    Fantastic video. When I first saw this video my first words were " this driveway 100% needs replacement" as a contractor I probably would have passed on it BUT as a homeowner I love seeing this. It gives you a year or 2 to save for a new driveway. You can also take the torch and burn the vegetation (weeds) which could be a lot quicker.
    This is the perfect weekend project for a homeowner and could save you hundreds if not thousands

      You can put a coat of paint on anything. Seal coats don't fix anything. They only preserve what you've got. That driveway will look like hell in a year - the weeds will come right back. Better just to rip it out, fix the subbase and drainage, and build it to last.

      @@Poppacap79 Agreed. But slapping a coat of paint over damaged substrate is a complete waste of money - aka putting lipstick on a pig. And having charlatan RUclipsrs claim it is anything other than lipstick on a pig is simply grifting clueless viewers.

      @@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb I don’t know about all that. I do know that my driveway is going to need to be replaced within a few years and it’s an expense I can’t cover. If I tried this and it helped me delay the inevitable while I saved my money, it seems like a reasonable and affordable temporary fix. I think that was the point of this video.

      Give it 6-12 months and it will look just as bad. Seal coats are just like paint - if the subsurface isn't sound, no amount of paint will fix it.
      Seal coats should be applied on sound asphalt as preventative maintainance on a regular schedule, not as some joke attempt to magically fix failed asphalt. That driveway was badly built (probably no subbase/compaction/drainage) and it failed as you'd expect. This seal coat was simply putting lipstick on a pig.

    Spot on video! Kudos to you! Your the only one to point out my secret, no more! Remove a little sealer out of bucket for, yes, sand displacement, most importantly when adding sand, it's creates a sealer slurry, for not only slip resistance like you said but most importantly, it FILLS the alligator cracks. Most people your paying take 3 buckets of sealer, take 1/4 out of each into another bucket, add water to all and make 4 buckets and gives you a not so nice watered down sealer and makes them more money!
