SIKA Sikaflex-410 Asphalt Sealant, Black, Self-Leveling Hybrid Sealant for Filling Cracks in Asphalt Driveways, Roadways, and Pavements - 9 fl. oz. Cartridge, Fills Cracks up to 1.5 in. Wide

I haven't seen this go through a Winter yet but here's my history of using driveway crack fillers. I've used the melted in stuff. I've pounded in the cold asphalt. I've used the latex cold pour garbage. I've used trowel patch. They all claim to have elasticity galore. Within about two months, before Winter even begins, they all fail. Some of the melt in stuff remained in place but after that hardens over time, it too fails. You also have to be sure to melt it thoroughly. THE ONLY ONE TO LAST THIS LONG WITHOUT ANY FAILURES IS THIS STUFF BY SIKA!!!!!!! I've filled big cracks and small. Once cured, if you push on it, it acts just like rubber!! It adheres like rubber! It's been though the hot full sun and the colder early mid Autumn nights and so far, no failures!! If it lasts the Winter, I'd say it's about as good as the hot rubber melt in. For larger cracks I do use the foam filler because there isn't much in a tube so big cracks will use alot. But the stuff is amazing. Sika is serious about it's products. Will update next year if I find problems but so far, it's proving to be the best crack filler I've ever used. I'm not paid for this review. I'm just shocked at how well it's doing after years of effort, false claims and wasted time. Be sure though to clean out the crack thoroughly. I use a wire brush to abrade the surrounding surface and try to brush out as much dust and debris as I can but the abrading I think makes the difference for bonding. Just saw complaints about how shiny it is. Wait several days for curing, then take a lightly abrasive sponge and lightly scuff the surface. It will dull it down. In time, it dulls anyway.UPDATE AFTER FIRST WINTER:When a crack was properly cleaned out, it lasted. Because I had debris of other failed driveway patch such as areas of trowel patch or even cement epoxy around the edges of cracks, some areas did fail but that's due to my fault. We were rushing to get it done due to other Summer work we had to do but many of them didn't fail. I just ordered another 6 pack. To be fair though, I advise that if your driveway was a patchwork quilt like mine, get onto youtube and look up how to do diy hot asphalt crack filling. There are people on there who heat up the box of hot rubber crack filler you can buy at home depot ($43 for 30 lb?), make a spouted can out of a coffee tin and attach it to a metal post to pour hot rubber into cracks and they end up with a very nice job. I have other jobs this year so am using more of this but if you have a ton of cracks, try the videos on youtube. Fix it with Cronk is one of the guys. I'm not paid for giving that info.Update #2After further investigation of cracks, here is my recommendation in order.1. For alligator cracks or ones that aren't too wide or deep, thoroughly heat the melt in stuff after cleaning out with wire brush and blowing out the crack (I use the heat gun). Then melt it in so it's literally dripping. Where the adhesion is needed is on the sides. Drip it onto the sides and fill to JUST BELOW the driveway surface. That's on the directions, which I never bothered to read. I have pulled out unmelted stuff which is why the crack failed. Six years later, a badly alligatored patch that I used the melt in to fill is solid as a rock. My husband used a propane torch on that. READ directions.2. Hot rubber for large cracks - I haven't tried it yet but is likely the best filler for the larger deeper ones.3. Sika - adheres well, very flexible, like rubber. It's longevity is largely dependent on how well the surface is cleaned. I've been smearing it over the top of the crack for a smoother look. I think it's supposed to fill inside the crack, not be smeared smooth. When product is left on surface, it may be prone to failure.Sika buys you some time while you use the other two options but isn't going to be as strong as them.4. Trowel patch.. would only use in an area that doesn't see alot of sitting water or hot afternoon sun. Will last about 2-3 years and then break off in bits, look bad and be a pain when you want to use something else and have to spend time chipping it away from the crack. But it does smooth things out nicely, for a little while.

The Sikaflex Asphalt sealant worked very well . Its the self leveling that makes it so good to use . It flows down into the Asphalt cracks filling it in completely . The sika brand line of products are at the top of my list when it comes to needing a certain product for the job .

Easy to apply and filled my driveway cracks well. Skinned-over in about 30 min, consistent with what the label said. Holding up well for the first summer.

I live in Pennsylvania -- hot summers, cold winters with snow and ice. Tried all three brands. Sikaflex was the only one that did not develop cracks (within the material itself). Stayed in tact in the cracks. The only downside is that it takes a very long time to cure -- multiple days. Maybe the additional durability and the cure time are related.

This works better than the hot crack filler the asphalt guys use. The consistency is such that it is not too runny but fills every void and, once cured, sticks like crazy. Compared to the hot crack filler that was applied 2 years ago, I expect this to last at least 8 years. I wish it came in the large tubes but the mfg says they only make the standard size. It is not cheap, we just used 7 cases to seal cracks in our 13,000 sq ft lot. We did have a few cracks more than 1" wide though.Dries firm but not hard, takes about a week but drivable in 1-2 days

It lasted a bad winter this last season. Also a lot of cars turning over top of it. Impressive. So one year down and no complaints.One thing I have seen is the cracks where I applied liberally are holding their integrity better. It takes more but in my opinion and after using about 20 tubes now maybe a few more lost count but the more liberal the better results down the road. So don’t just try to squeeze enough to go inside the crack but enough to where it spreads out a pretty good amount over it. Can’t give exact amount but I cut the Tip pretty far down where more comes out in say a 1/4 inch thickness or something like that coming out. Poke the hole really good. If it’s hard to press you haven’t poked the hole good enough and it’s harder to run a consistent bead. I’ll update again on my second year.

SIKA is the best DYI asphalt crack filler. I’ve used the Lowes and Home Depot brands with mixed results. SIKA provided a stronger filler, with better adherence than either of the big box brands. It was longer lasting and closer to a professional, hot applied solution. Its costs a few dollars more but well worth it. The tubes dont hold much of the product, so buy more than you thinkmyou need.

This is the best product I have ever used for repairing cracks in asphalt. I have tried pourable products and other types of crack filler that are applied with a caulking gun but by far this has been the best. Other products I worked in with a putty knife and brushed the surface with a brush to blend in, but this product did not require that. After applying the product it started to flow deep in the cracks after a few minutes which is what I wanted and I was able to reapply and fill the crack completely. Other products filled the crack but did not go deep down to the bottom of the crack but this did. It hardened up in a few days but was still flexible. Repairs at the apron of the driveway are lasting where other products failed. I love this stuff and am never buying anything else.
