to dry ½ hour prior to sealing over. If pavement is extremely hot, apply a fine water mist prior to sealing, but avoid creating any
standing water. Brush out any remaining puddles. You can edge the driveway with a large paint or wall paper brush by dipping
brush into sealer and slowly edging the driveway (put a tarp over any concrete areas so you don’t accidentally get sealer onto
concrete). Complete surface preparations and allow area to completely dry (24 hours recommended). Newly paved surfaces
must cure for a minimum of one full season.
DO NOT DILUTE SEALER. Apply sealer only when ground and air temperature is 55º F and rising and rain is not likely for
36 hours. Also, do not apply very late in the day. Early spring or late fall application when sun is at a low angle can prevent sealer
from curing properly which may cause tracking.
Stir
Normally the pails will only need a quick mix but to be sure it’s good idea to flip over the pail at least 24 hours prior to
using the product. (Carefully inspect the lid to insure it is secure before turning over). "Batch" or "box" the pails by having
an empty bucket there and mixing them all back and forth. This will ensure uniform consistency. Premix 1/2 of the pails
you expect to use then mix additional pails as needed. (Keep the mixed pails covered as you work).
Mist
(only when the pavement is very HOT)
Start at the end of the driveway farthest from the street (start approximately 2 feet out). Apply a fine mist of water to the
pavement to lightly dampen the pavement ... leave no standing puddles of water. Apply sealer to the dampened pavement.
Remoisten as needed.
Pour
Start by pouring a ribbon of sealer across the width of the driveway about 2 feet from the end of the garage or house in a
snake-like pattern. Use a driveway squeegee (see our 18" Seal Right squeegee).
Seal
Once you've poured a bead across the driveway, use your squeegee to pull the sealer back and forth, in a moon shape,
across the driveway starting near your house and working down towards the street. (Maintain a wet bead or edge to avoid
streak marks.) Remember to drag squeegee back and forth ... do not push. Apply pressure to leave a thin coat. Two thin
coats are better than one thick coat. As more sealer is required, pour it next to where you left off to slightly overlap (Maintain
a wet bead or edge to avoid streak marks). Continue sealing project in one day if possible and without stopping to avoid your
driveway sealer curing at a different rate... possibly leaving different shades of color
Avoid applying sealer when temperatures drop below 55º F. Allow all repaired surfaces to cure 24 hours prior to sealing. For
crack fillers you should wait 24 hours. If the crack filler is firm you may seal over. When transporting this product, ensure that the
container is secured and the lid is secure. Do not allow the container to tumble as this may loosen the lid and allow leakage to
occur. Do not transport on passenger seats or inside the passenger compartment of any vehicle. Protective clothing and eyewear
should be used during application.
