Best Asphalt Driveway Crack Repair! 

Looks fun! Thanks for doing this ❤

Thanks AP, good to know how I can fix my crack 😜

The plistix are hard to work with and liquify and drain down a sloped driveway. Thin cracks are hard, but 1/2" or more - I used cold-pack asphalt. It can be better to widen crack to use asphalt (especially if bottom of crack if wider than the top). The plistix I used a couple years ago shrink and crack over time. Clean out the crack as deep as possible. I put a layer of sand at bottom and then top 2-3 inches I filled with cold-pack asphalt. A fresh bag is very oily and will pour into cracks. I press it in with a mortar tool. BUT to finish, I pound the cold pack into the crack with a 4 pound hammer. This pulverizes it and forces it in -- add more cold pack until level with road. Too late to seal in a month (it will be too cold out) but this will last a decent period of time and simplifies later repairs. The "aquaphalt" mentioned below appears to be essentially this. Pound it in cleaned out cracks, then seal it a month or two later. This seems to be the best solution. This week I will try to stuff plistix in smaller cracks (it is hard to thin out) and then use asphalt tape that is heated (not adhesive which I guess it not nearly as good). Bought a weed burner to attach to me grill propane tank to heat up asphalt/plistix and tape.

Great video, thanks!

Ohio calling - I have the same kind of cracks in a long asphalt drive - thanks for the product recommendation and procedure!

thanks for the before and after on the effectiveness short term. hopefully is sticks long term

Always clean the crack! 🤣🤣

This video really cracked me up.

Crack’s been filled in!😂

They do have other sizes, not just medium. I'm looking at 60ft small pli-stix on amazon right now.

What did you do about the burning marks on the asphalt?

Hi. There is a product called Aquaphalt that you can buy at hardware stores and some home centers. It a high quality ashalt mix in a large tub (probably 5 gallon tub) and it works excellent! For cracks the size of what you had if you used one tub of Aquaphalt that is likely all you would need and it would be actually aphalt you are using. As soon as you apply water to the product and tamp it down it is definitely a permanent fix. No rubber compound will last more than 1-2 years.

lol, the innuendos got you a like right away. Not sure of the content yet...

I'm addicted to crack now. Thanks!

1. There is a larger size. I bought both. 2. if your handheld torch goes hour while being held upside down or at an angle you’ve got a cheap torch. Buy a decent burzomatic torch and you won’t have that problem. 3. A Large rosebud torch attached to a 20# tank is a lot faster. 4. you can also fill smaller cracks with this stuff by holding it over the crack and dripping the rubber into it.

Thanks for the info. You CRACK me up!🤣😀🤣😀👍

Stretch the material so it's easier to melt by the time it's hot enough for the other side to melt the top is burning and bubbling.

They do sell bags of asphalt specifically for this purpose... just fyi

Try doing this with thin cracks. I have. Its a freaking mess. The sticks are too wide to fit in the crack so when you heat them, most of it rolls down the driveway. Maybe there are thin plistix?

to save on your crack filler after cleaning add some clean pea stone and then hold the filler over the crack heat it so it melts and drips into the crack and the pea stone

there are more efficient solutions available. pli may be suitable for minimal use. said from a partner in a large gc company that does this non stop in the nyc area

How did this last over the winter?

Who knew saying no to crack could be so fun! 🤣

Professionals can buy this stuff in a 5gal brick and use a push cart that holds and smooths it.

Bet he had a few quotes to fill his crack..

A clean crack is essential….

Watching because of the great thumbnail clickbait.. 😂😂

REVIWED? :D

Clean it before you lay it down, come on man...., lol

Doesn't last, waste of money. Cracks back as soon as the snow hit the ground

Can this fix ugly butt cracks?
