Not so good
Product applied easily and is fluid enough to get down to the cracks. I applied it during the summer and 85° plus weather. Despite that I noticed as the weather turned cool that instead of expanding it cracked. I would not recommend it

    I power washed cracks days ahead of application. Used a brush to make sure of a good bond. Although it pours easily it doesn’t seem to settle but cracks in places, upon drying. Dries to more charcoal color.

        I shook it well and used a 5 inch brush to apply into the cracks. So far I am very pleased. If they make this stuff in 4.75 gallon pails i would consider doing my whole driveway with it. I did have to take a gallon back because it appeared to be very watery and I could not use it.

          This product is difficult to mix so that it can be squeezed from bottle. I finally cut the top off with a knife and scooped out with a putty knife.

          Instructions said to shake the container. I shook the first one and it came out all liquid and then all solid. With the second container, I shook vigorously, left it upside down overnight, shook vigorously, and it came out all liquid and then all solid. The tubes work good in the caulk gun.

            The product needs to be mixed and the container prevents any method other than shaking it until Sunday. There are other products that are in paint can containers and easily mixed with a cheap drill mixer mixer. I wound up standing on the container to get the rest of the filler out.

            the first one I bought worked pretty well, the 2nd one i bought was just sludge and I couldn't get it really to pour out and returned it...I'll try another one at some time as it does appear to work pretty good for small cracks.

            Have to set the record straight
            I recently left a review of a one for this product after using 1 bottle. I had a bad experience with that one. I had bought 2 bottles. With the second bottle I turned it upside down and left it that way two days. That made it easier to shake and mix. Had a much better experience that time which caused me to buy 2 more bottles. Just owed it to company to set record straight. I normally don’t leave reviews and this is why I don’t.

              As several have said no matter how much you shake, would not mix.

                Three out the four bottles I bought did not mix well at all. It instructs you to shake well before using but that did not work. Half of the bottle was almost solid. The last bottle I used had to be stirred like paint.

                No matter how much I shook it before use I could never get it to blend properly. Initial pourings were mostly thin liquid then a thick mixture I could hardly get out of the bottle. Trying to cut off the tip and pouring was futile. Finally removed the top and just poured mixture over cracks and spread by hand or with a squeegee.

                Sorry for your frustration, and I will take your comments back to management to figure a better way. These jugs can be difficult to mix and shake. Squeezing the product out and then spreading into the crack is a great thought and I hope hope your project turned out well. Thanks for the productive feedback. GardnerGibson
