Heat, mix, and apply the crack sealing and filling materials as recommended by the sealant manufacturer. Submit a copy of the manufacture’s recommendations to the CO prior to the start of work.

Prepare cracks between 1/4 inch and 1 inch and apply sealant by one of the following methods:

• Crack Sealing - Rout and clean all cracks between 1/4 inch and 1 inch wide. Rout cracks to produce a reservoir with straight ½ inch vertical walls and a 1 1/2 inch wide flat bottom. Use a low-modulus rubberized asphalt. Completely fill the routed cross section flush with the pavement surface.

• Crack Filling - Clean the crack between 1/4 inch and 1 inch wide. Prepare cracks to a depth of at least three times the crack width. Ensure crack sealing materials penetrates more than twice the crack width.

For cracks between 1/2 inch and 1 inch where sealant penetrates more than two times the crack width, use a backer rod.

For cracks with a width greater than or equal to 1 inch, clean and fill flush to the existing surface with asphalt mix according to Section 401, 402, 403, 404, or 417.

For cracks less than ¼ inch wide, clean and fill with CSS-1, SS-1, or joint sealant. Apply a sealant band less than 2 inches over the crack, such that the crack is centered under the band. Submit a copy of, and adhere to, the manufacture’s recommendations for heating and applying the joint sealant.

Clean cracks with a stream of air to remove all dirt, dust, or deleterious matter adhering to the crack walls or remaining in the crack cavity so that the crack is clean and dry when the sealant is applied.

Blow or brush dry material off the pavement surface. Avoid damage to the adjacent pavement.

Use approved methods to protect all seal materials from being picked up by traffic. Treat seal material tracked onto the road surface as directed by the CO.
