How to Repair Cracked Road Markings

Repairing broken road markings is very important to maintain road safety. Here are the steps to repair cracked road markings.

1. Clean the area around the damaged marking: Use a pressure washer or brush to remove any dirt, debris, and loose paint around the crack.

2. Priming: Priming the cracked area to help the patching material adhere to the road surface.

3. Apply the repair material to the cracked area: It could be a thermoplastic, or cold plastic, depending on the type of road markings.

4. Smooth out the repair material: Use a trowel or a putty knife to smooth out the repair material and make it level with the surrounding road surface. This will help to prevent any bumps that could cause harm to the drivers.

5. Allow the repair material to dry completely: Please follow the manufacturer's instructions for the drying time.

6. Check the repair: After the repair material is dried thoroughly, make sure it is flat and smooth. If necessary,apply another layer of maintenance material.
