ASPHALT SEALING APPLICATION GUIDE

DRIVEWAY and OTHER ASPHALT SURFACE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned by sweeping and power blowing. This will rid of the dust, dirt, leaves, etc. so the sealer has an opportunity to adhere to the asphalt surface.
2. If there are any areas where there is asphalt damage due to petroleum deposits,(gas or oil drip leaks) they should be cleaned thoroughly with oil detergent / de-greaser and then sprinkle sand on the area and sweep with a broom to dry that area out.
3. If there are small depressions in the asphalt surface then you can prepare a mixture of coarse sand and Sealer and fill in the rough surface. The repaired area should be left to set up and be free of traffic for 24 to 48 hours.

APPLICATION TIPS:

1. Use a thin board or small section of a piece of plywood so you can protect the edges of the walls surfaces that you will be spraying or applying next to. Make sure to take your time and to develop your technique so you don’t have to waste time cleaning up from overspray errors.
2. When using any of the SealQuick spray systems the application wand will spray a 2 to 3 foot fan spray when holding the tip 1.5 feet above the asphalt. Take you time, practice makes perfect.
3. Start the spraying process by walking up the driveway right to the end (usually closest to the house). Do one full pass across the top of the driveway. Example:
   
   
   
4. Then you should do both sides (Always protecting borders and walls from over spray.
   Example.
   
   
   
5. Once you have then done the borders you can then walk back to the top of the driveway and start sealing from left to right or right to left. Work your way down the driveway.
6. 6. Once driveway is completely sealed it is best to put two sticks on each side down by the road and put a caution ribbon across the end so nobody drives onto the driveway by accident.
7. 7. Clean up after your job. Sweep the road and be sure that when you leave the area is cleaner than when you initially arrived.

RAIN: Asphalt sealer can be applied up to ½ to ¾ of an hour before a rain.

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE: Do not apply at a temperature less than 40f and more than 95f.

CURING / DRYING TIME: The time to dry will vary, depending on weather conditions. Normally, it can be walked on 24 hours later or can be driven on after 48 hours – But always advise your client to stay off the surface for as long as possible as this allows for the best job.

CLEANUP: To clean tools use gasoline or Diesel.

Once the sealer dries it will be difficult to remove, because of it’s extreme quality and durability. Fabric stains are permanent. Work gloves and eye protection are recommended.
