Given that the best time to achieve the greatest density is when the mat is hottest, it makes sense to get as much compaction at the higher temperatures as possible. Scherocman says the best way to do that is to operate two rollers in echelon – side by side – down the mat. This enables the full width of the mat to be compacted while that mat is hottest.
