Anyone Still Sealing?

[Roland]

Sealed a drive yesterday and it rained an hour and a half later, just about had time to dry so I think I got away with it!

I am now starting to think it is a bit dodgy sealing until spring because of the weather.

Anyone still sealing or do you stop during the autumn/winter?

Its pretty damp even when its not raining round here!, but as a bit of a thread hijack, is it ok to re-sand at this time of year? or is it too wet do you think?

get a gas heat blower if you are that serious, dry the ground if damp.

I have my first 2 sealing jobs to do next week all booked in. Should just about get away with it if the met office has got the weather forecast right. Just a bit colder than I would like it to be.

Re-sanding is fine if you have a day or two of dry weather but I think I won't be doing any more sealing until next year.

What sealant are you using and how are you applying it?

smartseal with roller at the moment.

It would be worth your while investing in a sprayer, it will only take about a quarter of the time it takes with a roller.

I don't know what the Smart Seal stuff is like, I use Sealers Direct Premium Ultra HD Sealer.

It is brill although you need thinners to clean the sprayer afterwards, it really enhances the colour of the blocks!
