Cape seals require a chip seal before placement of the slurry seal. The chip seal is small rock imbedded in a sticky liquid asphalt coating. Before placement of the final slurry seal (which is part of the cape seal), some of these small rocks may become loose. The contractor will schedule street sweeping to address this loose rock on the road. Once the slurry seal is placed, the rock will be covered and will no longer become loose.
