mastic asphalt

[@jasetheace43]

i started asphalteing 30 years ago i only did 5 years and moved to malta i been here ever since but i went back last year just to see if i could still do it after 25 years it was like i was never off the tools gotta love the asphalte

[@mal334455]

i was second spreader in an Ashphalt gang for 5 years back in the early 80s in Birmingham,although this guy has done a nice clean job it should be 2 coats always,the buckets should be swilled with lime powder so the Mastic will tip nice and even....but all in all a great video

[@paulashton143]

Using a skirting float on the flat..no dust in the bucket..and chucking the sand on after every lap...ffs....cant wait to see these lads on abit of vertical 😂😂😂

[@paulashton143]

[@chippmedler]

[@williamcushway555]

At least they took the time to put a skimmer around the edge to make it look like two coats 🤣

[@mal334455]

i worked for brindley ashphalt in the early 80s and we still had an old coke mixer on the firm which was used when very busy,fantastic on cold mornings cooking food,,untill one morning when we arrived at 7-30 to find the mixerman panicking and shouting that kids had pulled the banjo mixer door open and emtied thge 3 ton mixer on the road ,fire brigade and police every where...

[@TheChindian05]

[@TheChindian05]

My supervisor had half of his index finger cut off in a previous accident. At the end of our work day we needed five more buckets of mastic to complete the job. He signaled the potman with the wrong hand.... the potman sent up four and a half buckets, turned off the pot and left!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!
