ON THE PARKING LOT Addressing potholes, cracks, sealcoating and directional line marking are a must prior to winter. done. Most managers have been working on their roofing, landscaping and pool budgets for 2020, so now is when you want to get in there and sign them up. If you don’t sign them up now, at least you will have your proposal in there for future pavement maintenance work and for their budgeting purposes. As fall comes so does the cool nights and overcast days. This is especially time for adding addi- tives to your sealer mix design to help set your sealer film in marginal cooler weath- er. I have contractors that claim they have extended their sealing season up to an additional month by incorporating 2% Fass Dri in their mix design. Mainte- nance Inc. has distributors that can ser- vice your additive needs. As fall comes in, contractors must realize just how sensi- tive sealer is to cool weather. I recom- mend you try and use up your sealer as fast as possible and get fresh sealer from your supplier as needed to finish up your end of season projects, as to not have seal- er sitting around all winter in your heated shops. And remember Additives, cold pour crack sealant, paints as well all must be kept from freezing and should be stored in a warm environment if you must store them for the winter. Contact your sealer supplier or Maintenance Inc. direct at 800-892-6701 if you need ad- vice on proper material handling for win- ter.
