Ragged edges and gaps in line • Material temperature is too low
• Thermolazer
™
speed is too fast
• Raise material temperature
• Wait for change in ambient condi-
tions to remove moisture
• Reduce Thermolazer
™
speed
Swollen rounded line • Material temperature is too high • Lower material temperature
Material shadows on sides • Uneven road surface
• Die is not evenly riding on sub-
strate
• Apply to even road surfaces
• Remove debris from screed box
lever rod
• Inspect/replace damaged screed
box lever rod/lever arm
Line is wavy • Strong road surface camber
• Incorrect Thermolazer
™
operation
• Apply so camber does not influ-
ence application
• Use correct application methods
(for example, try locking swivel
wheel)
Cracks in line • Cracks in road surface
• Temperature stress from
overheating
• Material applied too cold
• Material applied too thin
• Repair cracks
• Lower temperature in material
• Increase material temperature
• Slow Thermolazer
™
speed to
apply thicker material
Rough edges and lines in surface • Material temperature is too low
• Material is overheated or scorched
• Moisture in road surface
• Raise material temperature
• Lower material temperature
• Wait until road surface is dry
Jagged line ends; material drips
between lines
• Die does not fully close
• Debris caught in die
• Worn die gate
• Worn die trough
•Broken spring
• Clean die
• Clear debris from die
• Replace die gate
• Replace die trough
• Replace spring
