Crack sealing is perhaps the least expensive method to extend the life of asphalt pavement. For more challenging cracks (and even some more challenging distresses), mastic is a material that can provide excellent bonding and pavement sealing. • Crack preparation is essential for good bonding. While many cracks can be effectively prepared with an air compressor (and perhaps a hot air lance), some can benefit from crack routing for the most uniform bond. • We were fortunate to have Crafco at the 2024 Roadway Management Conference (an annual effort by the Mid-Atlantic Region of LTAP and T2 Centers, including WV, VA, PA, MD, and DE) in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where they demonstrated mastic for us. Many of the cracks were prepared with their newest crack router, a tremendous improvement over the traditional walk-behind models you may have seen. • The Delaware T2/LTAP Center provides direct technical assistance, training, and technology transfer to Delaware local agencies relative to their transportation challenges. • https://sites.udel.edu/dct/t2-center/ • / delawaret2
