7.1.3 Reseals

Surfaces are prepared by sweeping and by patching any defects. Patching of existing pavements should be done well in advance of sprayed sealing work and should attempt to match the surface texture of the surrounding seal. Where patching creates large variations in surface texture a small‑sized correction or regulation seal or microsurfacing may be needed.
