Can somebody describe conditions and restrictions after installation? That is, does it smell for days, can it be driven on immediately, does it stick to tires and get into garages, etc? — Preceding

A properly constructed ship seal should not have the drawbacks you mentioned. An emulsion binder will not produce strong odors, although cutback asphalts contain solvents which may be odorous. If the right type and amount of emulsion is used, it will set quickly and not track. However, things don't often go as planned.--Triskele Jim16:58, 16 June 2014 (UTC)reply
I find it horrible to ride a bicycle on chipseal due to the roughness of the surface which results in unpleasant vibration. Motorcyclists have told me the same.

Both "chipseal" and "chip seal" are commonly used in the industry, with "chipseal" perhaps being more common based on Google search results.--Triskele Jim16:38, 16 June 2014 (UTC)reply
