TL;DR
Spray application is the delivery of asphalt sealer through a pressurized wand or distributor bar, atomizing the material into an even film across the pavement. It covers large areas fast and leaves a uniform, brush-mark-free finish, but puts down less material per pass than a squeegee and will not push sealer into open cracks and voids.
What it means
Spray application is the delivery of asphalt sealer through a pressurized wand or distributor bar, atomizing the material into an even film across the pavement. It covers large areas fast and leaves a uniform, brush-mark-free finish, but puts down less material per pass than a squeegee and will not push sealer into open cracks and voids. Many contractors therefore squeegee the first coat and spray the second, and windy days require shielding to keep overspray off cars and siding.
