Troubleshooting
Applying Material
Problem
Ragged line edges when extruding
Rough material surface when extrud-
ing
EXAMPLES:
Correct line application will produce a full straight line with sharp edges; correct color,
thickness and width; a firm bond to the surface; and have uniform reflectivity.
Insufficient adhesion (material bulges
at beginning of line)
Rough and bumpy line
Gas bubbles in line

Cause
Dirty screed box
Cold material temperatures
Marking speed too fast
Material thickness too think
Overheated material
Moisture on road surface
Rough road surface
Screed box low on material
