How To Seal A Concrete Driveway - New or Old (With Power Sprayer)

[@danno55328]

The very first step we take a few days ahead of time is to thoroughly clean the slab with a pressure washer. When spraying sealer on existing slabs we like to hit it with a roller to even out the coat and on small to medium sized driveways or patio’s it’s just as easy to pop the lid on the 5 gallon pail of sealer and dip the roller in and roll out the area. Depending on the sealer type it’s also a good idea to add some anti-slip additive to avoid a trip hazard when the slab is wet. Great job with adding relevant and interesting content, always a pleasure to watch.

For oil-based sealers, we do the same. But waterborne sealer like he's using, we spray. It's super forgiving, and goes on very level (as it's so thin being water based). Few techniques for our views

[@phigo4kins]

For 2 Months I've been trying to decide what to buy for My basement floor, all I see a lot of is epoxy flooring. I know I don't want that because I can tell it just sits on the concrete. I wanted something that would penetrate the concrete. But I also know that You can't use any product anywhere. And this seems like something that would suit My need. So I wanna know, can this product be used indoors? Or Are there any other Siliconate Penetrating Sealers that you can recommend for interior use? Thanks alot.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks!

[@GramCanyonSam]

That things wicked mint! It would be great on the commercial floors for cure , saves a good amount of energy over time and less wasting time refilling.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

You're right. Exactly why I made this video. Thank you!

[@davidhinson5010]

Wow, that backpack puts it down! Great job from NC keep it up!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

It does. You can spray 6 gallons in about a minute or two without stopping.

[@tyhansen8]

Which is better for a driveway lastiseal or just the RadonSeal?

[@Alessiothetruth]

I bought two of these and was looking to run solvent based acrylic. Any luck with that?

[@jontansgarage]

Can I use the same sprayer for pesticide/herbicide or do you need a more powerful sprayer?

[@13eejus]

ya works for that too, if you also use it for concrete just make sure you wash it out before spraying it on any plants

[@RyDeezy]

Now I just need you to move to my town in Florida :)

[@dand7451]

Hi, thank you for the video. Can you use the same sprayer for sealing pavers?

[@alejandrobardo97]

Could you spray acrylic sealer on aggregate with this? I don’t know much about sealing driveways but I found this video and think this is a super cool machine and I’m curious now

[@bch5513]

Time is money. Nice job

[@Banned4eva]

Is lastiseal safe to use with finer reinforced concrete?

[@markcentola2817]

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks Tom!

[@GetTheNet1963]

i have a sprinkler system that runs well water. Which is high in iron so i have areas with orange stains on concrete driveway/sidewalks. What is the best stuff to use to get these stains off? Will sealing the concrete help with keeping the stains off after i get them cleaned?

[@psidvicious]

CLR works pretty good for an ‘off-the-shelf’ product. We get a lot of that iron staining here in Florida with our shallow utility wells.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I've got a whole page about that here: www.everything-about-concrete.com/remove-rust-stain-from-concrete.html Check it out and let me know what you think.

[@kaptincrazy]

do you have a video where you fix a rough large garage/shop floor and then re-burnished or made it polished look? What do you recommend?

[@eliaco3]

Spraying sealer in the grass will damage it? Or spraying the seal on the garage door will left marks? How you do in that scenario?

[@GDWhiting]

How much a sqft can you charge for sealing up in Maine?

[@ericstaples7220]

Looks like it sprays on thick. Do you bother with a second coat?

[@hustlindaddiy5194]

Hi Mike. Love the content. We just moved into our home in Pennsylvania and the stamped concrete is in need of being sealed. Is it too late in the season to seal it?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Still got time. Got to be 50 degrees or warmer.

[@aconcretesealing2726]

Is it safe to use this tank with solvent based sealer, if so how do you clean tank and nozzle, xyline?

[@chrisheffernan6600]

He said NO in the video near the end. Only for water based solvents.

[@bradleymindt900]

What do u charge per sq foot. I live nd so I know it will be different

[@HouseWashingRick]

3 dollars a square foot 1200 × 3 that's what you charge

[@JohnSmith-gi7jw]

@@HouseWashingRick $3,600.00 really?

[@HouseWashingRick]

Yes sir, 3$ a square foot

[@cameronoverfield8764]

That thing works good!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

You can adjust the pressure on it too. It'll spray 25' if you want it to.

[@spookyd-ut6ce]

Do you need a license to do this type of work or can it be side work

[@dborules]

How much do you charge for something like this?

[@drbiased2375]

What is the purpose of what he's spraying? Is it a hydrophobic sealer or what?

[@logresmentotum7065]

Not a common job for me, but very cool as a possible tool. Thanks!

[@highvalleycowboy1]

Hey Mike, How much sqft do you average per gallon of sealer? Based in mfg 2100sqft should have been around 8-11 gallons. Just want to know what to plan on for coverage

Is this the best all around sealer to use? How long does it last?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

It's one of my favorite's yes, It'll last 10 years.

[@Kanesgarage]

Mike Day Everything About Concrete thank you. Do you like the glaze n seal as well? Just curious because I bought some of it but being lacquer based it’s harder to use

[@joaquinsantillan6257]

Can u spray half bleach/ half water?

[@13eejus]

yes, absolutely

[@travisg5417]

Do you typically use water based? Do you not have to back roll that? We use solvent based siloxane but had a couple problems with old concrete getting blotchy

[@MikeDayConcrete]

No back rolling with this, it soaks into the concrete and looks like it was never done.

[@travisg5417]

Mike Day Everything About Concrete Can you put that over a solvent based cure and seal?

[@teak5476]

What would happen with solvent based sealer in that sprayer?

[@13eejus]

Ive seen it mentioned that solvent based is not recommended as it's flammable.

[@daveklein2826]

He addressed it right in the video....

[@jedadruled984]

Bro, better take an electric sprayer, a battery powered one, easy to use, no noise .

[@snazzyusername]

Can't believe it's not battery powered.

Just what I was hoping for! The world doesn’t have enough 2-stroke engine powered tools to listen to (bcz we all know what a pleasant and soothing whine they make 😣) Ok ok, thumbs up and a comment bcz I typically enjoy the channel but I would be disingenuous if I didn’t say I felt like I just sat thru an 11:00 info-mmercial on something that could have been covered in about 20-30 seconds, tops. I hope that’s not where we’re going here. Just being honest. 😐

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I'm sorry you felt that way. I just was excited about this product and wanted to thoroughly talk about it and how to use it for the people who may be interested in purchasing this item.

[@psidvicious]

@@MikeDayConcrete Understood. Who likes criticism? If I was ‘that guy’ that just spouted off negative comments on every video, you could probably just chalk it up to some jerk, but you’re ‘batting avg’ with my comments, is typically pretty high - Pros who know wtf they’re doing, in a not-so-easy craft. I give balls and strikes, honest comments. If everyone else comments that you hit this one outta the park, then I was wrong and the comment should be disregarded.
