Spring Tips for Product Application and Handling

The early spring brings with it an uptick in business tied to rising temperatures through much of the country and the ability to begin new projects that cannot be executed in the winter.  While it is getting warmer, we still need to be prudent during these transition weeks as we apply and store products.

Here are some tips to keep in mind.

Product Application

While daytime highs may be summer-like, it is typical for evenings to remain cool and ambient temperature swings to be considerable. The time change has allowed us an extra hour of sunlight later in the day and can add to a false sense of security.

  • Be cautious not to apply material too late in the afternoon as the sun goes down and temperatures drop.
  • Make sure to allow for at least three hours of sunlight on freshly spray product to insure a “skin” that may protect the coating against dew and cool temps. On a cloudy or overcast day, allow up to an hour longer.
  • In the morning, give yourself time to properly stage all equipment and product and plan on spraying once the dew is flashed off the roof completely. Any surface moisture will inhibit product adhesion to the substrate and adversely affect short- and long term product performance.


    • Shipping Lead Time

    As we surge into the busy season, keep in mind that Aldo runs production of all products on a Just-In- Time basis. We have been fortunate with very short lead times from our supplier base. This allows us to put your orders in our production planning system the day we receive them, schedule production and ship your order within 48 hours, which is the time frame in which we ship over 90% of all orders. This system guarantees that you will get fresh product on the job site for all those large projects to where we ship 55 gallon drums.  So work with your Aldo sales rep on specific project requirements and order product with a pre-determined ship date. This we can make sure you get fresh product on the day you need it.

    Product Handling

    Always keep pails and drums out of direct sunlight at all times. Cover all packaging with tarps and you will maximize shelf life and insure you are applying fresh, premium ALDOCOAT material.
