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. Well the trade shows will be in the
planning shortly, please support our in-
dustry trade shows and attend with your
key personnel to learn what’s going on in
our industry. “Happy sealing.”
