If the material was not dry traffic would lift and track down the road

I do this for a living

In my opinion the reason it blacked out was because of the lack of reflective beads

Cure time is essential but it doesnt take long to cure.

This is a part of my field of work. That's thermoplastic, not paint. It should cool in about two minutes, which is why they didn't leave it taped off. As to it getting dirty and marked, that's always going to happen with a job hits the filthy tires of traffic. It's heartbreaking, but is only a problem if the stuff gets scraped off or peeled up.

Check out ennispaint-dot-com for more info on materials used for traffic markings. The chcemistry of this stuff is cool if you stop to think about it.
