JOB STEPS STEP 2 - ADHESION Agitate the emulsion (shake the container), to ensure it is mixed well. Apply the emulsion evenly to the marked out area (Pic 5,6,7) & the back of the Road Patch (Pic 4) using a block brush, broom or Roller. Ensure coverage is even, leaving no uncovered areas or puddles of emulsion. Check the edges to ensure that they are evenly covered. Allow the emulsion to break on the pavement & the back of the Road Patch i.e. emulsion turns from brown to black and becomes very tacky. Ensure gloves and eye protection is worn during application.
