- I show how to seal an asphalt driveway. Put one thin coat of blacktop driveway sealer on the driveway for the best results. Check the label on the driveway sealer you are using for that product's recommendations. Some driveway sealers are put down with a squeegee and a brush, some are rolled on.

This is a very well done video for the resealing of the drive way asphalt. I had done this a few times myself and the advice is right on the money. A couple thing I would do differently though, is to wear rubber boot and short rather than sneakers and jeans, unless you are going to throw them out anyway. In addition, the sealer seems to be a bit thin, mine is a lot thicker after stirring it up, so I only pour 4 puddles across the drive way and spread them out. It is also very important that you don't do this under full sun, the dammed sealer will dry out too quickly before you can spread them out, so only put down what you can spread them out before they dry up. I'd also avoid using the brush if possible, it splatters too much but if you have rubber boots, it won't matter. Using the squeezy alone should be good enough unless the asphalt surface is too irregular and too uneven. Last but not least, make sure that all the surface is covered with the sealed coat, so that it won't peal off. Needless to say, I learned some of the lessons from my own mistakes in the first couple times (shoes and long pants).
Perfect video. Great instructions and the sounds are on point. 10/10 😎
Thanks.

Thank you sir! although I must say it looks like (@2:21) you didn't fill some cracks!
Usually you see cracks when someones pants start falling down…
I agree, it appears that there are some cracks that he didn’t fill. Nice job though in his sealing technique, very helpful.
Awesome, perfect demonstration. Thank you.

Does sealing your driveway help prevent water down to your foundation??
Hi, yes, it helps prevent cracks, and water penetration down to the sub base.

Hey, I see you are using your Klein Tools Cooling Towel!
It worked well! I had to add water a couple times but it was cooling and it kept the sun off my neck.
what brand did you use? it looks more watery than the henry one u used... which one did you like better and how are they different? lastly some leave a matte black finish and some have like a wet look finish is that a second step...?thanks
Hi, this is Sakrete premium. I recently used a gel formula that spread very easily. Here is a link ua-cam.com/video/1rpomCF7xgY/v-deo.html
💥 Can this be done with just a squeegee.?!
Hi, depends on the formula, here is a link to a product that works well with a squeegee. ua-cam.com/video/PXW335vZMdc/v-deo.html
good job. how many buckets did you use and how many square feet?
Hi, we used two 5 gal containers. I forget the square feet.
Thanks

Is there any restrictions on how hot the weather is
Hi, on the products I've used the label doesn't talk about temp too high. It usually recommends don't apply below 50 degrees.

So I cannot apply this product on my driveway in Ireland? Rains all the time.
Hi, what products do they use in your area?
How long will it stay nice and black
2 years….then it starts to fade away
seems easy enough. how much would someone expect to pay for something like this in a mid sized Midwest city?
400
If doing yourself under 100
I'm going to try to do this myself for my mother instead of paying somebody else does not look hard why do they use so much heat when they professionals do it
Good luck. Here is another video with a different product. ua-cam.com/video/PXW335vZMdc/v-deo.html
"a very thin coat for the best results"? Why? Why not add a second coat?
Hi, each formulation is different. For this product, it won't dry properly if it is applied too thick. Some products recommend a second coat, and some don't. Follow the label instructions for the best results. Products can vary in their application and the type of brush or squeegee recommended.
