Pli-Stix 30 ft. Medium Gray Permanent Concrete Joint and Crack Filler

It worked very well when you heat it properly. The first time I tried using the wide angle flame on my blowtorch (attached to a 20lb propane bottle) but it would burn the filler if i got too close. I then got a weed burner torch and it worked perfectly. I did use some sand first to fill the crack since I pulled some tree roots out that were growing in-between and then applied the filler on top.

Gray is slightly off from the color of my concrete but it fills and seals the cracks like it should.

Put this stuff in after filling the cracks with sand. Appeared to work ok thru the fall, but come March, inspection shows the product shrunk and the cracks reappeared.. May try polymeric sand next, covered by sealcoating.

Product was just as advertised, easy to install and finished product looks great, although the color "medium gray" is mis-leading I would still recommend the product to other DIYers

Double your budget on this. The backer rod melted before this stuff. 55 ft x 3/4 equals about 6-8 rolls.Double your budget on this. The backer rod melted before this stuff 55 ft x 3/4 is about 6-8 rolls after it melts down.

Be sure to use open cell backer rod that can withstand heat so the filler stays level. I installed 22 feet of the stuff in 2 hours including preparation. After scraping out the crack, putting in the backer rod and cutting the Pli-Stix to fit, don't just heat it with the torch like it says. You really need to take the time to unwind the clear plastic that's wrapped around it. Instructions say you don't need to do that. On the first seam I did as the instructions said. When I heated it, the clear wrap shrinks and blobs of the stuff start oozing out every 1/4 inch. They eventually merge and smooth out. On the next seam I unwrapped the clear plastic wrap before heating. It melted much faster and filled in smoother. After it's done you can notice the 2nd seam looks like a better job than the first. I like the final results. It looks professional.

does not flow like black product!!!

I used this to fill the expansion joints on my 3 year old driveway. The original fiberboard deteriorated. The product works well IF you use enough heat. The first time I used a traditional butane torch head, not a good choice for heat and angle. I purchased a hose type torch and it worked like a charm. I had to fill some spots before I inserted the Pli-Stix, I used foam baker rod, although in sone spots that melted and the Pli-Stix sealed down. No problem though I just put another strip in and melted it. Make sure you order more than you need since you are bound to have "sink-spots". It is winter now and the seams are still holing out the moisture and have not separated. In the past have used self leveling caulk type material for the smaller seams but probably would not again knowing now about this product and how to use it.

This is the first time using this product. The gap that I was trying to fill was 1 inch in width in most of the places I needed to repair. I had to apply the PLI-Stix several times in order to fill the cracks. First I layed the PLI-stix in the bottom of the crack and melted the material. I added more to it to bring it the the top surface of the concrete. The material was very easy to melt using a hand held propane torch. I just need to see how this material will react with the freezing cycle in this location. One plus, I will be able to melt the material again next year if needed.

It took a lot of time to melt but worked. The problem I have is that Home Depot is selling foam filler underlay at a ridiculous price of $55 for a 30 feet roll and when I tried to return one roll it was past the return window. The same stuff is literally 5 bucks everywhere else. Buyer beware!
