Juggernaut Irreverent or irrelevant? Premium Member join:2006-09-05 Kelowna, BC	Juggernaut to alkizmo Premium Member 2012-Jul-7 2:36 pm to alkizmo Re: True story - Paveway sealing hottie said by alkizmo: Then they applied a sealant which aesthetically covered all the patches. Would that be a good reason to apply sealant? The main reason to use a hot tar sealant is to keep water out of cracks, and splits. It'll eventually erode the road base, and leave potholes. The same if water gets in, and freezes. It heaves the pavement. It's meant to be a fix to lengthen the life of the asphalt.

That's what I understand, it seals the fine cracks. Asphalt streets don't need it because they usually have a better engineered base and a much thicker coarse (reinforced with stones) layer than driveways.

I told her to come back later this summer). Send her over my way, I don't need my driveway sealed but I have $120, plenty of cameras (still and video) and access to a couple of private studios one with full dressing room with bath and a wet bar. And yes I will post the pictures. Wayne

I wouldn't believe a boy of similar build could do it.... Until I saw videos of those scams and it only looks like they are using a pressure hose to spray "paint" the asphalt black.

alkizmo join:2007-06-25 Pierrefonds, QC	alkizmo to guppy_fish Member 2012-Jul-7 6:29 pm to guppy_fish Oh the house is ready for the baby. I wanted the basement to create a personal space to hang out away from the inlaws. It's almost impossible to focus on my projects because my wife can't do much anymore as she's like 37 weeks pregnant. However the basement is cleaned up and I have a mini fridge down there and a laptop. With a 5 weeks paternity leave combined with 4 weeks vacation time, I will have a lot of time to focus on the projects. My wife will have her parents helping out with the baby. Comment on the basement Reno: I am going through cans of great stuff and rolls of aluminum ducting tape. Man are there a lot of little cracks to tape and unreachable nooks to condemn with great stuff.

Driveway sealers come in two flavors down here, there are the trunk slamming fly by nighters who spray or skim down some odd foul smelling mixture of coal tar and a binder and companies who use push around or drive around sprayers that are so precise they can cut within an inch or so of a sidewalk or a parking bumper. The trunk slammers go mostly after the residential market and the pros do commercial where they not only do the sealcoat they also re-stripe the lot and repaint and stencil as needed the bumpers. As for quality I have seen jobs done by the slammers where they coated right over plants growing out of cracks and sprayed or skimmed the grass around the drive, whereas the pros come in first with a tractor that has a rotary broom mounted to the front which they use to break loose any plants or debris, the area is then vacuumed cracks are filled with hot tar and potholes are primed with hot tar and filled with hot asphalt which is rolled flush using a vibratory roller and then once all that is complete the re-coat is done using some kind of tar based material that is sprayed down hot which once cooled is done and ready to put in service. The striping the use consists of some type of small plastic beads that they place in a hopper and melt and is also shot down hot with a machine that has two spray heads one for the striping and another that blows glass beads onto the cooling stripe making it reflective.

When I was kid I remember the county would oil the dirt roads to keep them somewhat in place, they actually sprayed down used motor oil and it seemed to be mostly from diesels by the nasty smell of it, then came rainy season and what a freaking mess it made puddles would have a oily sheen on them, lawns became self edging as the grass near the roads died and every kid in the neighborhood heard the same words when entering the home that being TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF, as it once mixed with mud and water tracked everywhere.

Who knows what they would really put on your driveway. Driveway sealing is one of their oldest scams. +1 And the guys that show up will want to use your bathroom so they can case the joint.

About 4200 sq ft. plus a few hundred feet of curbing for $700. Obviously I could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere, but in this case, they are a quality, reputable company that I have done business with in the past. This is a case where you get what you pay for..

Your drive should last you a long time since you're taking care of it. Yes you get what you pay for especially if you have a reputable company you're dealing with.
