Abstract:
1. A tack coat applicator comprising: a hand truck comprising a substantially rigid frame having a handle section at a first end and a set of wheels separated by an axle at a second end, and a platform extending substantially perpendicular to the rigid frame proximate the wheels; a bucket disposed against the hand truck frame, the bucket having a rear sidewall substantially parallel to the frame between the set of wheels and the handle section, the bucket having a voluminous storage portion for storing tack coat material, removeably positioned on the platform, the bucket comprising an output in the rear sidewall of the bucket for dispensing the tack coat material, the output comprising a valve and nozzle assembly extending from the rear sidewall of the bucket through a rear of the hand truck, the output positioned between an operator and the bucket; and whereby applying a pulling force on the tack coat applicator allows the operator to be positioned ahead of the output to avoid stepping in or around applied tack coat material, reducing operator fatigue and tack coat smudge.
