Is it easier to do the application like that verse the spread with a broom?

[@Asphalt_Cowboy_815]

Most sealcoating contractors have very little experience with gilsonite, but it is a better product than coal tar and asphalt emulsion. Most sealcoating contractors have very little knowledge of all of the asphalt maintenance options. Every bulk sealer salesman I have ever talked to always talks down gilsonite. When I ask if they have ever seen core samples of asphalt sealed with gilsonite they always say no. Gilsonite will actually penetrate the asphalt (providing it hasn't already been sealed with coal tar or asphalt emulsion) and help rejuvenate it. Yes some contractors will dilute gilsonite with gas. But guess what, I've seen dozens and dozens of projects sealed with watered down black water coal tar. Bottom line, sealcoating is bottom of the food chain in regards to asphalt maintenance. And this contractor did a professional job.

I can actually seal without Taping as well. Spraying has been done on residential driveways at least in Ontario Canada for well over 30 years. Majority of sealer used is oil based due to harsh winters we have some companies also offer water based sealer and squeeqy applied etc. There is a better product available you might be thinking of that is harder to apply to residential uses higher pressure sand mix (polytar) much more expensive and no one residential is paying for it at this time.

hello, I really enjoyed your video. It was very well done with someone else recording and perfectly edited cutting off the all time working in each step. I work for a masonry company in CT, in the office, and in order for me to make an estimate, I have to anderstand the whole work processe to find a clear and detailed description. I have whached a lot of long and boring videos for this purpose, for this reason I never have made a comment. So, I just want to let you know that I m glad I found your chanel. Your video use the necesary time to explain every step, well explaned!! thank you, as I said, I really enjoyed it wile It made my job easier . Well done!

Can you apply this product with a squeegy?

[@danw5157]

I couldn't help notice when you spray the edge where the grass is, it blows debris onto the driveway. Wouldn't it be better to brush the edges?

[@JeffLepard]

It normally doesn't do this but there was a few mistakes we made during the filming of the video. We were showing clips in sections. We are making a new driveway sealing video this week and it will be on my new channel: kzbin.info

[@pavingcompaniesinct3786]

Hey Jeff, I like how detailed and thorough you were with your preparation before applying the sealer on the driveway. Glad to see you took the time to apply the crack filler as most seal coating companies never bother doing that....way to mask off finished areas dude. :-)

[@JeffLepard]

Thanks for the compliment I appreciate it! You're right, most companies don't offer crack repair.

[@pavingcompaniesinct3786]

I've been sealcoating for years. I would like to warn people that thr sealer plants have multiple types of sealcoat and some of which will give your skin terrible chemical burns. Wear protective equipment, we used to spray coal tar and would wear a spray suit, a spray sock for our face and clear safety glasses.

[@JeffLepard]

There are so many types of sealers out there and some more harmful than others. Either way you are correct you should always use protection especially breathing!

Hi Jeff. Very informative videos that you post and great work. Just seen this sealing post and are interested in your set up that you have on the back of your truck. Have you anymore details regarding this? Pump, motor, sprayer etc and does it make a difference whether you spray an oil based or water based sealer through your set up? Many thanks

[@royberroa6514]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I also would like to know what equipment you used for this job. Thnks

[@JeffLepard]

Thanks for watching! The set up I have currently is a 100 gallon tank with an Albion pump meant to spray only oil based sealer. These pumps and set up are locally made in Cobourg ON and are one of the most popular set ups.

[@cgiles9086]

Is concrete sealing common amongst residential and commercial clients in your area? Concrete’s expensive to put down but will last much longer with a good water resistant sealing on top that keeps it from cracking or eroding any earlier than it should.

[@stx3151]

Where can I find more info about your equipment. I do mobile pressure washing and striping looks very interesting

[@JeffLepard]

The spraying system I'm using is from Cobourg Ontario. You can buy the full set up there or from one of their other suppliers in Mississauga.

[@stx3151]

Thanks for the quick reply that’s a little far? Do you know of any other industry brands to look into? Located in south Texas

[@JeffLepard]

I will have to look into that for you. I know each city or state where you are uses different sealers. There is a huge facebook group for sealing and has all kinds of information there. I will see if I can find out that for you.

[@seangarrison7942]

Ive used multiple brands and types, but no sealer has held up like Brewer Cote sealer. Have one jobs i used pull method on the brush and tampico head and that drive looked as good 6-7 years later as it did after i applied it. It also used up lil over two times the sealer as normal. Nothing is wrong with oil based sealers they are actually better for up north in Canada , Alaska where cold is longer and harsher, they are less good further you go south. In the south i found Asphalt bitumen based sealers are better and in the middle 70 % coal tar does it best. Sealer can be sprayed to be actually as good if not better than brush applied but you wont find 1 in a 1k companies able or willing to do it.

[@JeffLepard]

I'm always interested in knowing the different sealers people are using out there! I agree different sealers will perform differently in different weather and environments. Some sealers up here are using a PolyTar which is agitated with sand. It apparently lasts longer however when you line paint on top of it you can only use water based paints and the paint will only last about 6 months. I've never used it though.

[@seangarrison7942]

@@JeffLepard when striping with water based if want to last you need to work little harder. Stripe the lot out with a light coat, then go back over it 2x more. Wait till fully dry before each additional coat

[@JeffLepard]

@@seangarrison7942 That is true, especially with newly paved parking lots. I prefer to use Oil based traffic paint most of the time!

Hey Jeff do you thin out your oil base sealer? If so how do you cut it, I am curious because I was always a water base sealer kinda guy but I switched to oil base recently. Let me know.

[@jaco7675]

Interesting. Never seen it sprayed-on before. Looks good. Wondering how long that lasts compared to squeegeeing it. (Btw, I like the Canadian “a-yout.”).

[@JeffLepard]

Driveways you normally get about 2 years protection value most clients seal every 2 years some do every year. Squeegeeing your getting a thicker product no doubt about that. Most of the applications done here even on commercial properties are sprayed. Some sealers are using a poly tar mix which is mixed with sand. That application you can't spray on a driveway the pressure is too high and the spray width is huge. You gotta love our accents Eh! LOL

[@joegalindo80]

@@JeffLepard seal master had drivable seal coat tanks that are made specifically for squeegeeing, it sprays with sand in tank (nozzles are bigger for applying sealer ) and has an agitator that keeps the grade 5 sand from settling

[@richmackin8627]

Nice clean but u have to clean with soap any oil stains ,because it repels oil ,so that means it won't adhear to any oil stains and it looks spotty on the finish

[@JeffLepard]

That is true. Oil will penetrate everything. Since we are using an oil based product we never use water or soap on the driveway otherwise we can't seal it. Most of my customers will wash their driveway before I show up to seal it so it's nice and dry for us. If the driveway is too badly damaged we will offer to repair the area otherwise there wouldn't be any warranty on top of oil.

Whats an experienced professionals opinion on using a pressure washer to clean the driveway? Maybe instead of brush and leaf blower. Or in conjunction with leaf blower to dry the water a bit faster

[@JeffLepard]

Pressure washing is always the best option however if you are sealing right after you will have to wait till is dries to seal it. I have many home owners that pressure wash or even use a hose and wash down their driveway prior to me showing up.

Is it really when spraying sealcoating can accidentally be sprayed of unwanted surfaces, doors or cars etc? Because there are some people say you can easily damage property if there is some wind.

Yes that is true Wind is your enemy for sure. You have to be aware of how windy it is and how strong the wind is. If there is no wind then you should be fine with experience.

I do sealcoating in Kentucky and our sprayers couldn't be used on that driveway. We broom all driveways unless they are very long.

[@kal8793]

What do you charge for something like this. Do you charge per sq ft and what do you charge for crack filling. I am just starting out. Love you videos.

[@JeffLepard]

Depends on where abouts you live it varies in pricing and depending on the type of sealer used. Residential you can charge either by sq' or a standard size. For example in Toronto a standard size driveway (2 cars) avg is about $150 with no repairs. Crack repairs you can charge anywhere from $1-2 per foot on avg.

And on top of that hes using oil based sealer you moron. Any oil is om the driveway is not gomna effect oil based product

[@JeffLepard]

Thanks for watching! If I wasn't doing my job correctly I probably would be out of business but I'm still in business for over 16 years. If a driveway is in need of pressure washing that would have to be done long before we arrive since we are using an oil based sealer the asphalt cannot be wet. The home owner can choose to prep that before we come or if they want us to do that for them it would be done prior to a sealing day at an extra charge. For a standard 2 car driveway if a sealing company had to pressure wash and seal every driveway they would be out of business in no time. For the time it takes to pressure wash 1 driveway with set up and packing up I can have 4-5 driveways sealed by that time. Most driveways I come across may only have minor oil stains. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
