Yes! Well done! Gives us beginners the info and good products to buy! Just need to know what is the best crack sealer and what about an indentation, not a pothole.
Some excellent points here. I used the bulk version and pick it up using 55 gallon drums - this version comes concentrated so you mix water with it to obtain the correct consistency to brush it onto the asphalt.
Just resealed my Asphalt Driveway with the Henry 4 Year Product, but followed all recommendations from this Video. A few points I would highlight for best results: Definitely fill cracks/pot holes as instructed in video, and be sure to clean as instructed. I would highly recommend flipping the buckets as he mentioned, but *also* would Highly Recommend using a corded Power Drill with a Stirring Bit. Even with a Drill, the "top sludge" does not move for a minute under stirring. After about a minute, you see the solid and liquid finally mix. I mixed shy of 5 minutes after seeing a good vortex for 30+ seconds and the color looking uniform. We did follow his method of combining buckets and that helped with keeping the color consistent. I would also recommend "pulling" in the same direction for the duration of the project. If you move the material in multiple directions, it will show (it's minimally noticeable). Thanks for the advice!
Thank you for the video. I'm going to be a first time home owner soon, and this will be very helpful for the blacktop driveway which is in need of some crack filling and new sealer.
Find your local seal company ask if you can buy the real thing ,with their hot or cold applied patch filler ,and mask off you cement ,always squeegee makes the material go farther and it's ye recommended apparatus,
I used to do this for a summer job! I got really fast at it. With a buddy, we would do 12 driveways a day. Pro tip: carry a spray bottle on a holster and you can spray away any unwanted splashes on the house.
The brushing on the driveway was asmr feeling man it was heaven to the ears to know its easy to install and ny driveway will look better than the neighbors
Can't remember last time I seen those converse shoes but it had to be pre-1995. I appreciate the instruction however decided to go stained concrete and over the top of that with 10+ coats of non-yellowing sealer. It just seems to show more depth and last longer in the Minnesota winters. Next I may underlay with wood-grain panels and apply sealer coats for a more unique affect. Great inspirational video.
@@annenelso Most only know 1 way to skin a cat and have never tried it. Your asphalt is pre-settled, therefore, grind the surface, prep, forms, rebar, pour. Don't let someone tell you, you need to pay to rip out your pre-settled base ever again..
look at that old milwaukee drill i still have mine since about 1986 or so looks like ill be on this stuff for a while looking at 25 buckets to lay out ,maybe i should set up the airless graco mark 5 and have at it
Thanks this was awesome I thought I was going to have to pay someone to do my driveway we just bought a house and I wanted my driveway to look fresh and brand new now that I see how simple it is im all for doing it myself and thanks for the tip on using Henry's too going to save me money in the long run only having to use one coat instead of 2...yeah
Let me know how your project goes. We have more home improvement tips on our weekly podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fix-it-home-improvement/id880903087?mt=2
I had a landscape business and did hundreds of driveways all by hand. I found these cheap combo brushes with a squeegee useless and the finished product looks amateur. I went to an industrial supply store and bought a nice squeegee for doing windows and only used that to apply the rubberized sealer. Do it just like you did with the brush, but only use the squeegee to it rides flat and leaves additional sealer in the little dips and holes and thinner where the asphalt is smooth. The nice soft rubber squeegee left an excellent finish with no brush marks or overlaps.
I should add when it's hot, it always worked best to lightly wet down the driveway ahead of sealing with water based sealer. Oil based sealer is not recommended at all. Do not wet down the driveway ahead of time and expect it to be slippery when it rains and snows. Oil based sealer is shiny and once applied, you can only use oil based, you can't ever use water based afterward because it will not adhere. Also, when your driveway is steep or you want extra traction for the winter, you can add clean sand to the mix. It works really well and can add tremendous safety especially when walking on the driveway to get the mail etc. Also, many times the blacktoppers told the homeowners to wait a year before applying sealer, but you can apply sealer to new blacktop as soon as water stops beading up on it. It's best to seal it before the first winter if you can. Regardless of what the can states, two coats are always best for a nice smooth finish and to allow the sealer to fill smaller cracks to keep water out. Water will get into the cracks, then freeze and make a mess out of your asphalt.
Water based is the way to go. Especially if you have pets, children, allergies, or care about your neighbors.. Many jurisdictions only allow water based. Most interior and exterior paints are now latex/water based.
+The Wizard It's a pretty easy job to do yourself. We have more tips in our home improvement book www.amazon.com/dp/B01BK2K0JM?ref_=pe_2427780_160035660
Get buckets with same batch code for color match. Use squeegee to spread them 1.25" nap roller to even out and pull excess down as you go....if you have a rough textured asphalt. If not be prepared to use at least double the product. Keep driveway misted wet as you got...helps spread and prevents dry edge. Mix for 5 mins...if using a stick or that small mixer bit maybe. Get a proper grout mixer and mix about 30 seconds.
The two coat recommendations is to fill in the pours and crevices. It's not meaning to actually go over it twice. What I do is push ahead a pile back and forth. Then I pull what I call the finish pass.
I will have this stuff smeared as high as I can reach on my house in the trees on the living room rug and on the dog and this guy still has white tennis shoes

I mix 1/2 gallon of blackjack roof & foundation sealer to 5 gallons of blackjack 300 driveway sealer. It gets a better bond this way & self-heals when the driveway gets hot in the summer. The rubberized kind doesn't heal itself. Only drawback, driveway takes twice as long to cure before parking on it. Have to mix a day in advance for the 2 sealants to break down. May need a pint of denatured alcohol to help with mixing. Otherwise, doesn't blend well.
Just a tip . Try to avoid that water base sealer. Go for the oil base. The finished result looks way better , and any standing water that would normally puddle in your driveway, would shed of more easily. Other than that good looking job

Someone pls help! Just got my driveway done by a company;they first fixed the cracks then seal coated the driveway… The question is!!! After seal coating should the spots where cracks were filled (some people call them snakes) be visible?? Thx
Will look good with just about any product cuz basically ur doing a painting like project. …A better question is how does it look after 3 years. I find myself redoing this every 2-3 years. Which I find is getting expensive and time consuming
We have a very steep driveway that we are repaving. We would like to have some extra grip. Would it be appropriate to add sand when mixing to add grip?
I just did my driveway with the same product. I found that once it gets cool at night the surface gets hard. During the heat of the day it got gummy again. This was 3 days ago without driving on it. The problem is that once you drive on it, any particles or dust from tires will embed into the sealcoat.
ryanh0190 Hi, sometimes if the coat you put on is too thick it takes longer to cure. We've had good results over the years with this. We have more tips on our weekly podcast itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fix-it-home-improvement/id880903087?mt=2

What's the best way to get out grease stains first, and in a manner that would not require having to wait too long before being able to apply sealer, etc. Thanks.
Hi, you can try Oil Dry, it is a clay based dry product you grind into the asphalt to absorb oil. Most other products are going to be a liquid you would brush in and then hose off. There are a few you can pick up at the hardware store. The driveway doesn't have to be dry for most coatings, so just clean the area, hose it down and use a broom to get off excess water.

Shred Sixsixsix Ha, I don't remember. They are waterproof now. Check out our weekly podcast www.stitcher.com/s?fid=49441&refid=stpr
FIX IT Home Improvement Channel It works better if you put 2 cheap plastic bags over your shoes. Wearing a $20.00 disposable painting suit and rubber will keep you and your clothes cleaner.
Great tips. Thanks.
No, they are black Reeboks now!
good video. what would use to clean out the buckets afterwards so I can use them for something else?
Hi, it depends on the chemical makeup. Many can be cleaned with soap and water while wet. You will need solvents for some. It will suggest how to clean up on the label. The citrus based cleaners do a nice job.

A 10 foot section took 23 feet of rope and took me 2 hours to fill, I used the bottled stuff on the rest of the cracks and now I need to.make diner, so my next day off will be.an.hour of.sweeping.and then sealing.
+stizan24 Wow. I've never used that type of crack filler. You'll have to let me know how it holds up.

Will it bind a rough asphalt surface where gravel is in danger of being kicked loose?
Hi, you are looking for a resurfacing product to repair damaged or worn asphalt.
I would add: plan on wearing clothes and shoes you might have to throw out when done.
I always wear my WHITE SNEAKERS LOL.

Someone pls help! Just got my driveway done by a company;they first fixed the cracks then seal coated the driveway… The question is!!! After seal coating should the spots where cracks were filled (some people call them snakes) be visible?? Thx
Awesome. Thanks for the video.

It would have been a better video if you had shown the finished product at the end... two days later to see how it looks after it has cured.
Will look good with just about any product cuz basically ur doing a painting like project. …A better question is how does it look after 3 years. I find myself redoing this every 2-3 years. Which I find is getting expensive and time consuming
We have a very steep driveway that we are repaving. We would like to have some extra grip. Would it be appropriate to add sand when mixing to add grip?
I just did my driveway with the same product. I found that once it gets cool at night the surface gets hard. During the heat of the day it got gummy again. This was 3 days ago without driving on it. The problem is that once you drive on it, any particles or dust from tires will embed into the sealcoat.
ryanh0190 Hi, sometimes if the coat you put on is too thick it takes longer to cure. We've had good results over the years with this.

What I'm seeing is you want to take time fill in tiny dips and round ares flat. Like most all costs of anything preparing area is only way for good looking results.
What's the best way to get out grease stains first, and in a manner that would not require having to wait too long before being able to apply sealer, etc. Thanks.
Hi, you can try Oil Dry, it is a clay based dry product you grind into the asphalt to absorb oil. Most other products are going to be a liquid you would brush in and then hose off. There are a few you can pick up at the hardware store. The driveway doesn't have to be dry for most coatings, so just clean the area, hose it down and use a broom to get off excess water.

We have a relatively long driveway. Would it be possible to break it up into more than one day to make the job easier?
Hi, you can, there may be a slight color difference where you left off.
