@@SEALCOATINGISLIFE I'm a new sub! Love your work. Do you guys typically just put on one coat or two? What are the factors concerning whether you use 1 or 2 coats? Thanks!

[@TheRelger]

I’m going to get my driveway paved so I can sealcoat it!

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Thats great. Let me know when you do and ill give you some tips.

One more time great job !! One question for you , what is your water dilution an pourcent % ? Exemple for one drum of 45 or 55 galons Tanks ! Hi use 15% of water for 55 galons emulsion (from Québec)

awesome work! how long do you tell the customer they have to wait before they can walk and drive on it? Thanks!

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

24 hours to walk, 48 to drive

The guy with the Bobcat did not clean up after himself... ;-)

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

No he did not.

[@asphaltetc.6823]

Hey, I watch your videos a lot and I've also learned a lot. I was wondering if you knew how FAA approval works for sealer and if you had any advice on how to get it for clients that will only use it. Right now, I'm a small business that uses cold tar sealer from 5 gallon pales and I'd like to evolve from that. If you could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

[@kimberlyhansen6378]

I'm excited for a new video, especially as it's a little longer than some of the others (hey - any extra minute of joy and relaxation counts!). You guys always do such beautiful work, and my counselor thanks you for providing me a source of calm distraction. 😄 I was surprised the homeowners didn't power was the driveway, as there was a fair amount of dirt (hence the title, of course!), and I see you're back to the big blower - it did look like using the backpack blower was putzy on other jobs. Please keep your videos coming (the longer, the better!), and thanks for doing this for us. ♡

[@kimberlyhansen6378]

In my mind, "longer" is real time, instead of sped up. Thought I should clarify.

[@chappy675]

This is going to be a dumb question but what is the point/benefit in sealing a driveway? I actually like the natural color of the asphalt driveway better but I’m sure sealing it has added benefits.

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Theres no such thing as a dumb question. Check the video description for more information.

[@tonypedron6634]

Excellent job,👏 I would like to know what materials and supplies ($)too do I need to begin that kind of business and the training too. Could you please tell me how to start? Thanks

[@DK1892.]

I noticed that you often work/move in synchronised ways when working together. Do you speak to each other or it's the chemistry between you two?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Pure chemistry. My partner takes the lead, and I am reacting off of him.

Hi guys, a other great driveway Sealcoating,love to see your videos,you did a greate job,thanks for showing ...

[@tracygaluszynski1868]

I heard you need to wait 6 months to a year before seal coating new asphalt. Is this true?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Yes. I would say a minimum of 6 months before sealcoating.

[@Frank-os6gq]

How do you find clients for this? Was it a hard journey?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Yes. There’s definitely ways to to network now that weren’t around before. But if you do quality work, the jobs will sell themselves. 😎

[@joshualewisyoung]

Hey, ever thought about asphalt repair / paving / ripping out a driveway and laying down new asphalt? It’s not that satisfying but it looks pretty good at the end for when the old man does jobs.

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Sure, if I had the money for all that equipment. That’s very expensive to get started in.

[@nevillesmith9795]

What is the life expectancy of that liquid you are applying on the drive ways and what is the min and max thickness to apply

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

There’s no one answer. Every driveway is different. This one shouldn’t need another seal until 2-3 more years.

[@nevillesmith9795]

[@mike0145]

So are you using asphalt emulsion now because you think it's a better product or due to the lack of availability of coal tar?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Coal tar has priced itself out of the game where we are. Its a better sell too.

[@mattd2080]

Is it ok to seal over the dirt marks? I see you scrubbed them but shouldn't the sealing been done after they were washed off completely?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Thats why I showed the "5 weeks later" clip. Ideally, you want a perfect surface for the sealer to adhere to, but that's not always going to happen. Using a wire brush and then brushing in sealer CAN give you enough adhesion.

Good 👍 teamwork 👏

Hi guys, what an awesome job. I’m new to your channel, you guys are impressive on how you work together that’s great teamwork. Thank you for the great content you put out. 👍🏽do you have a video on how to repair divots on the driveway like tire marks that were left by a heavy truck ? Thanks 🙏🏼

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Welcome aboard! Do you mean tire marks on new asphalt or tire marks on a recently sealed driveway?

[@floridaprosoftwashllc.3416]

@@SEALCOATINGISLIFE I thank you brother! meant the driveway was recently top coated with asphalt like about 2 months ago and a truck drove on made a sharp turn and made a divot a mark on the new asphalt. How can I fix it. And another question I seen in your comments someone asked about waiting to seal the new asphalt at least 6 months. So I should wait to do that ?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

@@floridaprosoftwashllc.3416 to fix that on new asphalt you need an infrared machine. Yes, always wait at least 6 months to sealcoat new asphalt.

[@MrOgunZulu]

What is usually more expensive, coal tar sealers or asphalt emulsion? Great work as always!

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

I don’t think you can get coal tar anymore (or at least there is a finite supply of it). In the years past, I think they were around the same price.

[@chuckfrisoli1170]

You can still get coal tar, it went up in price because there’s supply issues now. One of the plants that my supplier uses burnt down over the winter. But it’s still available from my supplier in Pa
