All right, welcome to our number two at Home with
Gary Salvin taking it through the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Thanks for joining me. If you'd like to grab a line,
love to talk to you about your home project.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Our phone number locally we can get on right now,
it's five one three seventy fifty five hundred and.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
We'll take those calls on NI today. All right here
on fifty five krc DE talk station.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well, the weekend's upon us. Welcome at Home with Gary Salvin.
It's OW has brought to you by Dice Codings. We've
talked a lot about that today we thank them for
their sponsorship. We're talking about new projects and Dice can
be the beginning of some new projects. If you're looking
to get a concrete surface level, it's now easier than ever.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
They have a new product is called rock Patch filler.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It levels out and resurfaces the concrete. It's Premix coming
one in three gallon containers. You can get it online
at Dice Codings dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
That's d A I C. Ch Coatings dot com.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Or Home Depot or LOWS on their websites. But it's
called rock Patch and we thank them for their sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And while we're at it. Let me first give you
the phone number if you'd like to join us. Do so.
It's eight hundred A two three A two five five.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Doing a little studying during the top of the news
or top of the hour pod newscast. Sorry, And I
was looking up tracks Safe, the anti slip saler. We
talked about it two times, once around a pole pool,
once around of front steps. And the big question is
what was the UV protection that was delivered by the
(01:54):
product track Safe A clear ceiling for you know, like
I said, garage floors, steps, patios, anything like that. Track
Safe is formulated to include UV protection, so it does
resist sun damage keep surfaces looking fresher longer. The manufacturer
(02:15):
also lists UV and heat resistance among its key features.
I thought that was interesting too, So maybe a lighter
color around that curb around the pool.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Is not as necessary as I made it sound out.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So their product documentation and techno sheet also confirmed excellent
UV resistance. It did mention recoding three every three to
five years. I'd probably be on a safe side and
code around three. And really what that means is protection
against fading, but even bigger is protection against yellowing of
(02:54):
the clear coating and so it's going to be very
benefit official. It'll keep and help preserve the original appearance
on a concrete PAVs stone tile. Great for outdoor use, patios, walkways, bulldecks, steps.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And other sun exposed areas. So yes, it does offer that.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
All right again, it's eight hundred and eighty two three
eight two five five Bonnie lead us off.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Welcome.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I'm trying to repair some of these great big garden
earns from like hobby lobby and ants there like a resin
of some are composite or something.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Huh, what do you use?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And this was on I know the resin composite, but
what what?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Earns? It's a great big ones that you put by
your front door, right.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Right, I believe it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well, my experience with those is they also are multi colored,
aren't they.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Well there's the dark ones, like a dark lead.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, okay, So Krylon makes a resin plastic spray paint.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Oh, and that's what I would use.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's usually you know, I'm sure it's got your black
and your brown, but outside that it's mainly pastel colors.
Those will work that that particular spray paint I've used
it multiple times, not for a few years now, but
resin chairs, rests, even resin sheds.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Okay, So what about if it's got splits or anything
in it? Is there anything I can do before I
paint it?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Described as splits? I mean, is it is pieces missing
or is it just a crack.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Or what is it?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
It's a crack?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, you could possibly patch that within a POxy patch
or maybe like an automotive patch.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I was wondering, like bondo or something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, I would say that's what I would try.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, I would think that would probably hold it together
if you can get on the inside of that thing
seriously and kind of make sure that that crack is,
you know, pulled together.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The best it can.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Even if you put like a piece of gorilla tape
or something behind that on the crack where the crack is.
You know, when you put the bondo on it, you're
not really filling anything because it's not going to really
have much to grab onto. You're more skim coating it.
And I think that would be the way to repair that.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Okay, is there anything going to use for a filler?
If I can't get a tiger.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, then I think you're going to go into some
of those epoxy products because it's not really a liquid,
it's it's a heavy bodied. So there a POxy steel,
a POxy plumbing. There's a product called PC seven PC
seven that can be used for concrete and all kinds
of things. My guess is you could use that for
(06:12):
a filler. But I really think if you get that
uh seam put together and tape it and steady that
and then going with the bondo on, it'd probably be fine.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
That's why I kind of hit a punch, but I
wasn't sure. I did want to put something on it
and then not be able to get it off, you know,
while I was doing more damn it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Right right, Yeah, we are experienced. We are experimenting to
a degree.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Oh yeah, well I appreciate your help because you know,
I don't want it to get worse.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Sure, I don't even make them anymore so I can't
go back to lobby and then tell me what to do.
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All right, hope it works. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And again it's eight hundred A two three eight two
five five grab a line, uh Anna Murray, Welcome Annie.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Marie correct, and and.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Marie, I'm thinking too hard?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
All right?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
How can I help?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
My question is replacing the ceilings. I have a modular home,
so it's a double wide trailer basically, and I had
a new roof put on, and the guys that did
the roof damage to ceilings, like they almost fell through
because it's almost like cardboard, it's paper thin. And so
now I have cracks all over my ceilings and it's
(07:34):
getting to be like eighty five degrees inside here because
it's hot in South Florida. I want to know if
I can replace those ceiling panels with sheet rocks.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
What kind of what are the panels made out of?
Right now?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It's called trailer paneling, and mad it's thick cardboard basically.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And then Fred, is there a seam in between each
of those panels? Yeah, and it's got like a little
t rail that pushes in that crevice and it's trimmed
out so you know you can't see the scene.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah. I you know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
The reason that's designed and architect that way is so
that when you get you'll get expansion contraction and a
trailer more so than a house. Okay, So with that movement,
with that expansion and contraction, that little seam gives you
(08:39):
relief so that there wouldn't be destruction to the panel itself.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And so really, if you.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Go to a dry wall I think you'll be there's
probably other panels that are available. I've seen other panels
where it's not the real thin type that you're you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But I don't think I would use drywall. I think
you need those seams for expansion and contraction, almost like
a seam you would use on like.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
You know, like the office qbicles, how you have that
cloth seam.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And panel. It would almost have to be something like that.
I would. When it comes with you know, homes and mobile.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Homes, it's almost an entire different set of products and
you've probably run into that. Even doorlocks, there are different
sizes and different things like that. I would check with
a dealer and see if they can help you out
with a panel that is designed for a mobile home.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Okay, okay, all right, then, thank you very much, you're
quite welcome.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Thank you. Sorry to disappoint you, but I I think.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
There's probably something out there that's more substantial, and maybe
you can help me out on that.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
All right, let's think you break, we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We got Dolly and we got Bruce and if you'd
like to join us, do so.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
At Home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Solutions to your home improvement are as easy as calling
one eight hundred eighty two three talk. This is at
Home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Cat Sean Hannity weekdays at three on fifty five KRC
and online at fifty five KRC dot com. Brian Thomas
weekday mornings at five on fifty five KRC and online
at fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
All right, let's.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Get back after what do you say? You're at home
with Gary Sulivan talking a little home improvement. If you've
got a question, feel free to jump on board. It's
eight hundred eight two five five. You know, over the
last I don't know, maybe three four or five weeks,
we've had more calls about sphalse sealers than I really recall.
(11:12):
So joining us today will be Amanda Pool and she
is with Blackjack coatings that make the drive backs one thousand,
the ten year warned sealer, the seven to.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Five, the two. We're gonna talk to her about all
the sealers.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
She'll be able to tell us what the differences are
and I think you'll enjoy that conversation.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So that'll be at the bottom of the hour. Let's
go to Dolly Dolly Welcome.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
Thank you Gary. My question is about an old deck
that was made out of pressure treated wood and they've
cleaned it and sealed it every year with Thompson's water Seal.
Need to know if there's anything any better that they
might get a little break on cleaning it every year.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well, not so much on cleaning it every year.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Thompson's Water Seal makes a variety of different products, so
that's a brand name, so I don't want to say
without knowing exactly what kind of seiler they're using. I'd
be a little nervous of saying, you know, well, it's
only going to last a year, and that's the way.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It is originally when it came out.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I could say that because it's pretty much a wax
based product which didn't last. But they've got some newer
ones that have some UV protection and different things like that.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
So tell me.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I know you're cleaning it every year, but you know
the deck is outside, so no matter what you use,
you're going to clean it every year.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
The question is do you stain it every year.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
No, it was just a clear seal that they put on.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Okay, so again it's the clear ceilings. So they make
different types. They make a semi transparent and and I'm
talking about all brands make a semi transparent stain. They
make a solid color stain. The lighter the semi transparent
stain is the least amount of time that sealer lasts.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So and I'm just giving you the facts.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
A clear, semi transparent stain probably is not going to
protect that wood.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
From the sun for more than a year or two,
especially if it's facing the south or the west.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
There are different brands that'll give you another year, but
pretty much anybody's clear sealer is going to last about
a year or two.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I mean, that's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
There's not enough solids in there to protect that wood
from the sun. And to be honest with you, you know,
I know it's called Thompson water seal. The biggest damage
is done by the sun. Yeah, so you know my suggestion,
I mean, if you like it clear, you like it clear.
(14:01):
But if you like it clear, be prepared to clean
it every year and put another coat of a clear
seiler on. There regardless of brand. If you want to
try and get is it face directly into the sun.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Oh yeah, it gets the sun midday every morning and midday.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It's so if you want to extend it out, maybe
get two to three years out of it. You can
get a a semi transparent stain that has some pigment
to it. In other words, it could be a redwood,
it could be a ceedar, it could be a brown
that has some solid it's still a penetrate. You can
(14:41):
still see the wood grain, but it has some solids
in it to protect that wood from the sun.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Okay, that's settled. I have another question. You have a
table made of a tisha wood and she bought the
cover and it thing for it. It's in the elements,
it's outside to be moved in off that deck, and
she bought us steal one nanopoly. Now the first year,
(15:11):
the top of that table, the finish on it peeled
up and just like it had.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
A burn place.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
And it says she send it off and put the
steal one nano and polly on it. What is I've
heard you talk about Codein's on your show. What's the
best thing she can put on there to maybe keep
it then she keeps it under cover.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, and is it? And what kind of wood is it?
I knew you heard it, but I couldn't hear you.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Atisha would Atisha would Okay. So probably the best thing
to put on that would be a marine euro thane.
I don't know what that nano polly is, but you
don't want to use a polly your thane on.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You know wood for sure that is in direct sunlight.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So you could use a spar your thane sp R
or you could use a marine you're a thane.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Again, those are designed to block UV rays, of.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Course they're clear.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And if you use a poly which has very little
properties of blocking UV rays, it's going to you know,
it's going to just play heavoc with that finish a
turn yellow, it'll crack, it'll peal.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So spar your athane or a marine your thing.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Right, thank you very much?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
All right, Dolly, thank you for the call. I appreciate it.
These are good calls. And you know you need to
I know you got to do the research to really
to find out what types of coating that coding is
just that paints the coating varnishes of coating it's covering
the surface and without some sort of UV block, that sun,
(17:01):
just like the skun sun can burn our skin.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
The sun can.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Really compromise those codies, really compromise the wood, create the
wood to go gray, to get dried out, to crack. Well,
we're going to take a break from taking calls for
about fifteen minutes. We're going to talk to our friends
who make the drive Max. We're going to talk about
sphalt seilers. That's coming up next. You're at home with
(17:26):
Garry Sullivan.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
It's the weekend and you have fixed questions. Give Gary
a call at eight hundred and eighty two three talk.
This is at Home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Powering your Prosperous Future from the Steve Parents Coordinated Financial
Lending Studios.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
This is fifty five krc DE Talk station and iHeart
Radio station shirt.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Here's an easy da very latest from around the globe
from the fifty five krc U Center.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says US Marines are ready
to support law enforcement dealing with the anti ice protests
in Los Angeles. Hexath said Saturday, Marines at Camp Pendleton
are on high alert and ready to assist the National
Guard soldiers being deployed to the area. Protests erupted around
La Friday in response to the recent raids by federal
(18:25):
immigration authorities. Texas and Oklahoma are bracing for severe weather today.
Forecasters expect heavy rain, damaging winds, large hail, flash flooding,
and possible tornadoes in northern Texas and southern Oklahoma. The
highest risk along the Red River from Dallas to the
Texas Panhandle and up to Oklahoma City. The number of
measles cases in the US is nearing a thirty year high.
(18:48):
Federal health officials say that there's now over eleven hundred
confirmed cases of measles across thirty three states. The Centers
for Disease Control says that compares with a total of
two hundred and fifty eight cases in the US last year.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
The place for Brian Thomas in the morning fifty five
KRC the talk station.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, as I was mentioning before, we have had probably
more discussions about asphalt seilers in the last four weeks
than we have in the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And I don't know why that is.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
But we have Amanda Pool, she is with Blackjack coatings.
Gonna kind of talk us through the new age products
that are out there, and I keep giving you two year,
five year, seven year, ten year. You can get different
qualities of coatings for your driveway, and certainly you know
(19:43):
the better coatings their drive maximum thousand, which I've talked
about often. It's a ten year warning on that and
that's against fade resistance, so it looks now longer. Kind
of the same thing we're talking about with deck sealers. Hey, Amanda,
welcome again at home with Gary's how you doing.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
I'm doing well, Gary, How about yourself?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I'm doing fine.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's like this whole asphalt coating business going crazy this
year or.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Is it just me?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
It has a little bit.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
I mean, it was a little bit of a rougher
winter and there's been a lot of rain, so I
think everyone's ready to get outside and get a refresco and.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You know, I guess that's it.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Or everybody's looking at the driveway and going like, Hugh,
it looks terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
But I know you folks at Blackjack Co.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Have really, you know, pushed the envelope and given people choices.
You want to just talk about the line, or you
want to talk about the top of the line.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
First we can we can talk about the full line
then kind of dive into the crundle of crime if
you will.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Sure, sure, So, yeah, you have what you know, depends
on what the person needs, and you've got something for
everybody exactly.
Speaker 10 (20:56):
So our Drivemax lineup has uh, there's a one thousand formula,
seven hundred and five hundred. All that translates to is
your ten year, your seven year, and your.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Five year formulas.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
The seven and a ten year are are gel formulas.
The ten has got a few more features we'll talk
to in a second, and our five year formula is
just a basic you know asphalt feeler, stiller, steeler excuse me.
We also have a line of Bea repair products, so
we've got like a tube of porable gallon, a trial
gate braide patch just to be able to you know,
(21:27):
fix up any holes or deeper cracks that you might
have in your driveway before you go ahead and feel it.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And that is actually we were talking about it this morning,
you know, kind of kicking things off. Of course, it's
always about the prep work that really is the beginning
of having a good project. And I was talking about
the poorable crack seales the mastics. How do you make
the delineation of which one to use? I mean, we
(21:53):
all have cracks in the driveway for the most part.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah, so it's it's pretty simple.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
It is on all of the packaging, just in case
you forget what I'm about to tell you. But the
two filler is for any holes and cracks up to
about an inch wide.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
The the tub is more of like a trowel grade formula,
so larger cracks and small holes, let's not try to
fill potholes with it, right, but if you have anything
a little bigger than an inch and then the poorable
filler is.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
For repairs up to three quarter inches wide.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
So it's basically just slightly different you know, massive formulas.
It gets a little bit thicker as your hole get larger.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So yeah, when you need more guts, get that one.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Huh, exactly right. Everyone really likes the porable because it's
so easy. It's you know, slip this spout, you pour
that out.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
It's really great.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
But do you know, do the due diligence and bust
up the call gun if you've got something a little.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Bit thicker for that.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
So it's interesting driveway sailors. I mean they've changed dramatically.
And if you don't know, you've been living under a rock.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Uh, I mean they really have changed. Are these these
are pretty much acrylics or what is.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The base to them now because you can use them
and I'm not going to say all kinds of weather,
but they're very versatile.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
They are so now nowadays they're asful emulsions, right, so
they're more voc compliant and easier to use. And like
I said, the seven to ten year formula are also
have a gel in it that kind of keeps all
the settlement suspended, so that instead of you know, getting
your drill mix around like you used to have to
do in your strenuous work beforehand to get everything mixed up,
(23:33):
everything's kind of ready to go right out of the bucket.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
A quick stir and you're good to go. So it's
really come a long way.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Well, I've been doing this for thirty nine years, and
after about five years of doing it, my moniker suddenly
became I'm all about easy times limited and you know,
when you want to and you have a home, you
got to maintain that home.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's a big investment. But boy, the easier. I can
make that project for myself. I'm all in.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
So let's talk about that drive Max one thousand. You
say it's a Gelf formula. I just picked it up
at Low's er Ace and I get it home. Walk
me through the whole process on how you use the
drive Max one thousand.
Speaker 10 (24:15):
Sure, So the drive Max one thousand is our like
I said Criminla Crime, because this is going to be
the easiest, fastest, quickest product to use. It is Eurothing
enhanced and it's got some speed dry features in it. So,
as you mentioned before, the most important part of any
home project is the prep work. So you want to
pick a nice sunny day, start in the morning and
(24:38):
just go ahead and sweep off your driveway, give it
a nice pressure wash, and then if you have any
oil or grease stains, treat that with the basic household degreaser.
Get that nice and clear and clean, and as it's drying,
you can actually start to fill in your cracks and
your surfaces. So you know, grab that gallon jahag or
the tube, go through, do any prep work and spot
treat those areas and then you let's say, crack killer
(25:00):
drive for only one hour, which.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Is huge, right awesome.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Yeah, in the past this used to be like a
three day project and you reduce it to one. So yeah,
So then once you've you've cleaned and you filled your surfaces,
you're ready to go and apply the actual coating.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (25:19):
So you go ahead and take a bucket, give it
a good stir, and you would apply it in one
direction on your driveway with either a brush or a
squeegee and just kind of work your way down one
thin coat for.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
The first application.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
Go ahead, get yourself some winch after that, and once
that's dry again one hour dry time so you can recoat.
So that's huge, and then apply a second coat perpendicular
to the first. Kind of get a good cross cross
hash battern to make sure you get any good coverage.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So you can use a regular sphalt driveway.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Coatings brush. It usually has a squeegee on the back.
You're basically just distributing the product.
Speaker 10 (26:02):
Then right exactly, you pour it out and I mean
if you could squeeze it, you gotta know like that
it moves like a dream.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Again that the Gael formula makes it really easy to
use the brush.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
You were just kind of used to work it into
any like a little rougher areas.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Is there an aggregate in there for traction at all?
Speaker 10 (26:19):
No? No, not there for traction, but there is a
sentiment just to be like a basic seller, right, So
it's not quite like a court paint, but it is,
you know, it's it's euthane enhanced it to give it
a sleeker finish, so it almost looks like those old
oil formulasso.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I'll tell you my friends at Sherman Williams they have
a eurothane trimming now when it's a water base, and
they use the same phrase and that the magic word
is the euthane. But they go, it looks just like
the old oil based paints. And I just did all
the woodwork in my house and it looks just like
the old oil base. So I love that finish that
you're speaking of. And that's kind of in that drive
(26:57):
Max one thousand, then.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Acting exclusively in the drive back one thousand.
Speaker 10 (27:03):
And then the other nice factor about that is there's
an extended temperature range on our one thousand. So typically
with driveway seilers you need to apply them, you know,
sixty five degrees in rising. This you can use down
to forty five degrees in rising so you can.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Get out a little ahead of season.
Speaker 10 (27:18):
If it's a little cooler in the morning, you don't
have to worry about you know, a lot of time
people here, you know, emulsions or crylics, they get a
little worried about cooler temperatures, as you should.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
But this one's, you know, it's.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
It's beefed up to be able to get out there
and do it early in the day so you could
spend your afternoon enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Well, I was just gonna say, you had to cut
that project down in half, at least half, maybe more. Yeah,
it's so, so what why is it last ten years?
Is it the your thinge? Is it the the UV protection?
I remember back as a kid, my job was to
do the driveway. We did it every year, and we
(27:54):
probably put way too much on there because in twenty
years appealed.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We don't have to worry about that anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I guess we just sealed it because we wanted it
nice and black, right.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
And so the year thing is going to keep it
looking that deeper, black er longer. It also adds some
durability to it, right, and these days too shockingly too
thin coat is definitely the way to go.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
That's going to prevent future tracking. It's going to make it.
Speaker 10 (28:17):
It's shockingly more durable, right, So it's really just a
change in technology and our kenness beine wizards these days.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Yeah, love to deliver something easy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Should we still not drive on it for a day.
Speaker 10 (28:31):
Or Yeah, I would wait twenty four to forty eight
hours depending on the humidity that it does impact the
drive time, but it is foot traffic ready in one hour,
so that's right. You don't have to worry about totally
staying off it if your dog, your kids run across
it not an issue.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Well, when we started chatting about the Blackjack codings a
few years ago, you know, you were just kind of
introducing this whole technology to people.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Obviously it's been well received. It's where is it available now? Oh?
Speaker 10 (29:01):
It is available through the majority of your local hardware store,
So I don't want to pick favorites whoever.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
You shop at your local dealer, is week okay? You
can get it for you.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, I know my local Waste.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'm in and out of that and I see it there,
and occasion I go to Low's and I see it there.
So I assumed you're making big headways.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
That is.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
I got to say, people love the blackjackt it's fantastic products.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Well, the web website, folks, is Blackjack Coatings dot com.
If you'd like to study a little more on the
different type of products, you certainly can remember preparations the
key and Amanda, thank you so much for joining us today.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Of course, Gary, I thought I can talk to him.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
All right, take care of kiddo, all right, bye bye,
all right. So yeah, forty three minutes past the hour
and easy to use.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I love that, last long love that and.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Easy to get so I love that. So there you go.
Sounds like a project. I don't have an asphalt driveway,
so I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Have to worry about that. Now.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
We've been talking about ceiling concrete too. But man, I'll
tell you the advancement in asphalt seilers.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's dramatic, it really is.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
All right, back here it we go.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
We are about eleven minutes before the top of the
air talking a little home improvement.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Happy to have you.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
If you'd like to join us, do so and we'll
talk about your project. First up is Gail Gail Welcome.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Hi, thank you very much for taking my Cally Welcome.
I have two problems. One is in the spring and
early summer, my backyard is about fifty by fifty and
it retains water won't drain. And I have a drain
in the yard on the right side that the city
put in. And then the city owns the ten feet
(31:39):
behind my property the water department. There's a big tank
about five blocks down, so I don't know. The left
side of the property has a slope from the neighbor's
yard of about three feet, you know, easy slope, and
the back has a little slope, so I don't know.
I received a I bought this house papers it said
(32:02):
you may not have water standing in your yard. So
they were aware of it, but they didn't tell me.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
So what's this draining from? Again? I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
The left side drains from the house on that side,
and that's the little I mean, I guess it does.
It's about a three foot slope a little hilly on
the left side.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I mean, is it coming off the from the gutters
or is it just coming from the land or.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Discharge.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
It's mostly coming from when it rains and then it
just sits there as far as I can tell, because
it's only in the spring and early summer when it's raining.
We had a lot of rain this every I've been
here two years. In both years it's done that.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So we got a little we get a little pond
over there.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Long if you walk on it, you know you're squish squish.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Right, So okay, go on.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Well, I'm just afraid if I go to sell this
house then I'm going to be a big problem, right
I really, you know, don't want I want it to
work properly.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Anyway, right, Well, what have you done to get it
to work properly?
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Nothing?
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Okay, okay, so it eventually drives up.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Okay, So what we gotta do first is we gotta
you know, I can't see the property and how it's
you know, how it's all put together, and what's causing it.
It sounds like it's a drainage issue around the house
where you know, it's kind of flowing in that area,
it has nowhere to really go and it just lays
their wet.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
And so what we got to do?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
You know, I coinness a long time ago is really
not about water proofing.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
It's really water control all the way around your house.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Even if your basement was leaking because that it's still
about controlling the water. So you know, as I'm just
visualizing it, you know, I can visualize maybe like putting
in an underground.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
French drain and taking that somewhere. Again, depends where the
fall of the land land is.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You've got to have soil tests for its percolation, how
dense it is, where we can move it, and really
what you want to You don't have any problems with
the house. It's mainly the yard. Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (34:25):
It's the back twenty five feet SA it's about fifty feet,
so it's the back twenty five feet.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
So what I would do is I would contact an
excavator because that's what they do. They control the flow
of the water based on the flow of the land. Okay,
so whether we have to capture that water in a
piping system to move it somewhere and then release it,
or whether we have to put there's even outdoor sump
(34:53):
wells where we could pump it somewhere. Maybe a filler
in that low swale would create.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
A runoff over that.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I mean, there's multiple there's multiple answers to the problem.
It's just you got to get somebody that can take
a look at the layer of the land and as
you know, as an excavator, maybe they got to move dirt,
maybe they got to add dirt, Maybe they just got
a trench and put pipe. That's where I would start,
(35:24):
Gail is, start with the ideas. They also know the
laws of the municipalities of what you can and can't do.
You don't want to be moving the water right next
to the house next door, so you know, you got
to be careful on that. But yeah, that's what I
would do, Gail is, get and if you even if
(35:44):
you get a couple of them, get some ideas, get some.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Bids on what it would.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Be and what you'll come out of that whole processes
is ideas and you know, we can work and you
know what that cost is going to be, because it
could be a big cost, it could be minimal. It
just really depends on how things are, how things are
setting we got a problem, that's how we would start
(36:11):
the solution process, right.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
And the weird part is that the city put a
drain in the yard towards the back on the right side,
there's a drain, but the water doesn't flow down to
the drain.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, so maybe that's the answer. Is we got to
get that water to that drain and how do we
do that? And a lot of it depends on where
the water's come from. It's just rolling down the surface.
A pipe underneath will help a little bit, but maybe
we need to just change the lay of the land
a little bit. So that's that's really what you're looking
(36:47):
at doing. Is you know there, I had my second house.
The one before this one had the same thing with
a neighbor that had all kinds of problems. It was
like the way the thing was, the way the subdivision
in that street was built, It's like everything ran to
this guy's yard, and you know, the poor guy sitting there.
He bought the house and he did the same thing.
(37:09):
He started looking and they put in almost like a
catch basin to catch it, and then a pump and
they would pump it down further and out into the
uh the creek that was down at the bottom, but
that water couldn't get there without that retention well and
then a pump. So it really does depend on how
(37:32):
you can do it. It's normally answerable, but you got
to get somebody in there really to identify what the
problem is and create a solution.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Right last year, the neighbor next story has a big
yard two like me, had stayed like a little lake
on the fire side.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, so you know, the the topography is one thing
where that water's being shoved to that area. The other
thing is you know, a high wall, water table or
a spring that can add to it too. And it
sounds to me like that's not the issue. But they'll
do that test. It could be, Yeah, it could be.
They'll do those tests on the soils to find out,
(38:13):
you know, the volume of the soil and the type
of the soil, you know, if it's clay, if it's
sandy based. That all goes into play and solving the problem.
Speaker 5 (38:22):
Right, Well, I wrote that all down as fast as
I could.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I yeah, And that'll be a starting point. You know,
that will be a starting point. And that's exactly what
you'll do. You'll get some ideas, you'll get more comfortable
asking the questions, and you can even bring up the
third party in.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I mean, that's just you know, that's kind of what
you're going to.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Work on and then make a plan and get it
done and problem's gone.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Thank you much for the call, appreciate it all right.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Let me give you the phone number, Dianna and Scott,
you'll be up first as we continue. Our number is
eight hundred eight two three A two five five. We're
talking about your home and you're at home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Take said right with a call to Gary Sullivan at
one eight hundred eighty two three talk. This is at
home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
Start your day with Ryan Thomas tomorrow morning at five
on fifty five KRZ, the talk station.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
What's the best place to reach New cust
Schedule.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
All right, welcome to our number two at Home with
Gary Salvin taking it through the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Thanks for joining me. If you'd like to grab a line,
love to talk to you about your home project.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Our phone number locally we can get on right now,
it's five one three seventy fifty five hundred and.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
We'll take those calls on NI today. All right here
on fifty five krc DE talk station.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well, the weekend's upon us. Welcome at Home with Gary Salvin.
It's OW has brought to you by Dice Codings. We've
talked a lot about that today we thank them for
their sponsorship. We're talking about new projects and Dice can
be the beginning of some new projects. If you're looking
to get a concrete surface level, it's now easier than ever.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
They have a new product is called rock Patch filler.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It levels out and resurfaces the concrete. It's Premix coming
one in three gallon containers. You can get it online
at Dice Codings dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
That's d A I C. Ch Coatings dot com.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Or Home Depot or LOWS on their websites. But it's
called rock Patch and we thank them for their sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And while we're at it. Let me first give you
the phone number if you'd like to join us. Do so.
It's eight hundred A two three A two five five.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Doing a little studying during the top of the news
or top of the hour pod newscast. Sorry, And I
was looking up tracks Safe, the anti slip saler. We
talked about it two times, once around a pole pool,
once around of front steps. And the big question is
what was the UV protection that was delivered by the
(01:54):
product track Safe A clear ceiling for you know, like
I said, garage floors, steps, patios, anything like that. Track
Safe is formulated to include UV protection, so it does
resist sun damage keep surfaces looking fresher longer. The manufacturer
(02:15):
also lists UV and heat resistance among its key features.
I thought that was interesting too, So maybe a lighter
color around that curb around the pool.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Is not as necessary as I made it sound out.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So their product documentation and techno sheet also confirmed excellent
UV resistance. It did mention recoding three every three to
five years. I'd probably be on a safe side and
code around three. And really what that means is protection
against fading, but even bigger is protection against yellowing of
(02:54):
the clear coating and so it's going to be very
benefit official. It'll keep and help preserve the original appearance
on a concrete PAVs stone tile. Great for outdoor use, patios, walkways, bulldecks, steps.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And other sun exposed areas. So yes, it does offer that.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
All right again, it's eight hundred and eighty two three
eight two five five Bonnie lead us off.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Welcome.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I'm trying to repair some of these great big garden
earns from like hobby lobby and ants there like a resin
of some are composite or something.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Huh, what do you use?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And this was on I know the resin composite, but
what what?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Earns? It's a great big ones that you put by
your front door, right.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Right, I believe it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well, my experience with those is they also are multi colored,
aren't they.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Well there's the dark ones, like a dark lead.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, okay, So Krylon makes a resin plastic spray paint.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Oh, and that's what I would use.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's usually you know, I'm sure it's got your black
and your brown, but outside that it's mainly pastel colors.
Those will work that that particular spray paint I've used
it multiple times, not for a few years now, but
resin chairs, rests, even resin sheds.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Okay, So what about if it's got splits or anything
in it? Is there anything I can do before I
paint it?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Described as splits? I mean, is it is pieces missing
or is it just a crack.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Or what is it?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
It's a crack?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, you could possibly patch that within a POxy patch
or maybe like an automotive patch.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I was wondering, like bondo or something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, I would say that's what I would try.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, I would think that would probably hold it together
if you can get on the inside of that thing
seriously and kind of make sure that that crack is,
you know, pulled together.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The best it can.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Even if you put like a piece of gorilla tape
or something behind that on the crack where the crack is.
You know, when you put the bondo on it, you're
not really filling anything because it's not going to really
have much to grab onto. You're more skim coating it.
And I think that would be the way to repair that.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Okay, is there anything going to use for a filler?
If I can't get a tiger.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, then I think you're going to go into some
of those epoxy products because it's not really a liquid,
it's it's a heavy bodied. So there a POxy steel,
a POxy plumbing. There's a product called PC seven PC
seven that can be used for concrete and all kinds
of things. My guess is you could use that for
(06:12):
a filler. But I really think if you get that
uh seam put together and tape it and steady that
and then going with the bondo on, it'd probably be fine.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
That's why I kind of hit a punch, but I
wasn't sure. I did want to put something on it
and then not be able to get it off, you know,
while I was doing more damn it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Right right, Yeah, we are experienced. We are experimenting to
a degree.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Oh yeah, well I appreciate your help because you know,
I don't want it to get worse.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Sure, I don't even make them anymore so I can't
go back to lobby and then tell me what to do.
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All right, hope it works. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And again it's eight hundred A two three eight two
five five grab a line, uh Anna Murray, Welcome Annie.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Marie correct, and and.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Marie, I'm thinking too hard?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
All right?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
How can I help?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
My question is replacing the ceilings. I have a modular home,
so it's a double wide trailer basically, and I had
a new roof put on, and the guys that did
the roof damage to ceilings, like they almost fell through
because it's almost like cardboard, it's paper thin. And so
now I have cracks all over my ceilings and it's
(07:34):
getting to be like eighty five degrees inside here because
it's hot in South Florida. I want to know if
I can replace those ceiling panels with sheet rocks.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
What kind of what are the panels made out of?
Right now?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It's called trailer paneling, and mad it's thick cardboard basically.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And then Fred, is there a seam in between each
of those panels? Yeah, and it's got like a little
t rail that pushes in that crevice and it's trimmed
out so you know you can't see the scene.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah. I you know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
The reason that's designed and architect that way is so
that when you get you'll get expansion contraction and a
trailer more so than a house. Okay, So with that movement,
with that expansion and contraction, that little seam gives you
(08:39):
relief so that there wouldn't be destruction to the panel itself.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And so really, if you.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Go to a dry wall I think you'll be there's
probably other panels that are available. I've seen other panels
where it's not the real thin type that you're you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But I don't think I would use drywall. I think
you need those seams for expansion and contraction, almost like
a seam you would use on like.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
You know, like the office qbicles, how you have that
cloth seam.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And panel. It would almost have to be something like that.
I would. When it comes with you know, homes and mobile.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Homes, it's almost an entire different set of products and
you've probably run into that. Even doorlocks, there are different
sizes and different things like that. I would check with
a dealer and see if they can help you out
with a panel that is designed for a mobile home.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Okay, okay, all right, then, thank you very much, you're
quite welcome.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Thank you. Sorry to disappoint you, but I I think.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
There's probably something out there that's more substantial, and maybe
you can help me out on that.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
All right, let's think you break, we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We got Dolly and we got Bruce and if you'd

Get back after what do you say? You're at home
with Gary Sulivan talking a little home improvement. If you've
got a question, feel free to jump on board. It's
eight hundred eight two five five. You know, over the
last I don't know, maybe three four or five weeks,
we've had more calls about sphalse sealers than I really recall.
(11:12):
So joining us today will be Amanda Pool and she
is with Blackjack coatings that make the drive backs one thousand,
the ten year warned sealer, the seven to.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Five, the two. We're gonna talk to her about all
the sealers.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
She'll be able to tell us what the differences are
and I think you'll enjoy that conversation.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So that'll be at the bottom of the hour. Let's
go to Dolly Dolly Welcome.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
Thank you Gary. My question is about an old deck
that was made out of pressure treated wood and they've
cleaned it and sealed it every year with Thompson's water Seal.
Need to know if there's anything any better that they
might get a little break on cleaning it every year.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well, not so much on cleaning it every year.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Thompson's Water Seal makes a variety of different products, so
that's a brand name, so I don't want to say
without knowing exactly what kind of seiler they're using. I'd
be a little nervous of saying, you know, well, it's
only going to last a year, and that's the way.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It is originally when it came out.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I could say that because it's pretty much a wax
based product which didn't last. But they've got some newer
ones that have some UV protection and different things like that.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
So tell me.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I know you're cleaning it every year, but you know
the deck is outside, so no matter what you use,
you're going to clean it every year.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
The question is do you stain it every year.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
No, it was just a clear seal that they put on.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Okay, so again it's the clear ceilings. So they make
different types. They make a semi transparent and and I'm
talking about all brands make a semi transparent stain. They
make a solid color stain. The lighter the semi transparent
stain is the least amount of time that sealer lasts.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So and I'm just giving you the facts.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
A clear, semi transparent stain probably is not going to
protect that wood.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
From the sun for more than a year or two,
especially if it's facing the south or the west.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
There are different brands that'll give you another year, but
pretty much anybody's clear sealer is going to last about
a year or two.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I mean, that's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
There's not enough solids in there to protect that wood
from the sun. And to be honest with you, you know,
I know it's called Thompson water seal. The biggest damage
is done by the sun. Yeah, so you know my suggestion,
I mean, if you like it clear, you like it clear.
(14:01):
But if you like it clear, be prepared to clean
it every year and put another coat of a clear
seiler on. There regardless of brand. If you want to
try and get is it face directly into the sun.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Oh yeah, it gets the sun midday every morning and midday.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It's so if you want to extend it out, maybe
get two to three years out of it. You can
get a a semi transparent stain that has some pigment
to it. In other words, it could be a redwood,
it could be a ceedar, it could be a brown
that has some solid it's still a penetrate. You can
(14:41):
still see the wood grain, but it has some solids
in it to protect that wood from the sun.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Okay, that's settled. I have another question. You have a
table made of a tisha wood and she bought the
cover and it thing for it. It's in the elements,
it's outside to be moved in off that deck, and
she bought us steal one nanopoly. Now the first year,
(15:11):
the top of that table, the finish on it peeled
up and just like it had.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
A burn place.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
And it says she send it off and put the
steal one nano and polly on it. What is I've
heard you talk about Codein's on your show. What's the
best thing she can put on there to maybe keep
it then she keeps it under cover.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, and is it? And what kind of wood is it?
I knew you heard it, but I couldn't hear you.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Atisha would Atisha would Okay. So probably the best thing
to put on that would be a marine euro thane.
I don't know what that nano polly is, but you
don't want to use a polly your thane on.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You know wood for sure that is in direct sunlight.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So you could use a spar your thane sp R
or you could use a marine you're a thane.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Again, those are designed to block UV rays, of.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Course they're clear.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And if you use a poly which has very little
properties of blocking UV rays, it's going to you know,
it's going to just play heavoc with that finish a
turn yellow, it'll crack, it'll peal.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So spar your athane or a marine your thing.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Right, thank you very much?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
All right, Dolly, thank you for the call. I appreciate it.
These are good calls. And you know you need to
I know you got to do the research to really
to find out what types of coating that coding is
just that paints the coating varnishes of coating it's covering
the surface and without some sort of UV block, that sun,
(17:01):
just like the skun sun can burn our skin.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
The sun can.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Really compromise those codies, really compromise the wood, create the
wood to go gray, to get dried out, to crack. Well,
we're going to take a break from taking calls for
about fifteen minutes. We're going to talk to our friends
who make the drive Max. We're going to talk about
sphalt seilers. That's coming up next. You're at home with
(17:26):
Garry Sullivan.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
It's the weekend and you have fixed questions. Give Gary
a call at eight hundred and eighty two three talk.
This is at Home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Powering your Prosperous Future from the Steve Parents Coordinated Financial
Lending Studios.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
This is fifty five krc DE Talk station and iHeart
Radio station shirt.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Here's an easy da very latest from around the globe
from the fifty five krc U Center.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says US Marines are ready
to support law enforcement dealing with the anti ice protests
in Los Angeles. Hexath said Saturday, Marines at Camp Pendleton
are on high alert and ready to assist the National
Guard soldiers being deployed to the area. Protests erupted around
La Friday in response to the recent raids by federal
(18:25):
immigration authorities. Texas and Oklahoma are bracing for severe weather today.
Forecasters expect heavy rain, damaging winds, large hail, flash flooding,
and possible tornadoes in northern Texas and southern Oklahoma. The
highest risk along the Red River from Dallas to the
Texas Panhandle and up to Oklahoma City. The number of
measles cases in the US is nearing a thirty year high.
(18:48):
Federal health officials say that there's now over eleven hundred
confirmed cases of measles across thirty three states. The Centers
for Disease Control says that compares with a total of
two hundred and fifty eight cases in the US last year.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
The place for Brian Thomas in the morning fifty five
KRC the talk station.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, as I was mentioning before, we have had probably
more discussions about asphalt seilers in the last four weeks
than we have in the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And I don't know why that is.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
But we have Amanda Pool, she is with Blackjack coatings.
Gonna kind of talk us through the new age products
that are out there, and I keep giving you two year,
five year, seven year, ten year. You can get different
qualities of coatings for your driveway, and certainly you know
(19:43):
the better coatings their drive maximum thousand, which I've talked
about often. It's a ten year warning on that and
that's against fade resistance, so it looks now longer. Kind
of the same thing we're talking about with deck sealers. Hey, Amanda,
welcome again at home with Gary's how you doing.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
I'm doing well, Gary, How about yourself?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I'm doing fine.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's like this whole asphalt coating business going crazy this
year or.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Is it just me?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
It has a little bit.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
I mean, it was a little bit of a rougher
winter and there's been a lot of rain, so I
think everyone's ready to get outside and get a refresco and.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You know, I guess that's it.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Or everybody's looking at the driveway and going like, Hugh,
it looks terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
But I know you folks at Blackjack Co.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Have really, you know, pushed the envelope and given people choices.
You want to just talk about the line, or you
want to talk about the top of the line.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
First we can we can talk about the full line
then kind of dive into the crundle of crime if
you will.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Sure, sure, So, yeah, you have what you know, depends
on what the person needs, and you've got something for
everybody exactly.
Speaker 10 (20:56):
So our Drivemax lineup has uh, there's a one thousand formula,
seven hundred and five hundred. All that translates to is
your ten year, your seven year, and your.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Five year formulas.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
The seven and a ten year are are gel formulas.
The ten has got a few more features we'll talk
to in a second, and our five year formula is
just a basic you know asphalt feeler, stiller, steeler excuse me.
We also have a line of Bea repair products, so
we've got like a tube of porable gallon, a trial
gate braide patch just to be able to you know,
(21:27):
fix up any holes or deeper cracks that you might
have in your driveway before you go ahead and feel it.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And that is actually we were talking about it this morning,
you know, kind of kicking things off. Of course, it's
always about the prep work that really is the beginning
of having a good project. And I was talking about
the poorable crack seales the mastics. How do you make
the delineation of which one to use? I mean, we
(21:53):
all have cracks in the driveway for the most part.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah, so it's it's pretty simple.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
It is on all of the packaging, just in case
you forget what I'm about to tell you. But the
two filler is for any holes and cracks up to
about an inch wide.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
The the tub is more of like a trowel grade formula,
so larger cracks and small holes, let's not try to
fill potholes with it, right, but if you have anything
a little bigger than an inch and then the poorable
filler is.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
For repairs up to three quarter inches wide.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
So it's basically just slightly different you know, massive formulas.
It gets a little bit thicker as your hole get larger.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So yeah, when you need more guts, get that one.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Huh, exactly right. Everyone really likes the porable because it's
so easy. It's you know, slip this spout, you pour
that out.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
It's really great.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
But do you know, do the due diligence and bust
up the call gun if you've got something a little.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Bit thicker for that.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
So it's interesting driveway sailors. I mean they've changed dramatically.
And if you don't know, you've been living under a rock.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Uh, I mean they really have changed. Are these these
are pretty much acrylics or what is.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The base to them now because you can use them
and I'm not going to say all kinds of weather,
but they're very versatile.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
They are so now nowadays they're asful emulsions, right, so
they're more voc compliant and easier to use. And like
I said, the seven to ten year formula are also
have a gel in it that kind of keeps all
the settlement suspended, so that instead of you know, getting
your drill mix around like you used to have to
do in your strenuous work beforehand to get everything mixed up,
(23:33):
everything's kind of ready to go right out of the bucket.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
A quick stir and you're good to go. So it's
really come a long way.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Well, I've been doing this for thirty nine years, and
after about five years of doing it, my moniker suddenly
became I'm all about easy times limited and you know,
when you want to and you have a home, you
got to maintain that home.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's a big investment. But boy, the easier. I can
make that project for myself. I'm all in.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
So let's talk about that drive Max one thousand. You
say it's a Gelf formula. I just picked it up
at Low's er Ace and I get it home. Walk
me through the whole process on how you use the
drive Max one thousand.
Speaker 10 (24:15):
Sure, So the drive Max one thousand is our like
I said Criminla Crime, because this is going to be
the easiest, fastest, quickest product to use. It is Eurothing
enhanced and it's got some speed dry features in it. So,
as you mentioned before, the most important part of any
home project is the prep work. So you want to
pick a nice sunny day, start in the morning and
(24:38):
just go ahead and sweep off your driveway, give it
a nice pressure wash, and then if you have any
oil or grease stains, treat that with the basic household degreaser.
Get that nice and clear and clean, and as it's drying,
you can actually start to fill in your cracks and
your surfaces. So you know, grab that gallon jahag or
the tube, go through, do any prep work and spot
treat those areas and then you let's say, crack killer
(25:00):
drive for only one hour, which.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Is huge, right awesome.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Yeah, in the past this used to be like a
three day project and you reduce it to one. So yeah,
So then once you've you've cleaned and you filled your surfaces,
you're ready to go and apply the actual coating.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (25:19):
So you go ahead and take a bucket, give it
a good stir, and you would apply it in one
direction on your driveway with either a brush or a
squeegee and just kind of work your way down one
thin coat for.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
The first application.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
Go ahead, get yourself some winch after that, and once
that's dry again one hour dry time so you can recoat.
So that's huge, and then apply a second coat perpendicular
to the first. Kind of get a good cross cross
hash battern to make sure you get any good coverage.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So you can use a regular sphalt driveway.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Coatings brush. It usually has a squeegee on the back.
You're basically just distributing the product.
Speaker 10 (26:02):
Then right exactly, you pour it out and I mean
if you could squeeze it, you gotta know like that
it moves like a dream.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Again that the Gael formula makes it really easy to
use the brush.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
You were just kind of used to work it into
any like a little rougher areas.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Is there an aggregate in there for traction at all?
Speaker 10 (26:19):
No? No, not there for traction, but there is a
sentiment just to be like a basic seller, right, So
it's not quite like a court paint, but it is,
you know, it's it's euthane enhanced it to give it
a sleeker finish, so it almost looks like those old
oil formulasso.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I'll tell you my friends at Sherman Williams they have
a eurothane trimming now when it's a water base, and
they use the same phrase and that the magic word
is the euthane. But they go, it looks just like
the old oil based paints. And I just did all
the woodwork in my house and it looks just like
the old oil base. So I love that finish that
you're speaking of. And that's kind of in that drive
(26:57):
Max one thousand, then.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Acting exclusively in the drive back one thousand.
Speaker 10 (27:03):
And then the other nice factor about that is there's
an extended temperature range on our one thousand. So typically
with driveway seilers you need to apply them, you know,
sixty five degrees in rising. This you can use down
to forty five degrees in rising so you can.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Get out a little ahead of season.
Speaker 10 (27:18):
If it's a little cooler in the morning, you don't
have to worry about you know, a lot of time
people here, you know, emulsions or crylics, they get a
little worried about cooler temperatures, as you should.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
But this one's, you know, it's.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
It's beefed up to be able to get out there
and do it early in the day so you could
spend your afternoon enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Well, I was just gonna say, you had to cut
that project down in half, at least half, maybe more. Yeah,
it's so, so what why is it last ten years?
Is it the your thinge? Is it the the UV protection?
I remember back as a kid, my job was to
do the driveway. We did it every year, and we
(27:54):
probably put way too much on there because in twenty
years appealed.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We don't have to worry about that anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I guess we just sealed it because we wanted it
nice and black, right.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
And so the year thing is going to keep it
looking that deeper, black er longer. It also adds some
durability to it, right, and these days too shockingly too
thin coat is definitely the way to go.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
That's going to prevent future tracking. It's going to make it.
Speaker 10 (28:17):
It's shockingly more durable, right, So it's really just a
change in technology and our kenness beine wizards these days.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Yeah, love to deliver something easy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Should we still not drive on it for a day.
Speaker 10 (28:31):
Or Yeah, I would wait twenty four to forty eight
hours depending on the humidity that it does impact the
drive time, but it is foot traffic ready in one hour,
so that's right. You don't have to worry about totally
staying off it if your dog, your kids run across
it not an issue.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Well, when we started chatting about the Blackjack codings a
few years ago, you know, you were just kind of
introducing this whole technology to people.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Obviously it's been well received. It's where is it available now? Oh?
Speaker 10 (29:01):
It is available through the majority of your local hardware store,
So I don't want to pick favorites whoever.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
You shop at your local dealer, is week okay? You
can get it for you.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, I know my local Waste.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'm in and out of that and I see it there,
and occasion I go to Low's and I see it there.
So I assumed you're making big headways.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
That is.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
I got to say, people love the blackjackt it's fantastic products.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Well, the web website, folks, is Blackjack Coatings dot com.
If you'd like to study a little more on the
different type of products, you certainly can remember preparations the
key and Amanda, thank you so much for joining us today.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Of course, Gary, I thought I can talk to him.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
All right, take care of kiddo, all right, bye bye,
all right. So yeah, forty three minutes past the hour
and easy to use.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I love that, last long love that and.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Easy to get so I love that. So there you go.
Sounds like a project. I don't have an asphalt driveway,
so I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Have to worry about that. Now.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
We've been talking about ceiling concrete too. But man, I'll
tell you the advancement in asphalt seilers.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's dramatic, it really is.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
So if you have questions on that or anything else
around your home, the lines are wide open.

Speaker 7 (30:55):
It's Glenn Beck weekday mornings at nine oh six on
fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
All right, back here it we go.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
We are about eleven minutes before the top of the
air talking a little home improvement.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Happy to have you.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
If you'd like to join us, do so and we'll
talk about your project. First up is Gail Gail Welcome.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Hi, thank you very much for taking my Cally Welcome.
I have two problems. One is in the spring and
early summer, my backyard is about fifty by fifty and
it retains water won't drain. And I have a drain
in the yard on the right side that the city
put in. And then the city owns the ten feet
(31:39):
behind my property the water department. There's a big tank
about five blocks down, so I don't know. The left
side of the property has a slope from the neighbor's
yard of about three feet, you know, easy slope, and
the back has a little slope, so I don't know.
I received a I bought this house papers it said
(32:02):
you may not have water standing in your yard. So
they were aware of it, but they didn't tell me.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
So what's this draining from? Again? I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
The left side drains from the house on that side,
and that's the little I mean, I guess it does.
It's about a three foot slope a little hilly on
the left side.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I mean, is it coming off the from the gutters
or is it just coming from the land or.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Discharge.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
It's mostly coming from when it rains and then it
just sits there as far as I can tell, because
it's only in the spring and early summer when it's raining.
We had a lot of rain this every I've been
here two years. In both years it's done that.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So we got a little we get a little pond
over there.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Long if you walk on it, you know you're squish squish.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Right, So okay, go on.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Well, I'm just afraid if I go to sell this
house then I'm going to be a big problem, right
I really, you know, don't want I want it to
work properly.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Anyway, right, Well, what have you done to get it
to work properly?
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Nothing?
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Okay, okay, so it eventually drives up.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Okay, So what we gotta do first is we gotta
you know, I can't see the property and how it's
you know, how it's all put together, and what's causing it.
It sounds like it's a drainage issue around the house
where you know, it's kind of flowing in that area,
it has nowhere to really go and it just lays
their wet.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
And so what we got to do?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
You know, I coinness a long time ago is really
not about water proofing.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
It's really water control all the way around your house.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Even if your basement was leaking because that it's still
about controlling the water. So you know, as I'm just
visualizing it, you know, I can visualize maybe like putting
in an underground.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
French drain and taking that somewhere. Again, depends where the
fall of the land land is.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You've got to have soil tests for its percolation, how
dense it is, where we can move it, and really
what you want to You don't have any problems with
the house. It's mainly the yard. Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (34:25):
It's the back twenty five feet SA it's about fifty feet,
so it's the back twenty five feet.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
So what I would do is I would contact an
excavator because that's what they do. They control the flow
of the water based on the flow of the land. Okay,
so whether we have to capture that water in a
piping system to move it somewhere and then release it,
or whether we have to put there's even outdoor sump
(34:53):
wells where we could pump it somewhere. Maybe a filler
in that low swale would create.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
A runoff over that.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I mean, there's multiple there's multiple answers to the problem.
It's just you got to get somebody that can take
a look at the layer of the land and as
you know, as an excavator, maybe they got to move dirt,
maybe they got to add dirt, Maybe they just got
a trench and put pipe. That's where I would start,
(35:24):
Gail is, start with the ideas. They also know the
laws of the municipalities of what you can and can't do.
You don't want to be moving the water right next
to the house next door, so you know, you got
to be careful on that. But yeah, that's what I
would do, Gail is, get and if you even if
(35:44):
you get a couple of them, get some ideas, get some.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Bids on what it would.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Be and what you'll come out of that whole processes
is ideas and you know, we can work and you
know what that cost is going to be, because it
could be a big cost, it could be minimal. It
just really depends on how things are, how things are
setting we got a problem, that's how we would start
(36:11):
the solution process, right.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
And the weird part is that the city put a
drain in the yard towards the back on the right side,
there's a drain, but the water doesn't flow down to
the drain.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, so maybe that's the answer. Is we got to
get that water to that drain and how do we
do that? And a lot of it depends on where
the water's come from. It's just rolling down the surface.
A pipe underneath will help a little bit, but maybe
we need to just change the lay of the land
a little bit. So that's that's really what you're looking
(36:47):
at doing. Is you know there, I had my second house.
The one before this one had the same thing with
a neighbor that had all kinds of problems. It was
like the way the thing was, the way the subdivision
in that street was built, It's like everything ran to
this guy's yard, and you know, the poor guy sitting there.
He bought the house and he did the same thing.
(37:09):
He started looking and they put in almost like a
catch basin to catch it, and then a pump and
they would pump it down further and out into the
uh the creek that was down at the bottom, but
that water couldn't get there without that retention well and
then a pump. So it really does depend on how
(37:32):
you can do it. It's normally answerable, but you got
to get somebody in there really to identify what the
problem is and create a solution.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Right last year, the neighbor next story has a big
yard two like me, had stayed like a little lake
on the fire side.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, so you know, the the topography is one thing
where that water's being shoved to that area. The other
thing is you know, a high wall, water table or
a spring that can add to it too. And it
sounds to me like that's not the issue. But they'll
do that test. It could be, Yeah, it could be.
They'll do those tests on the soils to find out,
(38:13):
you know, the volume of the soil and the type
of the soil, you know, if it's clay, if it's
sandy based. That all goes into play and solving the problem.
Speaker 5 (38:22):
Right, Well, I wrote that all down as fast as
I could.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I yeah, And that'll be a starting point. You know,
that will be a starting point. And that's exactly what
you'll do. You'll get some ideas, you'll get more comfortable
asking the questions, and you can even bring up the
third party in.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I mean, that's just you know, that's kind of what
you're going to.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Work on and then make a plan and get it
done and problem's gone.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Thank you much for the call, appreciate it all right.
