If you've seen it done faster its probably a different material. This is thermoplastic. Its 400 degrees. Paint or polyurethane can either roll on or spray on because they are applied at a much lower temperature. What is being thrown are tiny sand like beads of glass that stick to the plastic as it is melted and begins cooling to a hardened state once applied. The glass beads work to make the arrow reflect a vehicle's headlights. The beads were blown off at the end to prevent vehicle tires from losing control. That machine he is using is called a handliner and the 400 degree material is loaded into it from that truck you see next to them which maintains TONS of material continuously melting at 400 degrees. This job is not for the weak. Any off that thermo gets on your skin it will literally melt your skin off. Its 400 degree white lava. Did i mention this machine weighs 300 pounds WHEN EMPTY. He's pushing weight ALL FUCKING NIGHT.
When I worked pavement some 50 years ago, we'd slap down a plywood arrow stencil and one man poured in paint while the other spread it with a long-handled roller. We'd be done in 30 seconds and pick up the stencil and move on. No pricey equipment. I guess we didn't know any better.
Too much money to be made these days. Many years ago a road was dug up so a utility company could do some work.Then another co came by to collect all the rubbish.Another co came to put safety barriers around the hole.A week later a diff co came to fill in the hole.The safety barrier co then came to collect their barriers. A week or so later the exact spot in the road was dug up for another utility company😂😂😂😂👍🇮🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺
We used to use this handliner back in the day. We use a different model but same concept. 50 bucks or more per hour. Plus paid winters off. Love my job.
First guy placed the stencil, second guy picks it up, moves it, puts it down, and then picks it up puts it right back where the first guy set it. What’s up with that?
Just bought a couple pro melters for doing minor work around intersections after utility companies break ground where are you guys getting your metal stencils from are they custom-made I noticed you have the same types on the trucks that are around here was just wondering if you guys ordered them from somewhere
Only thing i see could b more efficient for operator is casting beads. Can you not "drag" the automatic beader at the end of a pass so u dont have to hand cast? And 2nd pass on head...y hand cast at end of 2nd pass when 3rd pass covers it? I do things a little different but your arrow looks good brother.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to do that by hand?. No need for expensive equipment. 1 or 2 men and a truck. Maybe that's too simple and all the bosses wouldn't make $millions? 👍🇮🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺

😁 called working with toddlers.
Nice well kept equipment
BRILLIANT!
That’s my dad
I work with you dad at pci. I must say, your dad is real cool peeps
You should be proud. Working out in traffic can be dangerous sometimes.
That's your Mum.
Thats was so satisfying to watch!
That’s my baby daddy!! 😃 your work has always been on point. You’re such a dedicated worker! Keep up the good work.
Baby daddy 🤣🤣🤣
Nice work!
Stick with him.

Nice sharp work. Thanks for the video.
Congratulaciones súper mens
That's right Frank!!! Thats my boy right there :)
None other than Frank .great work.
What is that you use for the straight edge on your arrows? I’m trying to get away from using foil back tape
Where can I get those stencils?
What is that powder that’s thrown onto it?
Beads it’s for reflection
@@adamcanningvlogs3608 thanks!

Glass. A nice thing to have blowing around in nature.

Cocaine... it's part of the city's effort to reduce the homeless population by attracting them onto the street to get run over.
Atlanta turn arrows: “Not yet….not yet…..still too early….little closer to the intersectionnnnnnnnnnnNOW!”
I'd like to have a go some day
Bet that cart would be great for doing graffiti 👍😄
and they charge the city/state anywhere from 350$-600$ for that arrow. A lot of money in this stuff trust me I do it.
Any good for doing burgers?
Depends, how do you like your flame grilled road kill?
Lots of haters in the comment section... Wtf. 🙄
thats you
How long does it last 10minutes?
How long does it last 4minutes51seconds?
That is so quick i was first
Tristian Gibson lol
instead of placing a board with a drawn template and painting it, they paint one sign for several minutes😂
What took so long? 😂
Looks like Frank doing his thing
Carajo !
Seen videos without the heavy equipment using one man and an applicator.
PS: Take a look how the Swedish do lines/ Arrows.
They went THAT A WAY ---------------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A machine for that humm should be doing those freehand
Just work alone?

I’m sorry to blow your bubble. I’ve seen people do this with a roller in less than 90 seconds
That's not thermoplastic that's just paint
Not with hot plastic you didn’t.
My striping company I work for rn could finish this all in a minutes😭 I’m not so sure what the hype is about😂
What a waste. A whole arrow template will do the job much quicker.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to do that by hand?.
No need for expensive equipment.
1 or 2 men and a truck.
Maybe that's too simple and all the bosses wouldn't make $millions?

Sloppy work, look at the point at the top of the head where he didn't line it up right, we do it much better in th UK... just sayin
Typical no-care city employees. Lousy lines are not what people paying exorbitant gas taxes want to see.
It's actually being done by a private company, but it's being done to CALDOT's typical half vast standards.
Sorry, mate. But I've seen it done smarter and faster.
Not done by foreigners obviously.
@@OneOfThoseTypes
Don't know what your point is, Bub - I saw it in Italy.
@@Peter_Riis_DK Then it would have been completely automated.

No.
@@Peter_Riis_DK LOL, I seriously doubt that.
