I have found that styrofoam insulation board works very well for edging. The pieces are 2′ X 4′ by 3/8 thick. Light and manuverable, plus they don”t cost much. They call it “fanfold” and it’s available most places that sell home siding.
I think that you need to clear up wether we’re talking brush or spray first, as there are different methods for both. For brush: I use 8″ Scrub type brushes, (available at Aubuchon) for the “fine” work, and the regular 36″ broom for the edging in a driveway. I agree that it is probably the most difficult thing to get the feel for with sealcoating. Best advice—Take your time, till you learn. It gets easier from there and faster will follow naturally !
For those of you who may be interested: The Shindiawa line is in the process of a merger with another company. At the present time, there are no parts available. Be advised, they may be phaseing out!!
I think that infrared work in the winter is going to depend a lot on where you are located. I’m in Maine, and I’m here to tell ya, it’s no picnic, but for those that jump into the water, it can be very rewarding. In the cold states the asphalt producers pretty much shut down, so you have to plan ahead for a source of supply for your RECLAIMER. (not hot box) There is top dollar work out there with gas & telephone companies around the larger metropolitan areas. They are not going to come looking for YOU. To get started, you need to “dig them out” and tell them how your new service can benefit them. Infrared is relativly new, and many potential consumers need to be “taken to school” and shown how the service can benefit them. In the coming weeks and months, I will be happy to try and answer specific questions about this emerging technology but it’s pretty hard to give a general overview because of the variety of areas and parts of the country different dealers live in. What would work for a dealer in the south, might not work in the North, and vice versa. Also, what works in the city, might not stand a chance in the country. I’m sure you all get the point. For now, I’ll just be ready to answer your questions as best I can.
