What happens here

Load bags of rock salt or other de-icing agents into a walk-behind push spreader. Carefully pour the salt into the spreader's hopper, making sure not to overfill it. Walk in a systematic pattern across the newly cleared areas and walkways, evenly distributing the de-icing agent. Focus particular attention on high-traffic zones, ramps, steps, and any shaded areas that are prone to re-freezing. The video highlights the use of 'VAPORIZER ICE MELTER ROCK SALT' and a 'Red Devil' spreader.

Goal: Apply de-icing agent to prevent ice formation and improve traction.

Tools and materials

been doing it here at this account you know when I talk I say so many things wrong and you're gonna hear it in a minute I say I don't we don't do a ton of snow plowing what I mean is we don't do a ton of salting so there's nothing special or secret about how we do it we don't do a ton of snow plowing but we do got to make sure that we get the right salt for the temperature I'll show you guys something I'll show these guys helmet what's your application rate Frankie do you know you just look at how much salts going on the lot pretty much that is the dirtiest looking rock salt I've seen this is that temperatures tough door what's that scene yeah they were slipping it sliding in the parking lot so so Chantal called me two weeks ago about salting this I gave her a price that heard nothing so Frankie you're saying this is the temperature stuff so this salt so this salta work colder so you guys I know a lot of you guys already know this but case you don't salt works only at certain temperatures different mixes of salt and it's not the air temperature you got to actually take a temp probe on the ground to get it to work so wheat when we go and buy the salt we buy bags because we can have a thirty degree day like we have today or we could have a negative three degree day and the same salt at 30 degrees does not work at three degrees you need a different mixture and so then we have to please specifically buy salt no wait we picked up was colder temperature salt because at night the temp could drop down on us and it'll still be effective at a higher temperature but it's more expensive so this up was twice as much as the warmer temperature salt I know that sounds stupid but you can buy pretty cheap standard rock salt for a water softener for four or five bucks a bag and this stuff is six bucks and you only get 50 pounds of bag instead of 80 pounds
