Great video. Still getting used to the brushes.. I see u guys use a very aggressive angle. I have mine the other way and drag for my fish swipe. Old squeegee habit. Gonna try changing the angle like u guys got. Push, and walk off to the side. I’m learning a lot from u guys. Thank u 🙏. I’ve been Sealcoating for over 20 years. I’m not ashamed to say, I learn something every tine I watch u guys. Thank you 😊
@@SEALCOATINGISLIFE it’s taking some getting used too. I still switch to a squeegee once in a while. Some surfaces I can save on material with a squeegee
Cant believe i miss this one 😜 so SATISFYING, especially the edge cutting! Love these videos with no background music, its the best so relaxing to me. Great job as always 👏🏽
This is another of my favorite reels, and I especially enjoy the last 7 minutes or so. It's just so interesting to watch you deal with different issues that come up as you work.
This is what I call professional caulk coating, not those fake spray paint coatings that claim to seal a driveway. The amount of detail these guys go into is top notch. They deserve a big tip for every job they do. 👏

Almost always cold patching for residential. We will hot tar and spray for commercial jobs. I will try to get one of those jobs on video this season. Thanks for the THANKS!
We fill at a fill station. Usually 200 gallons at a time, plus sand and water. I usually have some footage on my RUclips stories. I will be making a video in the future where I shot how many gallons we use per job. You will be able to count the pumps from the diaphragm-pump.
Hi there. If you were to rate your jobs which one would you rate as the most difficult of them all in terms of the corners and shape of drive way and any obsticles that made the job challenging
@@SEALCOATINGISLIFE I'm going with same guy who expanded my driveway and sealed it 3-4 years ago. He owns a paving company and does seal coating too. My neighbors who went with cheaper companies have to get there's done every year or 2. They questioned me on why mine lasted so long, he stated to me alot of those cheap companies dilute the seal coating with alot of water, he doesn't. Mine probably would've lasted another year but my neighbor cleans the snow off the driveway in the winter and his bucket scraped it in many places.
Hey guys great work. I have a question. How do you push the sealcoat with the broom without getting it all over the place. You use a broom not a squeegee? I’ve been in the same line of work for years
That’s how I learned how to sealcoat. We’ve always used brushes. I think brushing is the best way to apply the sealer. It leaves tiny little lines that add traction for the winter months.
Maybe wear cleats on your boots, so you don’t leave footprints and have to continuously “erase” your footprints? Just a thought. Great work though. First video of this kind that was in my suggested RUclips feed.
What is a good liquid to store brushes in after use? water? I'm thinking these will have a longer life if drying out of brushes can be avoided. Any tips on maintaining brushes?
Just started up sealing business myself. How are you guys storing the 3 ft squeegee brush after use? Does it require clearing or can I just kind of rinse it off for the day?
Most of the bucket-stuff you get in the hardware stores is pretty similar. Id say the application-method and preparation are the most important. Next year I will be doing some videos with the 5 gallon buckets you get at the hardware stores.
watching from Gillespie, IL, (Central Illinois) I currently have a parking lot striping business but have been playing with the idea of doing seal coating also. only problem is there is already a very reputable asphalt and sealcoat provider in my area that has been in business for over 40 years. Can I ask why you brush or squeegee instead of spraying the material on? You guys make it look too easy, great job.
Does sealant come in different colors? I had only seen black before but this looks brown? Awesome job btw. I’m watching from Nashville ☺️ I remember as a kid back in the 70s/80s watching my dad do this every couple years on our long driveway and how satisfying it was. Really brought me back.
I’m watching from Ridgefield, CT. Do you do work in this area? Love your attention to detail! My driveway has cracks in it, so do I fill the cracks first before having it sealed?
On the truck; one machines turns an agitator bar inside the tank to constantly mix the materials (sand, water and sealer), the other is an air compressor to pump the sealer through the hose.
@@SEALCOATINGISLIFE thank you so much for explaining im from South Africa have never seen this done here. You guys are amazing teaching me alot. Maybe one day start it in SA.
What did you spray when you did that last pass? Just curious about this! Plus don't the little flowers/leaves which fall on it afterwards mess up the work or annoy you?
It’s just water. As soon as the sealer leaves the hose, it begins drying (water evaporating). We use a water based material. When the material dries faster than you can smooth it out, you can add some water to help you finish. ruclips.net/user/shortsx40i9L8CRe0?feature=share
Hello guys great video I've been watching it for quite a while now. I have a question all the edges could it be cut in with a brush instead of squeezing just asking.
