If the crack is 1/4 inch or less in width/depth, only one application is necessary.

STEP 7

If the crack is deeper than ¼ inch, squeeze a first application of asphalt driveway crack filler.

Then, add fine sand to a 1/4 inch from the surface - then add another layer of crack filler to top it off.

STEP 8

Add another layer of crack filler to top it off.

STEP 9

Use a generous helping of the crack filler, overfilling each crack to allow the filler to sink in.

STEP 10

Let the crack filler sit for at least a day before you walk or drive on the repaired areas.
