Step 1 - Heating The Crude Oil
The main part of driveway asphalt is the crude oil. This oil is typically the
remnants left after the processing of oil has been completed. Crude oil is
very thick when it has cooled, so it has to be heated in order to be used. A
furnace is the best place to heat it in, but an oven will also work if you are
only patching driveway asphalt. Place the crude oil in a metal drum and
inside the furnace (kiln or oven) and heat it to 300-degrees Fahrenheit. At
this temperature, the oil begins to loosen up and can be poured.
