How To Repair Asphalt Driveway with Latex-ITE Filler Sealer

No matter what you use, these cracks will come back the following seasons.

Especially north east which experiences hot summers, cold winters.

Lots of movement from freeze and thaw process.

I do appreciate the video though thank you

What I don't understand why guys make videos and boost a product but never mention where to get it. The common sense of the average person is going down 😅😅😅 I truly believe that. All that trouble of creating a video and never mentions where person can get it especially when he says he tried so many other ones. Totally unreal

This junk flaked off after following directions

This type of Sealcoat is garbage . You get what you pay for . It’s little more then black water .

Good video of how not to do this😂

Two mistakes that are going to shorten the life of the job. You didn't pull the vegetation (weeds) and you sealed over dirt. Wire brush and soap and water.

i've had mine done " Professionally twice by 2 different companies and they don't even come close to the quality I can do myself . Fill those larger pitted areas with a crack filler before using the sealer . ALL these sealers come from 2 national companies that are owned by one larger company so don't get draw-in with the " Fancy " advertising .... there are only two types , Economy and PREMIUM >>> you choose !!!

I have done this and it's a complete waste of money and time.

Peter, you've probably paid a high premium for the trowel grade Latex--ITE filler sealer, compared to the same size container of the latex final sealing product. Just buy one extra pail of the sealer product and create your own low cost trowel grade filler. For every two parts of latex/acrylic sealer, add two parts of clean washed sand (Playsand sold for children's sandboxes at the Home Depot) and add one part portland cement. Because the latex/acrylic sealer is water based, it will activate the portland cement in the mixture.
You can thicken the mixture for wide cracks and depressions, or you can thin the mixture to a "pour grade" to pour into very thin cracks. The product dries very quickly, with minimal shrinkage and creates a rock hard bond to the base asphalt driveway.
Driveway repair products have risen dramatically in recent years, along with other petroleum products and the "accessory products", such as special fillers can add drastically to the project cost. Save some money and have greater flexibility with the product.

I had my driveway seal coated with the exact same stuff now the people hired maliciously dumped water on part of it then I went out and bought the next step better than this one the ten-year driveway sealant !

which is the best lasting brand? please anyone ?

LOVE that u gave before & after pics. Most don't. Thanks for the to-the-point informative video.

You can't mix latex and oil sealer. Stick to what you have.

hrm I don't see a difference. the cracks are still there

Interesting intro, your driveway is in poor shape, how long since the last time you sealed and what did you really apply?

I have an old cement patio that needs resurfaced. Also, aggregate staircase. About 50 years old. Product to use?

Pour it out of the bucket, use a squeegee and an old push broom with stiff bristles,wear some old shoes and pants you can afford to throw away . You’re welcome

Use trowel patch instead and then seal over it

The only real way to repair HMAC driveways is to hire a crew with the right equipment.
You have two options because crack seal is fugly:

Remove and Replace
Or
Hire a contractor with a heated repaving rig, meaning they heat the asphalt up to about 300 degrees and repave it. Definitely more cost effective.
HMAC means Hot Mixed Asphaltic Concrete

Why not make a towel on a handle and swezzing onto the drive and fill in the driveway

Any reason to not coat the entire driveway with a filler? I just bought a house with a pretty rough-condition driveway. (Old with lots of alligatoring and thinned out asphalt). Spending $300 on these is way cheaper than buying a new driveway and if it lasts for a few years, it might be worth it. Any thoughts?

It took me 2.5 gallon of latexite optimum for a 900 sq ft driveway. I used another 1.5 gallons as a second coat about 2 hrs later. Turned out great - took me 4 full hrs. You need to mix a lot.

Sir, this is a finishing driveway sealer. For heavier cracks use a filler instead.

So, how did it hold up 1 1/2 yrs later? Did the cracks open back up?

Home Depot $20!

Don't you have 2 grind out cracks

Hey Peter. I was wondering if you have used other Latexite driveway sealers too, such as the more pricey ones? If so, do you find the Airport Grade is the best?

love this product it works great!!! it does it all small to large ones, Buy this product!!!!

Where do you find this product?

I got a rash on my butt from wetness for days without knowledge. Is there a sealant that will work wonders like this product does on a canvas. Please get back to me k

Can this stuff be used to fill in small potholes in a parking lot in between getting the parking lot resealed?

Do I need to use a crack filler or trowel patch first before applying it?

HOLY SHIT! I go looking for a video on asphalt repair and find an old friend! Nice video, Pete! I'm glad you're out there doing awesome.

Wait brother, isn’t this the same product used as a final sealer? Because if that’s the case I won’t have to buy a patch to fi this gator cracks

I like how it looks... thanks

Naaahghghghgh.....
What do you mean "Airport Quality???"
Airports don't use asphalt on the runways, they use concrete. Just l👀k at the asphalt in your driveway, can you imagine how bad a runway would be with Jumbo Jets landing on it...🤣🤔🤣

Wow Peter, good instruction and clear before/after. I'm going to try it!

Did I understand correctly that I'd have to seal the whole driveway with something else afterward?

Great job, super informative and well done

Pete! I just found this video looking to fix up my driveway, 🤗

can this product be added to cement driveways?

Thank you Mr. Von Panda! 🐼 We have a lot of “gatoring” . Now I feel more confident doing it!

Can this go on top of cement patched area?

I've watched a few of your videos gathering information on different products and situations. I appreciate the info I'm about to attempt a patch and resurface DIY driveway job myself and these videos very helpful. Thanks again!

So what happens if it actually does rain within 24 hours of putting this stuff on? Does it just take longer to cure, or is it somehow ruined forever?

I got the Latexite 10 yr and the Gardner 10. Both were soupy and watery as all hell from Home Depot

Nothing like what you have. How can I get this? I've been screwed twice now.

Why do you have to leave the buckets upside down?
