Pallet of 1 inch QUIK JOINT Asphalt Crack Tape

Directions

Pavement must be clean, dry and free of dust prior to application of QuikJoint over-banding compound. Desired pavement temperature should be 40º F (4.4ºC) and rising. Heat may be applied directly to pavement to dry and warm surface area to increase adhesion. For best results fill cracks wider than 1/16 inch with an approved crack filler level with pavement surface.

1. Peel and Separate approximately one foot of the white release paper from the over-banding joint compound.

2. Position and Press the exposed compound (underside) at the front of the joint to be sealed and adhere to the pavement by applying pressure. Continue to separate the white release liner while rolling, positioning and pressing the compound over the entire joint to be sealed. Once the entire work area has been covered; cut the the material with a straight edge and return roll to its original package.  (It is not necessary to remove the clear plastic film on the topside of the material).

3. Apply heat directly to the product (the clear plastic film will burn off) using a propane torch (suggested 2” diameter torch head or larger). Constantly and repeatedly move flame over the compound material until liquefaction occurs (this will happen almost immediately). The material must be heated so that all the clear plastic has been melted and the compound is liquefied (melted) and bonded to the surface. Do not apply excessive heat causing the materials to burn or run off.

The material will set up quickly and the joint is permanently sealed . Within minutes the area may be top coated with sand or sealer or opened for traffic. Properly dispose of any waste materials.

Warning

A torch head will remain hot for sometime after usage, do not allow it to come into contact with body.

Note

QuikJoint is an over banding material fabricated and manufactured to seal pavement joints. It is not designed to bridge cracks or act as a structural membrane. When used to over band cracks; the cracks shall be filled prior to applying QuikJoint. Cracks may be filled using QuikFill or other approved crack fillers. An optional method is to cut strips of QuikJoint and position these strips over the crack to be filled and apply heat to flow material into the opening. Fill crack to surface level with approved crack filler. Proceed to over band the crack by following the above directions one through three.

Storage

QuikJoint must be stored indoors at temperatures not to exceed 120º F (48.89º C). When re-packaging the roll take caution to use the glossy dividers provided to keep rolls separated from each other and any other materials.
