Clean all cracks designated for sealing of loose and foreign matter. Use a hot lance to perform this cleaning. Use this wand to both clean and dry the crack just prior to sealing.

Do not place any sealant without the prior approval of the Engineer. The Engineer will inspect all cracks.

The face of the crack shall be surface dry, and the ambient and Pavement temperatures shall both be at least 45 °F and rising at the time of application of the sealant.

Install the sealant so that the in-place sealant is well bonded to the Pavement and free of voids or entrapped air.

Seal the cracks from the bottom up in a neat manner, so that upon completion of the Work the surface of the sealant material is flush to 3/16 inch below the adjacent Pavement surface (leaving no lip that can be caught with a snowplow). Refill or "spot" all low areas before continuing Work.

Level sealant material flush to the surface with a 'V' shaped squeegee device. Squeegee the excess material so it does not exceed 1 1/2 inches on either side of the crack. If any sealant remains in the squeegee when the end of the crack is reached, distribute this excess material over the crack in a return motion.
