligence next time.
I’m not sure if I would blame it on being applied too thick. I would say he either compacted it too much, or compacted it while it was no longer hot enough
Those cracks should have never been filled. They were way to large and were likely a sign of large problems underneath. That section should have been removed, the sub base repaired and new asphalt laid down. Probably not the expense the client wants, but it will have to be done eventually. Do it now and it will cost far less than if you wait. If you had to fill those, you should have used a backer material to fill the cracks before you put in the hot sealer.
You answered your own question. There is no "owner". It is a church. You can go donate $$$$ to every church that needs this. Otherwise this is a functional fix that will prevent cars from being damaged as they drive.
Shouldn't cracks this wide be sealed with mastic? I mean work with what you got I guess, but hot rubber isn't ideal for anything wider than like an inch.
