Driveway Elastomeric Emulsion Crack Filler

I filled cracks and the gap between the asphalt and Belgian blocks along the edge of the driveway before I applied the driveway sealer. This was about 4 weeks ago and I am pretty happy with the final job. We'll see how it all holds up over our Zone 7 winter. You definitely need to shake the container well before and periodically while using the product. The spout did clog once in a while but I just cleared it with a twig. At some point I was getting out the filler by squeezing the bottom of the jug with both hands. So it did take some hand strength and coordination to empty the jug where you wanted it to go. Be sure to check the weather before applying as it will wash out when it hasn't dried. I found this out when I sprayed water on a bit of section I had filled. No harm done but I needed to reapply the filler.

Well, aside from being a bit pricey - any higher and would have passed on it's "convenience" - use aspect.However, it performed better than describe and that was 14 November at 60F ambient with the Container Kept near a heat source for a day to make sure was in the area of 70F or so. And, I did periodically shake it - and not more than a fast 120 secs, rolled it to the other side, and kept is Nozzle Down. I had no "consistency' or "gobbing" issues at all.Actually the 1/8" cut would have been fine. I cut maybe 4-5 mm hole and was fine, but had to be more careful in tipping it to pour. However, if doing all 1/4" or more cracks, 5 mm was perfect.Of course, some settling occurred and went back over which was not problem since in about 15 min or so (guessing) turned "black" from it's lighter pour color and was hardening. I think (guessing) I was out there about an hour 1-2 at most and by the time I was done, the "drips" I didn't wipe were hard, like pebbles (not, just a comparison for appearance, feel).I kept a narrow, natural hair brush, ~1/2" and long haired, but a "cheap" spot brush, not stiff and not nylon and just shifted the thicker pours and worked in quickly the rest. It applied as expected, better than actually.I am sure if left it as it, for this winter, I'd maintain - as is my plan, then do a heavy coat re-sealing in the spring. However, I'll level it up as appropriate today -- the next day another 60F +- ambient, no less than 50F and no rain for more than 24hrs anticipated.So, for any less than favorable reviews, I am glad it didn't got like that - and it did not. And, all I did to prep was stiff Broom Swept. Anything more - just would not make a difference in my situation - there was nothing more to do than that. The wind blew and etc. and anthing that messed up my prep, well, no effect really.What I like too was the label instructions says, correctly, the surface can be moist or "wet" just not like standing water and soaked. So, if had a more warm day, if one was to give it a good hosing if needed it - you'd be good to go an hour or so later - correct?!, well, I would and comment it if helps anyone wondering. In my area, there's always going to be some - no bone dry conditions and don't think that level of dry is actually better for this in terms of binding with the surface and below it. So, meaning any bit's of dirt that may be there, it bound to and stuck it hard to the surface (made sure to get that cleaned up prior to *hardening" hard).I hope that helps someone!

I purchased another gallon of the sealer in order to finish the cracks on the driveway and to apply a second coat in certain areas. My experience was the same as with the first gallon. The sealer was easy to apply and dried with a nice black color.If I need more after the winter months, I'll buy this sealer again. I'm puzzled as to why some others got negative results and posted one star. I'm very pleased with the results.

I have several deep cracks in my driveway, some going down to the dirt. This product was able to fill all of the cracks and looks decent enough until I can repave the entire driveway. The filler is fairly thin and starts to dry in the bottle as soon as it's exposed to air, so constant shaking is required. If you've got deeper cracks, the filler will settle into the cracks as it dries and you will most likely need a second, possibly third application. I was able to complete my standard 2 garage driveway with 4 bottles.For some reason, shipping on these takes close to 2 weeks so I would suggest ordering a bit more then you think you need, or else you will have to wait a couple weeks to complete the job (like me).

The very first thing I did was read the back of the gallon bottle. It said to shake the heck out of it for a couple minutes. I did. It said to take the top off to grab the spout and flip it upright. I put on a pair of latex gloves, grabbed a couple paper towels, grabbed the spout and cleaned it off and then I put it through the cap spout side up. Simple and no mess. Then I cut the top about 1/4". Directions say 1/8 inch. How would tar flow through an 1/8 in hole? I don't think it would so that's why I cut it 1/4". Outside temperature was about 80 degrees. The tar flowed easily into the cracks that I had cleaned prior to using this stuff. Take your time putting the tar in the cracks and it does a good job. The color is brown when applied and then turns a sort of black color, It takes a couple hours or so before you can walk on it. Directions said to put sand on it so it won't track. If you seal your driveway it's important to know black top sealer doesn't stick to dirt ! I can't rate on how well this will hold up. I just applied it today. When I finished filling the crack I took it to my shop, grabbed a big nail and stick in in the spout and wrapped the spout with plastic and a rubber band. I guess I would buy this again even though I believe it's water based instead of oil based.

Fantastic for filling cracks in black top just make sure you shake it wellwould highly recommend
