Avoid puddling or over-application, as it can lead to an uneven finish and longer drying times.

Drying and Curing:

Allow the sealcoat to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 24 to 48 hours depending on weather conditions.
Keep the surface clear of traffic and footprints during the drying period to prevent damage to the freshly applied sealcoat.

Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with water or a solvent recommended by the sealcoat manufacturer.
Dispose of any leftover sealcoat or cleaning materials properly according to local regulations.
