With this necessary information, a number of questions may come to mind, including, “Why do I need a primer?” A fair question, and thus, the purpose of this article - to help you make an informed decision about an essential part of the roofing and reroofing process. More importantly, the better the contact with the substrate, the better the primer’s performance. Priming the surface can be a critical step and is important for the best possible adhesion. Surfaces that require primer include concrete and masonry roof decks, and gypsum, block, brick, parapet walls and metal flashings.

We recommend three methods to remove the lids:ġ) The easiest is to purchase the bucket opener. These lids are on tight and might be difficult to remove without some guidance. If you order a handful of pails, we ship them in what we call "Super Buckets" which are a much higher quality bucket and lid compared to what you might be used to. We would like to take a quick moment to mention the lids on our single order buckets. If you don't plan on applying your Sealcoat for several days after receiving it, we recommend you drill a small hole in the lid and apply tape to the drilled hole, this will allow the pail to "vent" until you apply the product. This sealer is applied using a Brushcoater or Sealcoat Squeegee and pavement needs to be repaired and clean before application.
