A lit heat lance readied for heat preparation.

Preparing the pavement with heat dries it where necessary, softens the asphalt binder, and exposes fresh binder with which the sealant can bond.

Especially if the pavement is wet, an optional procedure is to use a heat lance to heat/dry the pavement. However, the heat lance operator must be careful not to burn the pavement, which will deplete the oils necessary for flexibility and cause even more damage.

Next Step: Flush-Filling
