When I got asphaltedone in my driveway the asphalt company boss told me to spray my asphalt with water for a week to harden it. Lucky for me it rained almost everyday so I did not need to use the hose... I had this done about 8 years ago and it still looks brand new ! Of course I have to seal it every 2 years but still no cracks or nothing.
@@simd510 what ever is on special at Canadian Tires (Harbor Freight for the US) Nothing fancy at least as it gets the job done... And we use a roller on a stick to apply it... We mix it for almost 5 minutes before applying... We seal it every 2 years
One bucket doesn't get you very far and it's expensive and you would need a lot of buckets, it might work but in my opinion you would be better to hire professionals to do the job.
It's really expensive, I'm not sure I would try It was at least $50 for a bucket. Plus you would want to frame out the expansion with vertical wood so that you could really tamp it down. Even then I'd be worried the outside edge would crumble once you removed the frame.
That happens when you don’t sealed your driveway. I resurfaced my driveway about 3 inches on top of my old one back in 2020 and I had sealed 3 times. No problem with oil or gasoline
Litter is basically clay, and it’ll absorb when a liquid is placed on top it or mixed in. It’s a waste to use litter when the liquid isn’t on a surface or already absorbed by another medium like asphalt. Litter won’t draw a liquid from another medium.
3 years later and it has still held up great!
Thanks for taking the time to post this!
Your buddy ruined it with gasoline and then your wife drove over the repair? Somebody buy this man a few rounds. 🍻

Do you live in an area that gets snow and freezing temps?
@@simd510 yes... I live in Northern Quebec Canada along the St-Lawrence river... It gets really nasty here

That came out real nice 👍
thank you, great video, your buddy parks on a street from now on right?
Haha yep!
It's been 10 months, how has this held up? Good video thanks.
No issues! We sealed over the whole driveway
@@BigBossBilly still ok ?
How has the Color’s meshed? Does it look more uniform now that it’s been some time or can you still tell that there was a patch done there?
Great video!
Nice! Thanks for sharing! What sealer did you use?
Good job. What blade did you use with the grinder?
Would have liked to see more of the cutting/removal process lol 2nd part of the video no questions lol
A couple questions, why did you use a bucket of water and then a hose for the rest? Then when you mention 2.0 did you mean 6.0 like the product says?
because there was only a finite amount of water in that bucket and realized he should probably put more water
GREAT VIDEO!!!
What do you do with the pieces of asphalt that you removed? If you dispose of them, how?
Can't you put it in garbage bag to land fill?
If I set a solid base could I widen my driveway with this ?

does it ever blend?
No. But sealer can be applied to entire driveway which should help a lot

The question is....are you still friends???😂
For some reason I forgave him!
Lol
FYI. Future reference. Contrary to popular opinion, cat litter doesn’t absorb anything
