I thought this would be a big channel, shocked it's not. Very interesting to watch, yet relaxing at the same time. Well done, can't wait to witness y'all reach a larger audience.
Yep. We drop the pavement temps from 140F+ down to the 90ish range. Prevents flashing of the water / clay and other materials out of the sealer (think water in a hot frying pan), less broom marks, easier to work with and a much more uniform finish. Water already in the sealer, the small amount we add to the pavement before sealer is negligible
How many gallons of water are you carrying around of you? Do you just have an electric pump? And a spray tip or just like a water hose gun? I have a 50 gallon water tank, my pump is around 4.5 gpm.
I think the SR700 has 29 gallon unit under the bottom storage area. We use x2 100' flex hoses that we connect to the customers water spigot to cool the driveways. Don't really utilize the one on the tank other than the occasional cleanup
Sure! Surface temps are around 140-150°F when the ambient temp is 90°F+. Spraying the surface cools down the pavement and prevents the "flashing" of water, clay and other materials from the sealer once it hits the hot surface. Makes it easier to work with and an overall better visual appearance vs the streakiness that can occur.
Do you prefer to broom it over spraying your material? Have you experimented with various AE materials and what’s your current product you’re using? Great video, thanks!
What's up Harley! For residential driveways, brooming all day, every day. More work, but the broom finish tends to be more liberal with material, less chance for overspray, uniform with appearance and wear over time. You still have to cut in / broom the edge of the driveways when spraying, so you're halfway there by the time you wrap and back it up to spray. We spray x2 coats on all our commercial projects where you have a much larger working area. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the up coming season!
@@royerfromjersey I’ve got 22,500 sq’ on my property. I considered spraying it, so I wouldn’t have to carry over into the next day / have stopping points. There’s spots where the asphalt has been added on to after the initial job. Figured I can make those seams my stopping point and where I can restart the next day if I brushed it. The transition is already ugly. I’ll be doing the work solo bc nobody wants to work anymore. Will definitely be water fogging if the temps are high. I’m in MT at 3,000’ elevation.
Much appreciated! You ideally want to establish a minimum for the smaller driveways, but usually we're around $.30 -$.35 depending on the condition of the asphalt. Oftentimes more with the smaller driveways with the minimums to show up in place.
Very much appreciated! Yeah I feel bad speeding these up for the shorter attention span viewers. Going to stick to the longer ones for a bit to help people get a better idea to the process. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. Been binge watching. New sub. Guys are doing nice clean work. How many gallons did you use on this drive? Also, is you seal-rite an extend trailer? Looks like it, but just wondering. Thanks for taking the time doing these videos.
Glad you like the videos and very much appreciate the sub! Yep, it's the Sealrite SR700 Extended version. Can fit a 30 gallon crackfill kettle on there but I use it for storage and things we use daily.
Much appreciated! It's sandblasting abrasive called 'Black Beauty", fine grit that's in the red bag from Tractor Supply. Helps with hot tire pickup and blends the sealer overtop the rubber strips so it's not so noticeable. Thanks for watching!
It was around 90°F that day, so the pavement was somewhere in the 140-150°F+ range depending on the area. Misting it with water will incrementally drop the temps down to the 90-100°F range that we like. It makes the material much easier to work with, with less chance of sand roll out, footprints, and the "flashing" of the water and other materials in the mix as soon as the sealer hits the hot, uncooled pavement. The water takes the initial hit vs our mix!

Genuinely, one of the nicest comments we've ever gotten on the internet
Are you wetting the pavement before sealing? If so why?
Yep. We drop the pavement temps from 140F+ down to the 90ish range. Prevents flashing of the water / clay and other materials out of the sealer (think water in a hot frying pan), less broom marks, easier to work with and a much more uniform finish.

Nice job. enjoyed the work and the music.
Very much appreciated! Glad to find like minded people who appreciate good tunes. Helps keep us going!
Can you explain why you are wetting the ground
Sure! Surface temps are around 140-150°F when the ambient temp is 90°F+. Spraying the surface cools down the pavement and prevents the "flashing" of water, clay and other materials from the sealer once it hits the hot surface. Makes it easier to work with and an overall better visual appearance

That's a bloody good job, well done guys!
Thank you! It was fun one to pull off!
Always impressed with the work you put out!
Very very much appreciated! Thank you
Awesome work as always!
Thanks brother!
I'm sure this is a stretch of a question, but what did you charge? I'm located in Canada 🇨🇦
It's not important
Great work bro.. Question.? how much you charge per square foot.?
Much appreciated! You ideally want to establish a minimum for the smaller driveways, but usually we're around $.30 -$.35 depending on the condition of the asphalt. Oftentimes more with the smaller driveways with the minimums to show up in place.
Very nice job - keep the videos coming, I love the long ones.

I think we used roughly 140'ish gallons?
Excellent video quality. Cant wait to see the channel grow .❤
Much appreciated! Slowly and steady we're getting there. Appreciate you being part of the journey!
Great job ! Whats the powder you put on the crack rubber

best.. 👍🏻
👍 Wow ! Quel travail, vu la taille de la propriété !
Thank you!
Why do you wet it first?
It was around 90°F that day, so the pavement was somewhere in the 140-150°F+ range depending on the area. Misting it with water will incrementally drop the temps down to the 90-100°F range that we like.

nice 👍👍👍
