[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 54095, member: 1916"] Bitumen is mixed with kerosene to make it flowable when heated and stick to the stone in the case of a spray seal. Same for asphalt with the exception that the aggregate is mixed in with the bitumen in a batch plant first. The kero usually evaporates, but in the case of rain soon after laying some will make its way to wherever gravity takes the rain. Kero is similar in nature to shale oil and eucalyptus oil, they will all create a rainbow slick. Even the bitumen cometh from the earth, black gold it is called. [/QUOTE]
