When they do asphalt they lay down what they call a tack layer. It helps the asphalt adhere to the road bed. Problem is when the pavers lay down the asphalt, their tires pick up about half of the tack layer. They go merrily down the highway heating those tires up and hit a red light and the tack layer, now liquefied from the heat of the tires puddles at the intersection. DaveN another useless bit of info to tuck away never to be used again
