I’ve tried using a paint stir stick, but is there an easier way to mix 5 gallon pails?
First, we realize that traditionally stirring has been the most difficult part of the asphalt driveway sealing project. That’s why Gardner and Black Jack have created patented no-stir driveway sealers to make your job much easier. However, if you buy one of our E-Z stir products, there are some techniques that make stirring even faster and easier. • First, before opening the pails make sure the lid is securely fastened. Then flip over the pail and store on its lid for at least 24 hours prior to using the product. Flip over and shake slightly before opening the lid. The flip back over and stir. Mixing should be much easier. • Second, you can use an empty pail to pour two or more pails together back and forth (a process called “boxing.”) This is particularly useful to achieve a uniform finish if you are not sure whether all of your pails came from the same original batch. • A third option is to buy a mixing blade attachment for your power drill, available at many hardware stores and home
