Sweeping, Vacuuming, And Cleaning Asphalt
After sweeping an asphalt surface, a shop vacuum cleaner’s hose can be used to suck up small pieces of asphalt that remain in the base of a small hole. Stains on asphalt can be removed with an asphalt cleaning agent and a scrub brush. If stains are severe, a scrub brush will need to be moved vigorously over them. A water hose can be used to rinse away a cleaning agent and any residue that is on an asphalt surface. Asphalt will need to air dry thoroughly.
Filling A Hole With Patch And Applying Sealer
A small shovel can be used to fill a hole with asphalt patch. Patch is a product that does not require that any extra materials are added to it. Once a hole is packed with sealer, a tamping tool can be used to press the fresh patch down in order to compact it. Patch will require several hours to dry before it can be sealed. Asphalt sealer can be poured into a wide paint tray before it is applied to a paved surface. A paint roller needs to be used to roll sealer evenly across pavement. After an initial coat has dried, a second coat can be added if desired.
Sealed asphalt will provide a patio with a uniform appearance. A sealed surface can be maintained with soapy water and a scrub brush.
