Customer Reviews for Latex-ite Pli-Stix 30 ft. Medium Gray Permanent Concrete Joint and Crack Filler

a timely replacrment filler lays as specified abd great base for the sealant

Meh. Self leveling silicone works much better and is more user friendly.

So far so good...no weeds in the expansion joints....lets see how it holds up over the winter.....MED

Very hard to use when trying to put in concrete cracks. Had to think about using something else.

While this material does fill in small gaps - up to 0.5” wide x 0.75 deep” , it takes quite a bit more of it, doubled and tripled, to fill in 2” gaps, as described. My driveway expansion joint filler deteriorated. I dug out all of it, leaving a 1” x 1” trench. I need to apply a triple layer of Pli-Stix. Melting it with a regular Bernzo-matic bottle is tricky - you need the expensive long attachment.

The concrete joint filler doesn't work as well as the asphault joint sealer. Time will tell how it lasts. It works better than the other products I have tried. I melt it in the cracks.

Excellent product matter fact exceeded my expectations. Keep up the good work.

It wouldn't flow and would catch fire, leaving unattractive burn spots.

Difficult to use on cracks under 1/4". Best for wider cracks. Does not flow well. Kept one package that i used about 24". Will probably find some use for it in the future. Returned the other unused package for a refund.

A little difficult to control using a hand held propane torch but there's a learning curve befor you get the hang of it. Once mastered, it looks good. I would say it's not too good for wide cracks/spaces as you need to use a lot of the material. Filling a deep crack with sand helps. A lot. On balance, it came out good with 2 passes (layers)

Unless you have a straight line crack that is uniform in size the product is not very adaptable. I like the premise but not practical for cracks that are not straight and the same width.

Used product to fill large crack in driveway. Worked well, needed to use several pieces together to fill in the space. Also used heat gun to melt stix, took sometime but worked. If filling deeper crack, I used some sand to fill in void somewhat, as the pli-stik melts down into the hole causing one to use more of the product. Formed nice hard seal, should keep out rain/snow. Looked pretty good too.

I don’t know if I recommend it yet. I want to see how it makes it through a winter

Have a 34 year old driveway-used this product on every joint and it performed as advertised. Happy with the results so far.

Great product for a permanent solution to cracks in driveway seams. The process of melting the caulking is best done with a propane torch for shorter jobs. However a torch attached to a BBQ propane tank works better for bigger jobs. To have even height seams, cracks should first be cleaned and filled with Backer Rod polystyrene before laying down the caulking and melting it slowly.

The product is 1/2 inch so gaps wide as 1/2 inch or larger takes more than 1 strip to fill and attach. The heat applied melts the pli-stix as advertised. My only complaint is that because it requires heat, a filler underneath should be recommended. I used backer rod as suggested and it does not hold up to heat from melting pl-stix as much.

This product worked out great,was better than any other I've searched for. And I don't have to worry it ever coming out.

Worked well. A Lille challenging to get it to heat up enough to flow in the crack without blistering.

Excellent crack filler--probably the best I've come across, and definitely better than the "pour in" kind. However, the instructions are lacking. I didn't realize the cellophane wrapper didn't need to be removed until I'd taken it off already. And that wasn't an easy job.

Great product. Easy to apply.
