Thermoplastic playground markings on poor quality tarmac

Thermoplastic playground markings are usually placed on good quality  new tarmac but sometime we have to install on poor quality tarmac. This is  not a big problem for first4playgrounds and we can still have great results.The process involves more preparation of the surface . Below is pictures of the process involved

First we brush the loose tarmac away to create a smooth tarmac surface.We then dry it  using a gas burner to make sure there is no moisture left on the surface of the tarmac .

All moss and mud is removed from the tarmac with a wire brush, this process can sometimes produce more moisture which is then burnt away with the gas burner .

Finally we use a compound primer on the area where the markings will be placed.Once the primer is dry we lay the Thermoplastic markings onto the tarmac and heat the markings until they have firmly adhered to the tarmac.
