What should be avoided to ensure proper bond during asphalt mixture application?

To ensure a proper bond during asphalt mixture application, it is crucial to avoid moisture on the surface. When water is present, it can act as a barrier between the asphalt and the underlying layer, leading to inadequate adhesion. This lack of bond can result in problems such as stripping, delamination, or early wear of the pavement surface.

Additionally, moisture can cause the asphalt to lose its effectiveness in adhering to the surface, ultimately affecting the longevity and performance of the roadway. Therefore, maintaining a dry surface is essential for achieving the best results during the asphalt application process.
