"...The small cracks are still solidly sealed, but some of the larger cracks need to be resealed due to expansion/contraction issues...." Read more
"...It's slow going with big deep cracks...." Read more
"Worked well sealing a gap between asphalt (black top) and a concrete sidewalk. About 50ft. Used 2 packages...." Read more

Customers like the durability of the sealant. They mention that it holds up pretty well, it seems to last a long time, and it stays together with no cracking. Some say that the material does not harden to a solid finish but stays a bit rubbery. Overall, most are satisfied with the durability and quality of the product.
"...I think it lasts longer because it stays elastic so the seasonal movements in the crack don't break the seal...." Read more
"...This stuff actually seems like a better quality than the stuff my local and very reputable ash fault contractor used...." Read more

"...This provided an excellent match to the natural concrete...." Read more
"...I wrote this because the fill really looks great right now but I won't know until next spring about how it performs after the winter." Read more

"...Works great; looks good and has held up as temperatures have fallen...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the sealant. Some mention that it's easy to apply, figure out, and handle. However, others say that it is somewhat labor intensive to apply and not a quick fix.

"Easy to use" Read more
"...Giving this a four because of the ease of application and at this point it looks to have done a nice job..will tell after the winter to see if this..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the melting of the sealant. Some mention that it melts pretty easy and will run out to fill cracks and holes, while others say that it's difficult to melt, takes forever, and a day to melt it with a propane torch.

"...blow torch used for copper work does not work well as it is not hot enough, the best torch is one that use MAPP gas with an instant on torch head,..." Read more

"It seems to work very well, but it takes forever and a day to melt it with a mapp torch. I will try it like somebody else suggested...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the flexibility of the sealant. Some mention that it stays flexible, has elastic properties, and can be stretched. However, others say that it is difficult to stretch into small cracks and cold patches are never flexible enough.
"...I think it lasts longer because it stays elastic so the seasonal movements in the crack don't break the seal...." Read more
"...Hopefully it has elastic properties that will allow it to expand and contract with seasonal changes without losing side adhesion...." Read more
"This was difficult to stretch into small cracks like the instructions suggested...." Read more
"...By the time I needed it, it was very pliable and I could stretch it thru areas slytly smaller than the STIX. The torch melted the stuff in a second...." Read more

From what I can see, this seems like the best product on Amazon for DIY people like me but I will also say it's not a quick fix. I probably fixed around 100+ feet of cracks on my long driveway and it took 10-15 hours hunched over doing it.
1. Buy a Bernzamatic (no personal affiliation) MAPP gas kit with hose and click lighting. $55 bucks at Home Depot and worth every penny if you have more than a few feet of cracks to fill. No need for a wider nozzle. You can sit on a stool and easily handle the torch nozzle. Remember you are trying to save $$ by not hiring a contractor, so a little investment goes a long way.
2. Cut the stuff into 12" lengths. Easier to handle. Once it melts it all flows together. Using tin snips - it can be cut lengthwise in half or even in quarters. Use a little silicon spray on the snips to keep product from sticking. Cut sides of product stick a bit to the crack. I would also pound them in with a lump hammer if necessary, but mostly they laid on top of the crack and melted in.
3. Clean crack per directions. Expect to get some product over the edges of the crack. this isn't going to make a perfectly neat filler but with practice, you can get it pretty good.
4. Hold the flame so only the tip of the flame contacts the product. Keep the torch head moving slowly. If you get yellow flame, back off a bit. The product starts to melt and flow and the longer you keep the heat on, the more it flows and fills. It does smoke a bit, try not to breathe it excessively of course.
5. I haven"t done this yet because I just thought it up - but on the next batch of cracks, while product is still molten, I'm going to dust the larger cracks with mill fines (AKA - rock dust back east). I figure this will deal with the summer sun in case sunlight makes the product sticky. I also suspect that you could partially fill larger cracks with pea gravel (not river run, use quarry stone) and get a real solid patch.
Getting three years out of this product makes up for the more time consuming installation. Truthfully the latex products seemed like a waste of time given how quickly they failed. The melt-on product takes more time to install, but it seals so much better that it really seems worth the effort.
I think it lasts longer because it stays elastic so the seasonal movements in the crack don't break the seal. In any case, I just ordered more to re-do the driveway.
First, I cleaned out the dirt from the gap using a flat screwdriver - that was surprisingly easy and went fast. Then I washed all remaining dirt with a garden hose with the handle set to "jet" and let it dry for about day. Then I positioned the material about 15ft at a time and melted it with a slow sweeping motion about 1 foot at a time (I used a regular Bernzomatic plumbing torch with a yellow gas canister - got it from the home depot a while ago). You may want to have a long flat screwdriver handy for minor positioning corrections while heating the product. In places where the gap went deep down (4-6 inches I guess -the thickness of concrete) I filled it with sand (from the home depot - 50lbs bag is under $3) almost to the top and then used a screwdriver to remove the extra sand in order to make room for the product to lie in the gap on top of the sand. Also you can cut the product with scissors into smaller pieces if you need to add some more somewhere where the product went in too deep and the sealing line sagged, Just put that piece atop the the sagged sealant and melt it with sweeping motion.
Along with this I had purchased Bernzomatic Garden Torch which is a self lighting cane shaped torch that goes on any standard bottle (coleman or bernzomatic, I used coleman). That meant standing upright while heating the pli-stix instead of kneeling over it with a standard torch... which was great! We have other uses for the garden torch also.
Anyway your mileage may vary but so far I give it a thumbs up.
