Q Interested in your infrared pothole machine. How does it work if I have an area bigger than 2 feet? Do you simply work in 2foot sections? Is there a recommended overlap? How high does old asphalt need to be to obtain a flush surface after tamping?
A Yes, if you have areas that are larger than 4 sq ft you would have to do multiple presses. Each press takes about 7 minutes and you can overlap 4 inches on each press. You generally add new asphalt or milling and hold it a half-inch higher than the aged asphalt. Once compacted it should be flush.
