Description

Using Bitumen Quick Sticks is simple. There’s no mixing or heavy machinery required. Just melt a small portion of the stick with a hand torch or another heat source, and apply it where you need it. The rest of the stick stays solid, making it easy to store and transport. This adhesive is perfect for concrete, asphalt, and other paved surfaces.

Estimated application rates for this product are:

2 ½ inch by 4 ½ inch Rectangular Marker – 30 uses per stick.
4-inch Round/Square Marker – 20 uses per stick.
8-inch Round Marker – 6 uses per stick.
8-inch Safe-Hit Base Marker – 6 uses per stick.

How to Use:

Bitumen should be installed on clean, dry pavement when the surface temperature is at least 50°F. If the desired surface is cooler than 50°F, the manufacturer recommends gently warming it with an open flame or heat lance before attempting installation. Clear the area of dirt and debris before application.
Sandblasting or grinding may be necessary to remove oil stains and existing markings.

Bituminous marker adhesive can be re-heated multiple times if necessary; repeated heating will not cause the product to degrade. However, overheating the adhesive may cause it to become stiff, ultimately leading to a weaker bond between the traffic marker and the chosen surface.

Please exercise caution when using this—or any other—heat-applied material. Direct exposure to heated bitumen can cause burns and other injuries, while inhaling fumes can lead to respiratory distress, nausea, and headaches. Always wear appropriate safety equipment and work in a well-ventilated area.
