[@TRINInDC925]

Too bad there isn't a more time saving and efficient way to apply the sand in the gaps for the pavers. Definitely the part of paver sealing that seems the most tedious to me. They look great and I can tell a difference not only with the sealant, but the gaps you pointed out for the pavers as well.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Yea there's a way to sand easier but the equipment cost like 3 grand. It's called a sand roller. I don't have the space to carry it nor do I seal enough to get that.

[@TRINInDC925]

Always appreciate the info, never heard of a sand roller before. Totally understand, that's the same reasoning I use when looking at equipment and tools to work on my home. I'll never look at a push broom the same way again. 3 grand geeze. Lol

Heh Cliff, Vman from Brandon here...... peep the Ryobi 20 volt sprayer. has long battery life, but has the added feature of a switch on the side to raise and lower the flow of the spray. $159 at Home Depot. Not sure if the Craftsman had that added feature. Not sure of the price point on the Craftsman. Wash on !!!!!

[@eknight101]

I have that exact sprayer. Its great, but the only thing that I don't like about it is that it's really hard to measure how many gallons of liquid that goes in the tank. What sense does it make to mark the outside of the tank with gallon measurement lines if the tank is dark red and you can't even see any liquid through it???🤔🤔

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Hahahhaha I thought the same. I could barely see the liquid line. I just poured until I could see the liquid at the bottom of the strainer.

[@robertwilson6835]

You made a soft wash system with dolly. Would love to see how you put it together.

Hey buddy. Great video. Pavers look great. Keep up the great work. I like the backpack sprayer idea. I feel with the heat of the summer coming up it might get hot on the back?

[@eddiquettetv1253]

You are applying it while the pavers are too hot it is why it is drying up quick. You don’t want that to happen you want it to dry up slow and steady and you will get a way better result. It’s best to seal after 5-6pm when the sun it about to hit sunset

Hey bud! I was wondering what kind of PW rig you use. Pros and cons between hot and cold water systems.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Here's my rig kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnjKc5x7mpiGpac Pros and cons with hot water is that hot water works better on oil and grease. That is it really. With residential work you'll almost never ever need hot water. I had a hot box for almost 2 years and used it 4 times so I decided to sell it.

[@jamescarter8328]

Kind of a newb question but what exactly is the point of the sand?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

To minimize weeds growing through. One you seal the sand in it gets hardened and Stabilizes the joints.
