How to redo your driveway easily?
Pave-Tex is a textured coating with acrylic polymers that is easily applied by roller; it adheres to a damaged or new asphalt or concrete surface. Use Pave-Tex to resurface paved driveways, parking lots, playgrounds, tennis courts or any other surface that requires the texture and durability of asphalt.
Finally, a solution without the hassle of heavy machinery and bitumen vapours in your front yard! Driveways are as beautiful as the first day and for the years to come. Pave-Tex products can also be applied on concrete surfaces to have the colour and texture of new asphalt. Imagine resurfacing your tennis court yourself with a roller!
For this project, you will need Texnov’s Surface Preparer, Texnov’s Crack Filler and the asphalt coating Pave-Tex. Before you start, check the weather forecast. The ideal conditions: a beautiful weekend without the possibility of showers and that the temperature will not drop below 10 degrees.
Step 1 – Setting up the surface
New asphalt surfaces must be aged 6 months minimum prior to application of Pave-Tex. No traces or remains of asphalt sealer containing coal-tar or bitumen must be on the surface.
The surface must be clean, dry, of good quality, free from crust, grease, oil and scaling. Weeds and vegetation in the asphalt must be removed. Craters in the asphalt must be repaired and aged 15 days minimum before application.
Trim the grass edges and clean up all dirt, dust and debris, then rinse the asphalt area using the strongest water jet possible.
Step 2 – Clean oil stains
Scrub any stains with a stiff wire bristle brush and TexNov Surface Preparer. This will remove any existing motor oil stains and other contaminant.
Step 3 – Fill cracks with a trowel or a putty knife
Locate any existing cracks. Use TexNov‘s Crack Filler for cracks less than three-quarters of an inch wide. Fill the crack to the brim and let the product cure according to the directions on the label. For larger cracks, use a specific product to seal potholes, tamp them down and fill the hole to the brim. By following this technique, there will be a minimum of shrinkage before applying the sealer as a finishing coat. Apply the Crack Filler with a putty knife or a trowel.
Step 4 – Apply the Pave-Tex asphalt coating
Apply two coats of Pave-Tex with a roller. You can use a brush to paint the edge of the driveway. So easy and so durable! You can use the brush to trim the edges of your driveway and the roller for the large surface.
Follow instructions carefully for drying times.
Pave-Tex will restore the appearance and texture of new asphalt in a matter of minutes, and its results will last for ten years.
