Tar and Chip Driveways Paving
Grinder it has to be something to stretch a resource with something cheap put a name on it and keep the same price.
The asphalt found in grindings will not track into your house any more than the asphalt from your paved driveway however if it is loose on top it will come in just as dirt does.
Water based sealers would be something city people would want so they can clean up their tools with out a solvent.
Oil based sealers are an emlusion of asphalt and some other products that keep it all in suspension. Our people buy cheap tools and heave them. Some of the specility tools are cleaned with fuel.

I was only kidding about stretching the product.(mainers have a dry sense of humor) I'm not sure why they do it, other than what I mentioned. I'm curious now, there is a retired gentleman here in town I'll ask, he may know. I'll
get back to you if I find another reason.
I went with the asphalt base after a little web research
it made the most sense,asphalt needs asphalt to keep it from drying out? And that the water base products are a barrier coating, laying on the surface. Would you agree
with my laymans definition?

Tar and Chip Driveways Paving
we did about six miles of old gravel roads with chip seaql. They lay down type 80, then spred 3/4 stone, roll it, spread down type 70, lay dwon 1/2 inch stone, roll it, then type 70 again and lay down 1/4 chip stone. It sounds like a long process, but reqlly isn't. Of course we dealt with a company (All State) that this is all they do. As far as chip sealing, (3 stone layers) over well used gravel roads, this all I would ever do again. On previous highway budgets, some gravel roads were paved over with asphalt.. Come winter/spring season, many had stones come up and tear the asphalt which means pot holes anad pot hole patches.. With a gravel road that is chip sealed, if a stone comes up, 99% of the time, it does not tear, but rather moves like an elastic band. Only down side found with this system is the first four or so days. If a young teen wnats to "burn out" on newly laid chip seal, it can cause immediate erosion of product. If no one burns out first four days, you will get many years service from the chip seal system..

Grinder I'd have to agree. I guess the trick is getting a good bond. I have seen 1" asphalt overlays with trapped water from poor pavement below. You'll notice a round pot hole 1-2" deep with a smooth level bottom...
I have to ask our lab engineers about the blend. We are a small company and our lab rats work with us on a daily basis.
The company web site has a snap shot of each area.
