How to: Repair cracks and weathering Use vinyl cement to redirect water run off Clean with a power washer Seal coat Follow up on cement adhesion and quality of seal coating
Thanks for your comment. I don't get many, so, although a little late, I can respond to most. If you are doing your driveway, I hope it turns out well:-)
I've seen a lot of bad reviews for the store bought brands of sealcoat like Latex-ite, Black Jack, Henry and others. A lot of reviews where the product washes away with rain or starts peeling right up a few months. What do you recommend or what have you had the best experience with?
Thanks for the comment and query. I used Latex-ite Optimum and Latex-ite Trowel Patch. I say they both worked well. My drive way was very weathered. Almost all was solid. Not a lot of cracks. No oil stains. I power washed before applying. Patched first and sealed last. The most critical thing to do is clean it. The better the cleaning the better the adhesion. If your driveway is pretty flat, I suggest you use a soap and stiff broom, then aggressively rinse it off for best results.
Thanks for the video. Can it be used as blacktop crack filler to fill the crack and shallow gap? Also can it be used as driveway sealer to coat the whole asphalt driveway?
My driveway was badly weathered. For the big cracks I used a filler first, then, for the small cracks, gaps and the rest of the driveway, I used the sealer. I think this answers your question.
That Zip-Loc bag was a brilliant idea...thanks for the tip! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice job sir! On the job and the video.
Love your video. I learned from it and thank you for showing what happened during the winter season. 🎉😊

I would like to hear Dave Strands opinion on this. I feel he would add expertise.
Stoff1: You peeked my interest, so I searched Dave and found there are many of them. Perhaps you are an incognito Dave:-)
Thanks
Great video!
