Sprinkle a layer of polymeric sand over the top of the sealant. If any bugs crawl into it, just sweep them out after it sets. It also leaves a really nice looking finish coat. I did my whole driveway like that and it looks awesome.

From school books I got when going through my union mason apprentice ship. As printed: always apply sealant,grout, or polymer in foward motion from tip . Yeah didn't do that Until this huge job at the college. Once you become comfortable shooting foward,what a difference your end product becomes. Thanx so much for the info. Enjoyed it.

Deck O Seal ain't cheap in any of its many colors. . Works like a champ though even in weather extremes. . I'll be sure to look for this self-leveling sealant... P.S.
