REPAIR
Follow application instructions on product container. Plan on prep and repair on one day
and sealing on the next day.
Trim all grass and vegetation away from the edges of the asphalt surface. Leave nothing
overhanging or in contact with the asphalt surface.
Cut out broken or severely cracked areas or deteriorated asphalt using a hammer and cold
chisel. If it is deteriorated along driveway edge, install a piece of wood along the edge of the
driveway to act as a frame.
Sweep and clean off the entire driveway. Remove dirt and pickup loose stones and asphalt
from any ruts, potholes or low spots.
Clean stains using a full strength penetrating cleaner. Apply liberally vigorously scrub with a
stiff wire brush. Rinse away the dirty residue area with water. Repeat this process until clean.
Rinse. If stain is soft, cut out with chisel and follow repair instructions. For gas and oil spots
see below.
Prime any gas and oil spots with an oil spot primer to avoid bleed through.
Fill any cracks up to ½” wide using a crack filler. Allow to cure prior to sealing over.
Trowel Fill large cracks (over ½” wide), areas of allegation, ruts and minor depressions using a
smooth patch. Trowel in layers of 1/4" to 1/2" ...no greater as it sets up from the top down
(maximum is two layers / ‘lifts’). Allow each layer to harden overnight before applying next
layer. Level and feather out the edges for a smooth, neat, uniform appearance. Allow 24 hours
to cure prior to sealing over.
