Pro tip: Always check the weather before you seal a driveway

Last spring in San Antonio, I sealed a client's driveway on a Tuesday and it rained 4 hours later. The whole job turned into a sticky, bubbled mess and I had to redo it for free on Friday. Has anyone else learned a hard lesson from not checking the radar before a job?

Oh man that hurts. I always check now but sometimes you just get caught.

But was it really a freak storm, or is it more about how radar just can't keep up with fast-moving systems these days? I swear half the time I look at the forecast it's already out of date before I get outside. And you're right, even when you double-check, sometimes the rain finds you anyway. How many times have you been burned by that afternoon pop-up that nobody saw coming?

Fionamurphy's right about checking, but honestly that rain might have been a freak storm that slipped past the radar. We had one in Dallas that showed zero chance and dumped on us anyway.
