To prepare sealed asphalt samples follow the procedure below:
1. Fill the sample pan to within 0.25 inches of the top. Refer to
Chapter 4 for preparing calibration samples.
2. Apply a bead of “siliconized acrylic latex caulk” around the
edge of the asphalt sample pan.
3. Place the 0.032 in (1 mm) aluminum cover plate down on
top of the caulking. Gently press down to seal the sample.
4. Spread a bead of caulk around the edge of the pan on top of
the plate.
5. Inspect the sample and seal any visible gaps, cracks or holes.
