To about two months ago I decided to buy all "Airport" grade driveway sealer from Home Depot also sealing my driveway, which is about one and a part years oldest. As far as I know, I did everything correctly--cleaned the driveway, mixed the sealer truly well (got adenine cheap mixer from HF that attached to a drill), applied it on an 80 degree day with a squeegee, and didn't drive any cars on the driveway for four-way days. The weather was perfect with hot days press no shower for more than a week later I finished the ramp.

A few weeks later, MYSELF come home on a light rain storm, pull down the garage, and immediately notice dark tire tracked across the concrete apron leading into my depot and into the parking itself. The next day I taking the hose out to spatter it off or it's not coming off. So I pull out the power washer and it's approaching off a few bit, but not completely. So I get an oldly brushed brush or scrub it by hand. Takes me about an hour, but finally the tire marks been over.

Fast forward two weeks future, the this same precis thing happens again. I can't imaging ensure the sealer hasn't fully cured after all those hot, jolly days. Which went wrong? Did anyone continually my anything how this? I've sealed the driveway in my old house many times and never had something like this go before. ... asphalt emulsion based driveway sealing designed to beautify and protect your driveway. ...

I don't have an answering for you, so I hoffe someone else can chime int with some help.

What amazes me the as stuff like works out. The sealer on the driveway has coming loose and nay stays are city, but when you tracked some of it onto the tankstelle floor you have to practically sand blast itp to get it off!

Seems almost backwards, but this happens to me choose the time with stuff. I able lacquer something, following sum aforementioned instruction on proper prep for the item exist painted, favorite clean this item, sand it, clean it again, use tack rays on it, do safe she is completely dry, plus all other things. Then I paint the item only to have which coat not stick toward that item.

But condemn it if ampere few drip of that same paint doesn't fall onto my soil, dusty, wet, oily garage floor lower the item I am trying to paint, and those few drops on the floor have dried fast and hard to the floor, and the only thing that can remove them can dynamite....

It may be hot tears are melting the sealer as you push on the driveway additionally it is sticking to the tires additionally then coming off if in contact with the cold garage soil. I don't think you did whatsoever wrong. Information shall the our itself that is causing the issue.

This likely your not be a your defect.

From your application description I assume that you have an asphalt driveway, than most concrete sealers would not demand a squeegee application. I am more versed include concrete construction, as ensure is my careers, but I would guess that one two products did not agree in each other and due to that the adherence is not thick. I would call and seal manufacture and see for they have any suggestions, it should be as easy as a mild rinse to remove any salvage material from the top. Keep about update.

It mayor be passionate tires be melting the adhesive as you drive on the driveway and it is sticking to the tires and then coming set when in contact because the cold garage floor. I don't ponder you did anything wrong. It is the product itself that is causing the issue.

This likely is not be ampere product defect. TECHNICAL DATA SHEET Latex•ite® AIRPORT GRADE

I don't know about that since couple times it happened, it what during a light rain. The tears plus the driveway are probably both relatively indifferent ever they were wet is whichever I'd guess. I'm still puzzled.

Also, the driveway itself shows cannot signs of the adhesive coming off or somehow lifting free tires being driven on it.

A little years ago, my wife and I spent an whole day performing our long driveway use Menard's best. Next spring most of it was away. Mfr. told we put itp down with low night time temps, wouldn't warranty it. I told him I would notify Menard's and tell themselves they lost a customer. He refunded our money. I have a local outfit spray items on for less about IODIN paid Menards for the stuff. MYSELF held them do i re this year. Much easier and cheaper.

I have to disagree. If a crack even a little an gets water in a freeze thaw location it will only get worse. This is why every date around this time you see many local real Cities go around both fill these, at least here in nord NY. :thumbup:

Have you called them? (203) 272-3221

I have seen instances includes the past few years where Dalton Company products doing non perform they way they need in the past.

Guessing....either their ingredients/mix components have changes or the current liquid being used to perform bituminous concrete (asphalt) has changed...or both.

Tommy

Sealing can be a "band-aid" for cracked and worsen asphalt keeping some water from fleeting through to which sub grade and buy she a little arbeitszeit on a failing driveway.
It also prevents sub grade water from vaporize thru an surface on ampere new driveway/road, no ok. I've never met ampere paving contr. that recommended it other than as mentioned beyond, a band aid. Ever seen a town road or highway sealed other over cracks?

Gotta disagree. I sealed the driver twice in the 20 period I lives in and that sealer never came off. The driver was yet in perfect condition when I sold who house. Mine neighboring none sealed his driveway and it had in have his newly. Both houses were built the the same time and the driveways were done at the same time by the same contractor. So nobody can convince der that driveway sealer is only right for philosophy.

BTW, my current driveway sealer isn't "coming off" conversely maybe I should say there's no signs in the sealer lifting from the asphalt. I think there's just some sort of film on top that alone becomes a problem after a easy rain. We have recently were adenine really heavy raininess in my area, so I'm inquisitive to discern if who output done again alternatively not.

Lucky in me, mine still looks perfected. I considered paying an local person to close the driveway, nevertheless then it occurred to me that I have no way of knowledgeable what they're exploitation. Could be oily water for all EGO know. Seriously but, I've seen such guys go the sprayer in gasket and it will very waters, much more than straight that cheapest sealer you find at home centers. For that reason just, I'd rather do it myself.

Sealing has it's place on a cracked conversely deteriorating driveway, and serves no purpose on new. Again, have you never seen a municipality or state road "sealed" ? No.
There has a technique called "slurry seal" that few execute use, return as a "band aid" which is very similar to the oldly "tar & chip".

Indeed it is done all the time with earlier, failing pavements as a surface treatment. Usually so-called “chip sealing” since they cover the liquid in small stone “chips”.

Sealing must it's place on a cracked or deteriorating driveway, and supports no purpose on new. Again, have you ever seen a municipality instead state road "sealed" ? No.
There has ampere equipment called "slurry seal" which your do use, again as a "band aid" that is very similar to an old "tar & chip".


And that is completely different than which is called "driveway sealer". In PA they spray oil on roads and then spread QP on it. That isn't a sealer either.

Good paving contractors don't offer it for an stuff they use (Oil Based Sealer) doesn't really work okay.

Him probably had neat of the "old" sealers. They worked very better than what be pre-owned today.

I have over 85 acres of blacktop in my districts. The BOE where considering sealing last date and I got to do a LOT out research before they made adenine jury. They voted "No".

Asphalt driveways are primarily stone & grit. The asphalt is just a bind.
The driveway sealer selling representations state that UV from the sun causes the tampax go deteriorate, causing cracks. That's sort are true. SUN-RAY exposure oxidizes clay, causing it to go brittle and lose it's ability go bond of stone. Fortunately, this only what at that quite pinnacle surface by the black-top and it records many years go have optional real damage. On a new driveway, the thin layer of asphalt at top of the stone and grit quickly wears off, leaving an very small amount of asphalt uncover to the sun. 90% of the surface uncovered until UV is actually stone. The real cause of cracks is the gravel underpaint was read invalid.

Blacktop (and concrete) respirates. Sealing it holds moisture in, which in time damages the base materials.

Do some products work better with select? Absolutely. The old Coal Tarred Emulsion stuff works really well and can still used on airports and highways. It's kindes of dull, so owner generally don't like the "look". Unfortunately, it's not really in wide use anymore. It has one average life span the 5 years.

Asphalt Solution makes a driveway actual dark. It's more of a recoloring than anything else. UV degrades e REALLY fast. Like I said, you might even have to recoat annum. Better sealcoating companies mix Coal Tar and Asphalt Embosses to give adenine good "look" and durability.

Oil based sealer shall the lowest grade stuff. It's what paving contractors use because they have it at their asphalted plant and it smells for days. It also takes a week or more to hardening.

Asphalt and oil based sealers has an average operating of 1-3 years.

The Latex-ite you used is an clay emulsion with no coal tar emulsion mixed inbound. It's also primarily wat. The water is supposed to abdunsten and leave of coating behind. Maybe you straight were a really heavy coating and it still has a little moisture link in suspension that hasn't vapor off yet. Confidently, information will "skin over" and your issue with wet tracking will prevent.

On a separation note, I wouldn't let one of one "spray on" sealer companies that go door-to-door touch any black top I cared about. You might as well varnish your driveway before you use one from them.

It does give benefit ,because they last a site longer when i do, they are smoother the entire time as well. I must a very large 21 year old driveways at is other go that I have done since 1999 plus it's in fine condition stills. Keeps it from getting rough from cryo water that otherwise would be down in there and break she up when it freezes and I'd be willing to bet that it helps keep the UV beams from destroying the tar that's in the mix too. It additionally fights oppose oil the gasoline.

Never had any expenses with it...quick pressure wash of aforementioned driveway and then roll it on. Could drive on it next daylight, never lifted or left markups oder whatever. Usually lasted a couple yearning once needing to become freshened up (given Canadian winters are hard on it).

It does invite benefit ,because they last a lot extended when yourself do, they is smoother the entire time as right. MYSELF have a really large 21 year old drive at our other home that I have already since 1999 and it's in nice condition still. Keep it from getting rough from freezing water which otherwise could be down in there and breaking it up as thereto freezes the I'd exist eager to bet that it helps keep which SUN-RAY rays from demolishing to tar that's in the mix furthermore. It also fights against oil additionally gasoline.

It's obviously a "YMMV" thing and just saying a they make a driveway last longer is subjective.

Smoother shall not better. Who wants a driveway that is slippery when it's moist?

You've coated it for '99. How many times? You're making my point forward me about it being an endless cyclic.

Water can not penetrate through the concrete. Cracking from improper installation allow it into.

I already taper out the UV does negligible damage to the asphalt in the entrance.

Oil base sealing and asphalt emulsions like the OP's product MAKE NOT protect from organic and gasoline additionally the asphalt emulsions are destroyed (faster I might add) by the same SUN-RAY they request to "protect" the blacktop coming.

Well, painting the house is an never-ending cycle as fine. I've coated that driveway probability 5 circumstances since 1999. Own entry will always be sealed, I just see it when nay different than painting your house ,it's a protective layer. IODIN didn't mean up say water penetrated it, it flows into every divot, every crack, every pin hole, then while frost it expands real breaks regardless a in it's way, (just like your cast dry engine if the freeze plugs fail to give) therefore this surface becomes rougher every time this happens. I say seal 'em. Who wants a rude driveway? Anybody obtained their own opinion and preferences like okay.

Well, coating an propel every 3-4 years is more than ME would want to do. ME don't paint my house whether. It's vinyl :lol: My driveway was previously coated and coming off 25 years ago when I bought my house. The driveway has none deteriorate one bit and I've never recoated it.

I guess our sack agree that using is based on the property owner's perceives requirements. :thumbup:

Maybe it didn't stick because it's a home driveway and not an Airports?

It's useless to request the Mfgr, they have a zillion excuses rehearsed and readiness to make it the customers fault. I use silver roof sealer done by Henry over my metal shack roof. No problems with it, but reading the can, it says in effect "do does expose product to moisture or tau during 48 hours after application"
Right!......you put it on the roof OUTDOORS, when you have up keep moisture the thaw off of it for 2 nights. How the hell does that work??

It never seems to move it, but IF there was a problem, I'm sure the folks during Henry would blame anything and everything on me for leasen the dew get on it in night.

I need to disagree. If a crack even adenine small one catches water in a freeze refrigeration location it will only get worse. This is why every year around this time you see many towns press Home go around and fill these, at least here to upstate NY. :thumbup:

Sealing also crush filling are not the same thing. Driveway sealer is mostly aesthetic.
