What's the usual cost to apply a chip seal on an existing pavement, instead of using thin overlays?
Merger proposal Information
Loose chippings are merely the result of a bad chipseal. I don't think they deserve a separate article.-- 'Triskele Jim ( talk) 17:04, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- On further reflection, I recalled that raveling causes loose chips as well, so I'm voting against my own proposal. -- 'Triskele Jim ( talk) 02:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Post-installation Information
Can somebody describe conditions and restrictions after installation? That is, does it smell for days, can it be driven on immediately, does it stick to tires and get into garages, etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmatxx ( talk • contribs) 17:31, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- A properly constructed ship seal should not have the drawbacks you mentioned. An emulsion binder will not produce strong odors, although cutback asphalts contain solvents which may be odorous. If the right type and amount of emulsion is used, it will set quickly and not track. However, things don't often go as planned.-- Triskele Jim 16:58, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- I find it horrible to ride a bicycle on chipseal due to the roughness of the surface which results in unpleasant vibration. Motorcyclists have told me the same. John Link ( talk) 22:48, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

The page name is one word, but the usage in the article is two words. Which is it? -- Khajidha ( talk) 12:21, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- Both "chipseal" and "chip seal" are commonly used in the industry, with "chipseal" perhaps being more common based on Google search results.-- Triskele Jim 16:38, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
