My buddy and I are getting into the business this next upcoming season and we are trying to figure out the best way to set up our spray rig. We have a wand with a valve on it now but what you’re using seems way more sensible, so what is that wand and what kind of tip are you using? It looks great and it looks like you have a greater deal of control over your fan
The wand and tip I'm using ( for oil based sealer, won't work for water based I don't think ) is ordered from a place in Ontario called MKRittenhouse, on their website the wand part number is AA23H for the trigger gun, 6671-48 for the extension wand (48"), and I use the #3 tip TP8003EVS
That’s what I needed to know. I put the same size pump on my new setup that pumps 24 gallons a minute and it is bogging the motor down when I put pressure on it. It works fine on the other one that has the gear reduction on it but not this one. So I will get a smaller pump and change this one out. I have a t valve that’s rated for 1200 psi which I will not use that much pressure but it might work on it when I get the right pump. Thanks for your help my friend.
Hi Mario Thank you for your reply. It's something I'm looking into at the moment as an add on to my exterior cleaning business. I'm a few thousand miles away from you in England and I'm not seeing a lot of contractors apply sealer this way. Only by roller. Is there a video of your set up from the tank to the wand/lance?
Hi, no video really, but basically I use a small engine to power a hydraulic pump into a pressure t-valve with overflow return, 150 feet of high pressure hose and the wand set up you can buy at MK Rittenhouse in Ontario. When you are ready I can try to help with questions some more.
Hope you are spraying two coats as it looks sparse. Why dont you squeegy the seal coat into the asphalt driveway, won't is adhere better than spraying?
We just had our driveway paved. Whoever was operating the roller ran through some dirt before getting back up on to the asphalt. So there's a large area that's discolored because his roller wasn't clean. Wife hates it. Asphalt is now a few weeks freshly paved. Is it too soon to put a seal coat on top of it to make her happy? She wants it perfectly black and nice looking. If we can just seal it now and make it look perfect, what product do you recommend? I'm going to do it myself because we are tired of having to rely on someone "doing it right the first time." That hasn't worked out for us lately. Can I get some sort of attachment or set up to spray like this?
You can call your local asphalt places or go online to asphalt kingdom and get 5 gallon bucket and a squeegee and seal it yourself don’t use homedepot sealer
This is guaranteed super thin. Uneven and really watered down. You don't paint like a spray can. Nice even consistent spray from side to side. Could have sprayed this the right way in a quarter of the time it took to spray it like someone that put watered down sealer in their power washing setup. From the looks of the cardboard it looked like black spray paint.
I live in the deep south , maybe 1 out of ten thousand might have a paved driveway. Most people where im at have a poured driveway. Paved driveways must be popular in the north.
@@treydogg77 I'm in Atlantic Canada, most driveways and lots are pavement here. And yes, it's cold and snowing here now, these are left over video's from last summer
@@FastFordClub After getting my connections tight I tried the.3 tip and it worked great. I did a 39,000 sq ft parking lot this past week and used the.3 tip and I think I will stay with that one. Really works well. Got about 300 sq ft per gallon coverage
I order the T-valve at the same place as the wand and trigger gun - at MK Rittenhouse in Ontario, if I remember correctly, they come stock with a 700 psi spring, need to order the 900 psi spring separately
@@FastFordClub The guys who seal coated our road did the same thing with the tar truck, they purposely sprayed a little ways onto the grass to make sure all the tapered edges got hit, that spray on the lawn disappears after the second mowing .. looks perfect! Excellent.
@@flexking2022 I'm in New Brunswick, I've been doing this for a very long time. Going good so far this spring except the rain last few days. Congrats, keep it up you will get busy, where are you at??
10 years experience in this field of work, we do not spray driveways. If we did, we would edge them out with a brush. This job would be cleaned, crsckfilled if needed, cut in with a 6” roof brush then brush applied with a 32” push pull brush or 36” natural horse hair brush. The overspray is a no no even considering it can be cut but you already used the board for the garage and concrete plus patio why not the whole thing. It’s these type of sealcoaters that give us good sealcoaters a bad rap. I do not approve 🤯
@@nightthebluefoxfemale8816 the hell you can’t. Used coal tar for years my guy. Brushed edges everyday and pathways with the stuff. Also did spray with a wand and by truck. You can’t tell me nothing I don’t know.
@@charlesharris9706 paid for or not, spraying driveways is useless. Hand brush it. I could hand brush that driveway in 10mins and be off it and it would look better in the long run and last longer.
@@FastFordClub lol again . How much did you charge for this particular one? Not counting the product. How much money you take home after a job like this one?
Is that a trigger wand as well that you ordered? I have the traditional ball valve wand and feel the trigger wand would be great for cutting in edges. I would have to adapt from my 3/4 hose down to the trigger wand which shouldn't be,too hard I would think.
I can see you are leaving open pores from the thin layer of coat. This will leave access to water get in to the pavement. I think it needs a second coat. A driveway/parking lot typically needs two coats of sealcoat because the first coat absorbs into the pavement, filling opened pores, while the second coat provides a protective layer, repelling water and preventing damage from UV rays and chemicals. This double-layer approach ensures a durable and long-lasting seal! By doing just one coat It could end by either leaving open pores and live access to water going in to the pavement and have a failed sealcoat protective coat. This could happen by having a very thin and light coat. Or if it’s to thick we can find flakes of Sealcoat pealing off due to having a very thick coat. What kind of Sealcoat are you using?
I also brush and squeeze all edges to make sure it gets an even and comply coat cover. And then I spray the rest. By brushing and squeeze all edges I also have a very clean-and professional ending job. I algo don’t have a single overspray on walls, garage doors and garage concrete and grass. It might take me an extra 10 minutes using this method but that is our best way to get to clients through their recommendations. Just an opinion. I hope it is useful in some way with all respect. I used a 700 gl seal-rite tank
@@executiveinvestments Ok, you must be the pro then, I've only been doing this for over 30 years (with happy repeat customers) But yeah, you would know better 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's the actual product you're applying? How long does it usually last? I tried that epoxy one from Canadian Tire and only got about 2 years out of it.
@@RJBlacktop Very rarely I do those, it does make it hard to evenly coat them. I think I have done 2 or 3 in the last 5 years, try to stay away from them
Looks like oil based. Worst sealer you can use. No hate, but asphalt emulsion or coat tar is better.. Oil based has no grip in the winter leaving your driveway a slippery mess and it will be gone in 6 months.
You need to do a little research before saying much more. Oil based sealer is the only sealer to use, unless the pavement is junk and just needs covering up. Look, asphalt is made up of 3 components, sand,stone, liquid asphalt. When the surface starts turning gray, it needs liquid asphalt to continue to function properly. The oil based sealer penetrates the surface rejuvenating the asphalt. Water based sealer doesn’t do that. Know what you’re talking about before you criticize what other people are doing.
Please stop misleading these people and lying like this that is not no piston pump that is a log splitter pump from tractor supply that he’s got hooked up. He’s lying and trying to say that’s a $900 pump and it is not because I see the way he’s spraying like he’s Sweeping sweeping he did not show his truck or equipment and hose like airless hoses real heavy like you cut whipped it with one hand. I got 100 foot of it and I can whip it with one hand and get it out for one underneath my feet, we use it for painting that’s why they call it airless hose go to car wash yeah y’all want that gun y’all want that hose go to the car wash and cut it off hook it up your hose clamp and clamp it on the professional said to do that just just do like he did go steal it and cut it off from the car wash comes with the tip. Include it in the wine and the gun the car wash gun and the hose $.75 get every piece you need the tip and the hose a 1:45 professional sent you.
These Gilsonite Rigs with that spray wand is full of shit. It will bust eventually you guys do work for way to cheep bet you did that job for $200 tops $400
First of all, it is NOT Gilsonite that I'm spraying. And no, I do NOT work that cheap LOL. Maybe get to know something about a person or their business before commenting and making a complete fool of yourself. Oh, and I have never in my 30 years of doing this "Busted" anything
AGAIN ..... This thin sealer (LOL) is a rejuvenatior, the cracks get filled after treatment. This product penetrates the asphalt, not a thin coat, just soaks into the pavement where it belongs to replenish the oils.

Not a fan of spray on sealer for residential applications. Had a sloppy contractor do my driveway years ago. However you guys did a pretty nice job.
I’ve never seen a wand setup like this that’s dope I might try it out Godbless🙏🏼
This is the only type of sealer that actually benefits your asphalt instead of covering up the imperfections
