The objective of this research project was to determine where, when, and why a prime or cure is needed for a pavement layer. Some materials can be used for multiple purposes, such as to prime, bond, or help cure; however, the rates and timing of use may change depending on why the material is being used. Guidance is needed to help designers, inspec
