About this item

  • It stays spongy in solvent. That is the property Techniseal calls out, and it is the difference between a cover that lasts a job and one that disintegrates on it.
  • It does not compress. A cover that packs flat carries less sealer with every pass, so the coat thins as you go and the finish varies across the surface.
  • The slits release sealer evenly, which is what produces a thin uniform film rather than heavy and light patches.
  • It makes application quick and easy. On a large surface, an applicator that keeps working is worth more than the few dollars it costs.
  • Rated for asphalt protectors too, not just paver sealers, so it covers both kinds of work.

Why Techniseal Slit-Foam Roller?

It Stays Spongy In Solvent, Which Is The Whole Reason It Exists

A roller cover that packs down stops carrying sealer and starts dragging it. That is where lap marks and streaks come from, and it usually happens halfway across the patio.

Description

It Stays Spongy In Solvent, Which Is The Whole Reason It Exists

Ordinary foam swells and breaks down partway through a solvent based sealing job, and you end up picking pieces of it off the patio. This roller is made for solvent based paver and asphalt protectors specifically. Techniseal states it does not compress and remains spongy, which is what lets it lay a thin, even film from the first pass to the last.

Roller covers are consumables. Plan on a fresh one per job and carry a spare, because running out mid patio and finishing with a different cover leaves a visible line you cannot fix afterwards.

Where Techniseal Slit-Foam Roller Works

Any solvent based sealing job done by hand rather than sprayed.

  • Applying Techniseal WL4, WL5, or WL-87 solvent based sealers
  • Asphalt protector application
  • Paver patios, walkways, and pool decks
  • Tight areas, borders, steps, and cut ins where a sprayer cannot work cleanly
  • Second coat work needing even control
  • Jobs where overspray onto siding, planting, or a pool would be a problem

Where Techniseal Slit-Foam Roller Should NOT Be Used (Straight From the Manufacturer)

This is rated for solvent based protectors. For water based Techniseal sealers such as NS, JS, JSW, and CB+, use a cover rated for water based products.

Do not press hard. Let the nap carry the sealer; leaning on the roller squeezes it out and causes lap marks.

Do not try to reclaim a used cover from a solvent job overnight. Treat it as a consumable.

Always test your sealer in a small discrete area before doing the whole surface.

How to Use Techniseal Slit-Foam Roller

Follow the sealer technical data sheet first. This is the shape of the job:

  1. Confirm your sealer is a solvent based product suited to this cover.
  2. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and cured per the sealer instructions.
  3. Load the cover and roll off the excess on the tray before touching the paver.
  4. Work in thin even passes with light pressure, keeping a wet edge so passes blend.
  5. Watch the low spots on textured pavers and spread any sealer that starts collecting.
  6. Let the coat flash off per the sealer instructions before deciding on a second.

Buy one more cover than you think you need. It is the cheapest insurance on the job and running out mid surface is not recoverable.

Quick Answers

Can I use it with a water based sealer?
This one is rated for solvent based protectors. Use a water based rated cover for NS, JS, JSW, and CB+.

Why slit foam rather than a nap roller?
The slits release sealer evenly into the surface texture instead of letting it pool in the low areas.

Will it fall apart in solvent?
That is what it is built against. Techniseal specifies it does not compress and remains spongy in solvent based products.

Can I use it on asphalt sealer?
Yes, Techniseal rates it for asphalt protectors as well as paver protectors.

How many will I need?
Plan on a fresh cover per job, and carry a spare.
