Is it better to cut asphalt wet or dry?

• <div><p>Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs. </p></div>

Q: What are common asphalt issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include cracks, potholes, and drainage issues. Regular maintenance prevents major damage.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals repair cracks before sealing?

• <div><p>Yes, they fill all cracks and potholes to ensure a smooth, durable finish that protects the underlying asphalt.</p></div>

Q: How long does recycled asphalt take to harden?

• <div><p>It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It&rsquo;s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between asphalt and blacktop?

• <div><p>The main difference between asphalt and blacktop is that asphalt has a lower ratio of bitumen&mdash;a low-grade tar-like crude oil&mdash;than blacktop. While blacktop is heated to 300 degrees or more, hot-mix asphalt is heated to a lower temperature, typically between 275 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
