Is it better to spray or roll the driveway sealer?

• <div><p>If you don’t want to seal the entire driveway using a squeegee, you can use a roller instead. Rolling the driveway sealer also provides an even, sufficient coating, although it might require more skills to control the speed and pressure. We don’t recommend spraying the driveway sealer because it would cause more splash, hence wasting more material. If anything, you may spray the sealant and go over the surface again with a squeegee to ensure proper coating. </p></div>

Q: What is asphalt made of?

• <div><p>Asphalt is made of aggregate materials (sand, rocks, and gravel) and bitumen, a viscous, petroleum-based, waterproof substance. These materials are mixed together at extremely high temperatures to form asphalt.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between tar and bitumen?

• <div><p>Though they may look similar, tar and bitumen come from different sources. Bitumen is a petroleum product&mdash;extracted during crude oil refining&mdash;and is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. Tar comes from burning down organic materials like coal or wood. Bitumen is strictly oil-based, while tar is a mix of compounds from natural sources. Both are used as binders in paving; however, bitumen is the standard for today&rsquo;s asphalt. Tar use has mostly faded out of road construction.</p></div>

Q: Should I seal asphalt before it’s fully cured?

• <div><p>Yes, you can seal asphalt before it&rsquo;s fully cured but you should wait to do so until at least three months after installing it. Otherwise, the seal coat can trap the asphalt&rsquo;s oils and chemicals, preventing it from fully hardening. This can lead to a weaker surface that&rsquo;s vulnerable to damage. But if you wait at least three months, applying a seal coat can extend its life by protecting it from water, UV rays, and other damaging elements.</p></div>

Q: What are the three main types of asphalt?

• <div><p>The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it&rsquo;s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.</p></div>
