If the pavement is bone dry, then you will need to pre-wet it with water. Use a water cart or a spray unit capable of delivering a uniform spray to the surface of the pavement. Complete a test area spraying to calibrate the flow and speed of vehicle to get the specified amount of product onto the pavement. Pre-shaping the road and using a roller on site to follow behind the water cart will give your treatment longevity and a smooth finish but is not generally required.
