Roll over the asphalt layer with a steam roller. The steam roller will further compress and heat the recycled asphalt so it essentially melts together and then sets up to form a hardened surface as durable as new asphalt. Allow the asphalt to cure for at least 24 hours.2017-10-05
Does recycled asphalt get hard?
Recycled asphalt can harden over time, which some might assume is a benefit... but it's NOT! In a perfect world, if it were to harden evenly, recycled asphalt would be an excellent option. But unfortunately it doesn't harden evenly. Because of this, potholes can form that are virtually impossible to fix.
Can you seal asphalt millings?
Yes, you can. But this is not something that you can do on your own. Sealing asphalt millings requires a sealcoat spray system, so we recommend that you hire a contractor to seal the driveway for you.
How do I firm up my asphalt millings?
Once the asphalt millings are laid perfectly, a steamroller is used to compact it to get the best finish. After getting it properly compacted, the surface will harden quickly within a few days.2021-02-09
