STEP SEVEN : Add or remove materials as needed — New asphalt can be added and mixed in , ensuring the asphalt is then graded to the proper level .
STEP EIGHT : Lute the repair area — Luting freshly placed hot mix asphalt will make a difference . Luting is like raking , but where raking is moving mounds of material , luting is the “ fine tuning ” of the asphalt mat . It involves taking off the stone and manipulating the mat to eliminate imperfections .
STEP NINE : Compact the repair area — Once the repair area ’ s new hot mix asphalt is added and thoroughly mixed , the area is compacted with a multi-ton vibratory roller or plate , to create a seamless patch . Compact the edge area first is best .
STEP TEN : Clean the repair area after complete — Open to straight drive over traffic when the finished cleaning is completed , but wait 45- to 60-minutes for turning traffic .
Due to the heat penetration of infrared rays , asphalt can be repaired and reclaimed without risk of burning , scaling , or separating the asphalt from the aggregate itself . Mixing the existing asphalt with new material results in a seamless repair , which prevents moisture damage by eliminating the possibility of joints which can allow water to seep into the repair .
“ The key features of infrared include that the process leaves sealed watertight joints for longer durability of the patch , requires less equipment on site , and it is a quieter and less intrusive repair process .”
With fewer raw materials needed , this method of asphalt repair is more cost-effective . Infrared repair is also a more time-effective process than other repairs , since it takes less time to patch and the resulting repair can be driven on almost immediately .
