Good job bud! I'm a interior house painter and decorator in Scotland, but very occasionally over the years I'd get a garage floor to paint, and I always enjoyed it more than my regular day to day jobs. There is something more satisfying painting floors over walls and ceilings! Love watching the seal coat process, the transformation must feel very rewarding.

Appreciated brother. Very cool! All away across the pond! Yeah, garage floors have been my favorite line of work so far. We're able to take our time with getting setup and overall workflow. Less stress than running around to multiple jobs on the same day. Bringing the old back to life and giving them a new space to live makes it all worth it. Thanks for tuning in!

Im thinking of getting into the business. One of my worries is the heath concerns. Some guys say the stuff is safe but I see you wearing a mask and even mentioned it at the end. Alot of videos I watch guys are not wearing masks. I feel like its a dumb question but I had to ask. I mean I get that wearing a mask wont hurt. Better safe than sorry. But just wanted your thoughts since you have been in the business.

Good question! We hand brush 99% of our jobs, so there's really no threat to airborne particles, unless you're sticking your head in the tank breathing it in. Coal Tar does contain VOC's and you don't really want to be breathing that stuff in, so when I spray, I'll for sure wear a mask / protective glasses in case the wind changes my direction. There's a lot of old school people stuck in their ways and claim that they also eat asbestos for breakfast with no issues. Most states are banning Coal Tar and switching to Asphalt Emulsion. CT lasts longer and has more durability, but the AE is better for health and environmental solutions. I don't chance issues when it comes to health. Only other potential issues would be the smoke coming off of the crackfill units. You don't want to be inhaling any kind of smoke to be honest, but that stuff is basically burning, melting rubber so it's best to keep in kettle down wind and don't breathe it in if its in your face.

@@royerfromjersey good to know. Thank you for the tips. What about on your skin? again feels like a dumb question but figured I would ask.

I personally don't have any problems with it as we don't use 100% coal tar. I know some people who don't wear protection would end up with burns / redness at the end of the day and just deal with it. Not the way to go about it! Tyvek suit, facesock, eye protection and a mask while spraying is the best bet.
