It depends on the product. The deep fill crack filler from latexite takes about 8 hours to dry from my experience. There's still a risk that it will either stain or not adhere if prematurely coated with driveway sealer. To stop this, I just apply the day before. TBH, I've stopped using cold pour cracks. Dalton Enterprises 36099 PLI-STIX 60 Ft. Asphalt and Concrete Crack Filler (2 Pack) a.co/d/8IFKytA I'm pretty sure Dalton Enterprises also makes Latexite. I've been using this since August and within 5 minutes you can seal the driveway. Thanks for the comment
Not too long. I'll take a leaf blower to help speed up drying after pressure washing. It's also OK if there's some moisture. I'd say maybe 30 minutes to an hour. Thanks for your comment 👍
We have a flar gravel driveway approx 80 sq metres in Melnourne Australia. Is your product available in Australia? Can it be used to cover our pebble drive? Brian C
My driveway is over 35 years old and I have to do this every year since I'm in North New Jersey. The one crack opened up due to our winters. I'll be making a video on how to use crackstix to hot seal that crack. Driveway looks OK but I'm going to reseal again. Every time after I reseal it looks like a brand new driveway. 👌3 buckets $60 investment for upkeep OK by me!
No this does not sadly. It's only meant for asphalt. I've never tried though. Depending on locations, I'm sure your local big box hardware store has concrete patch and sealers for your driveway.
Matters on your sg ft I think a bucket covers like 347sq ft. Not 100 percent sure. It will show when you Google it . Will determine how big your drive way is
I only needed 3 buckets of sealant for this driveway. But I also do this yearly so if you have not sealed your driveway recently, it might be a lot more.
Not soaking wet but if there's a little dampness it's ok 👌 even preferred on a really hot day with a driveway baking in the sun. Once you out down the sealer? That heats going to bond it and thicken it up so a little moisture on the driveway is great but anything pooling or pudding is asking for trouble. Thanks for commenting!
It really depends on the last time you sealed a driveway and how many coats. This one coat was about 2 and 1/2 buckets. If you haven't sealed your driveway in a long time..say 3-5+ years it will definitely be more since the asphalt will absorb more sealant.
On a driveway like yours, yes, a squeegee is better. On an older driveway that's more porous, you'll wanna go with a broom or brush for better coverage.
I got horrible results from this product. 1st it didn't cover the recommended sq ft it had on the label, I got about 1/2 that amount, then I bought 10 5 gal buckets and most of the liquid had a different thickness while mixing. it was all applied at around 85 degrees outside and it cracked and all came up the next day. During my prep I pressured washed the black top 3 times blew it off with a blower to make sure no dirt or dust was on the surface. I went above and beyond cleaning the surface. There is no oil or grease on the surface it's a black top area at a barn, so it just gets foot traffic no vehicle traffic. I do not recommend this product at all. I notified the mfg and sent pictures and they asked for more to try to determine why the product failed, then they wanted more pictures. That is when I said no, I'm not sending more pictures I explained each step I took to clean the surface explained how I applied it and they wanted more pictures. I gave close up pictures and over view and that wasn't good enough because they didn't want to say they had something wrong with their product. I later looked at the Home Depot site where other people had the same experience as I got using this same product.. so it wasn't the way I applied it or the way I cleaned the black top it was a problem with the product...
Hey Tom sorry about your bad experience with this... I've had a few situations arise from how you described. One of the biggest problems that can occur is this product becoming frozen during winter months. My local home depot I guess left a few buckets on a pallet and these froze which separated the water from sand and other chemicals. They never stored inside and when summer came I bought a lot of units. When I applied, it didn't have any good color that it usually had in the past and it was flaking up when any vehicles drove so you'd see the tracks. Did manufacturer ever correct the problem? Pics alone should be proof in the pudding from what you're describing. Sorry for your experience lol you can always hire me brother! Thanks for the comment.
Definitely does not cover area as advertised. Be prepared to buy double the amount. Two trips to the depot a half hour away made the job a pain in the ass. I'm not sure I would reccomend this product based on my personal experience and wish I had chosen an alternative.
Nice job. Thanks for showing me how it’s done.👍🏻
Thanks a lot for your video. I was scared to do that on my own, bur now, after your good tips I am full of confidence. Great job 👍
Well done! You’re doing it yourself!
that looks reallyo nice. good job.
thanks a bunch for this. great video. peace
Thanks much. Wish me luck!
How long you waited until applying sealant after you filled the cracks ?
It depends on the product. The deep fill crack filler from latexite takes about 8 hours to dry from my experience. There's still a risk that it will either stain or not adhere if prematurely coated with driveway sealer. To stop this, I just apply the day before. TBH, I've stopped using cold pour cracks.

@@infinityhomeservices Great info, thank you.
Hi. Nice job. I have a customer and he wants to do the same work. How much did you get just for you job?
Charge $35 per 5 gallons plus $50 per hour labor
How long did you wait for the water to dry?
Not too long. I'll take a leaf blower to help speed up drying after pressure washing. It's also OK if there's some moisture. I'd say maybe 30 minutes to an hour.
Thanks for your comment 👍
Do you mix sealcoating with sand so it won’t be any slippery or you don’t need to
Yes. I'll put a little in and give it a stir. Not much maybe a cup. There is sand already in it but adding def helps. Thanks for comment
@@infinityhomeservices gotcha thanks 🙏
Don't need too. It's rubberized.

It has to be asphalt my friend
How is it holding up

Does it also work on concrete drive ways...Thanks!
No this does not sadly. It's only meant for asphalt. I've never tried though. Depending on locations, I'm sure your local big box hardware store has concrete patch and sealers for your driveway.
How long after power washing can you then apply the sealer??
It can still be a little damp but not soaking wet with puddles. I did it about 15 minutes after power washing
How many backets did you use for your space
Just 3
Matters on your sg ft I think a bucket covers like 347sq ft. Not 100 percent sure. It will show when you Google it . Will determine how big your drive way is
How many buckets did you need to buy to complete that driveway
I only needed 3 buckets of sealant for this driveway. But I also do this yearly so if you have not sealed your driveway recently, it might be a lot more.
@@infinityhomeservices Thank you so much for the quick response
Is that a foam squeegee?
No, they sell them with the product at homedepot.
Yea just a regular rubber squeegee I think 13 inches
what would happen if few months later someone hit it with a surface cleaner pr pressure washer ?
I wouldn't recommend. Green tip from a safe distance 👌
Does it adhere to a wet surface? It looked like the asphalt was wet still
Not soaking wet but if there's a little dampness it's ok 👌 even preferred on a really hot day with a driveway baking in the sun. Once you out down the sealer? That heats going to bond it and thicken it up so a little moisture on the driveway is great but anything pooling or pudding is asking for trouble.
Thanks for commenting!
how has this held up???
Still good. Maybe another year or 2 but our winters haven't been horrible so that's helped
Roller better or squeeze
@@gurmeetbrah6841 squeegee all day
Can a brush be used? Mine has rocks in it, it’s not smooth.
use a concrete cement block its heavy but good
How many buckets ?

Great video F paying someone $500+
500

Lines will wash out and wear over time

Thanks for the comment.
@@infinityhomeservices it doesn't; get that cold where I'm at... I think something was wrong with the product during mfg.
It’s too thick next time pour half of the driveway sealer in an empty bucket and then pour water in it. That’ll do it. It looks better that way too.
When is pure sealer? It looks like crap. It’s very poor little bit of water in there.
Definitely does not cover area as advertised. Be prepared to buy double the amount. Two trips to the depot a half hour away made the job a pain in the ass. I'm not sure I would reccomend this product based on my personal experience and wish I had chosen an alternative.
I would have bought a proper tool if I am saving all that money !
Thank you for your input and have a blessed day
Anyone else notice he didn't reply to anyone just a heart. Maybe this is just a commercial not a real video..😒
