Practice question
A tack coat is sprayed on a surface that still has visible dust and loose debris. What is the most likely result if paving continues without correction?

- Poor bond between layers that can contribute to slippage or delamination
- Higher in-place density because the surface is lubricated
- No effect because tack works through dirt
