Many of things can go wrong when you seal substrates that are too hot or the temperature makes the product too cold. Let\u2019s find out why temperature plays an integral role in a successful seal job.<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s Cold as Ice<\/h2>\n<p>This is exactly what can happen if you seal in too cold of temperatures. Your sealer can freeze! You don\u2019t want the temperatures to be so low as to affect the viscosity of the product, like in the cooler months, from being able to freely flow through the sprayers or absorb into your pavers. If it\u2019s too cold the product will be thickened and not able to absorb into the substrate as freely as it would on a warmer day.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to consider is that when temperatures are low, moisture can get trapped in the substrates. This can cause efflorescence and moisture to appear as a haze once the temperature rises and the substrate dries.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s ideal in cold weather to seal? Definitely not when the temperature is freezing! 50\u00b0 or above is recommend ground temperature. Ground temperature is important because the air can be warmer than the ground and the ground helps the substrate stay warm enough for the water in the substrate to dry. So be patient enough for the warmer temps\u2026but not too warm.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@decoproductsinc\/video\/6985644743887801606\" data-video-id=\"6985644743887801606\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@decoproductsinc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@decoproductsinc?refer=embed\">@decoproductsinc<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Problem Solved!!

The increased heat can cause flash drying to occur on your pavers, if you seal them in the afternoon, making morning the prime time of day for sealing in the warmer months.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re trying to seal on a hot day you may want to pull out your temperature gun and get a good reading on the pavers you are about to seal. If they\u2019re too hot your product could flash dry. Flash drying is when the substrate you\u2019re trying to seal is so hot that the sealer starts to dry before it\u2019s had an opportunity to properly penetrate or adhere. This can cause streaking to occur throughout your surface and cause your sealer to not properly waterproof the substrate.<\/p>\n<p>How hot is too hot you ask? Well the air temperature should be less than 95 \u00b0 and your surface temperature should be less than 105-110\u00b0. We highly recommend investing in a temperature gun, they are worth the money you pay, and you\u2019ll save yourself lots of upsets on jobs than if you had waited the extra day the job would have come out spectacularly.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@decoproductsinc\/video\/6987017141174242565\" data-video-id=\"6987017141174242565\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@decoproductsinc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@decoproductsinc?refer=embed\">@decoproductsinc<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>What should you seal early in the morning?? <a title=\"decoproducts\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/decoproducts?refer=embed\">#decoproducts<\/a> @markt316 @exclusivewashandseal<\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - decoproductsinc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-6987017010207017734?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; decoproductsinc<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decoproducts.com\/\">Deco Products<\/a> not only do we offer you the best products to use, but we also offer free skilled training on how to use them.
