Seamless Spray Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION: What is PACE’s SEAMLESS SPRAY system? ANSWER: A complete unit (Pump, Spray Gun & 200 feet of Hoses) especially designed to apply PACE’s WET-JET, SILVERLEAF and WHITE-STAR roof coatings. QUESTION: Does the customer need any special equipment other than the SEAMLESS SPRAY Unit? ANSWER: Yes – Adequate air supply to be furnished by the customer. Air compressor must be capable of delivering a minimum of 150 CFM (cubic feet per minute) at 120 PSI (pounds per square inch). These compressors are available through local rentals. QUESTION: What will SEAMLESS SPRAY do? ANSWER: Pump PACE coatings direct from ground level up on to the roof where coating is then easily and quickly sprayed onto the roof. QUESTION: How fast is SEAMLESS SPRAY? ANSWER: A three man crew, even without previous experience with SEAMLESS SPRAY Equipment will apply up to 30,000 sq. ft. in an 8 hour day. QUESTION: Is a skilled spray man needed? ANSWER: No – Complete directions simplify setting up and operation of equipment so that professional results are obtained with unskilled labor. You need just one reliable man to supervise the SEAMLESS SPRAY job to get professional results. This man sets up the equipment, then handles the pole gun, which is where you need the most savvy. The other men (one at the pump, the other moving the hoses on the roof) can be hired from a labor pool. QUESTION: How does a three man crew operate SEAMLESS SPRAY? ANSWER: Ground man operates compressor and SEAMLESS SPRAY pump. He transfers SEAMLESS SPRAY pump from empty to full drums for continuous operation. One man can handle pump. But since it weighs 150 pounds, transferring from barrel to barrel is easier with two men. QUESTION: What do the other men do? ANSWER: Second man on roof tends air line and material line. Keeps lines out of sprayed areas so that spray gun operator is free to operate the gun at maximum capacity for fast application. QUESTION: What does the pole gun man do? ANSWER: This man is the key to fast and easy application. It’s virtually automatic to get the knack of handling the spray gun. Very little adjusting of material flow is ever necessary. QUESTION: What about wind and spraying? ANSWER: This is seldom, if ever, a factor. It takes a wind of unusually high velocity to blow the spray any great distance. On days of high winds, people do not do roof work, even with conventional methods. Of course, common sense should be exercised in parking cars so precautions are taken in the event a wind develops during the application. QUESTION: How is “free time” on loan agreement determined? ANSWER: See your agreement form. The size of the order determines the length of free time. QUESTION: What if weather of other factors delay starting until free time has run out? ANSWER: Savings through the use of SEAMLESS SPRAY equipment are so great that nominal rental charges are not a factor when compared to these savings over conventional hand application methods. QUESTION: What are advantages of SEAMLESS SPRAY over hand application besides cost savings? ANSWER: (1) Speed in application allows true “SEAMLESS” coating. Complete roof is done so quickly that coating sets and cures as one continuous roofing film. (2) No buckets, pails or barrels hauled up on to roof surface. Saves labor as all material is pumped direct from ground level. QUESTION: Is equipment easy to set up and use? ANSWER: Definitely – Our directions are simple and completely diagrammed to enable quick assembly for operation. QUESTION: How about interruptions – coffee breaks – lunch hour? ANSWER: No special requirements – restart equipment when you’re ready to resume. Follow instructions in spray manual. QUESTION: How about overnight shutdown? ANSWER: Pump material out of hoses and gun with solvent (mineral spirits or kerosene). Easy directions included for overnight shutdown and for cleanup prior to reshipping SEAMLESS SPRAY back to our designated Re-Conditioning Station.
