EWT Premium Asphalt Tarmac Parking Lot Joint and Crack Sealer Repair Hot-Filler II 50 FT Long 3mm Thick 1.25 in Waterproof Self-Adhering Rubberized Asphalt Strip

This tape worked great on some seams that are in my driveway because of installation error. I patched them every year but the kept seams coming back. This was wide enough to feather the patch and at this point the seams are gone. The tape has worn to the point that it matches the asphalt well This is the best patch I ever used. Easy to apply also.

I tried a roll of the 1 inch and a roll of the 2 inch. I prefer the 2 inch because it is easier to cover a crooked crack with it. On the other hand the 1 inch melted faster. If I need to reapply it I will use the 2 inch. My cracks open to about a half inch wide in freezing weather and close to a hairline when the asphalt is warmer. When I use latex filler it always forms a crack when it gets cold. This stuff hasn’t so far but I noticed that it gets very soft during warm weather. It gets soft enough to show a footprint but so far hasn’t come off on the shoe. I don’t think I can give it an accurate rating until it has gone through all 4 seasons and I see if it stretches and to see if holds up when I use the snow blower on the driveway next winter.

I tried other tarmac tape and this one is by far much easier to work with for laying out and peeling the paper coating off vs other brands with thin rips too easy plastic while needing to cut rolls apart from sticking to self. This one unrolls super easy, sticks where you want it to go. I rolled it out and peeled the paper as I went and stepped on opposite end to tack it to center of the cracks. This was done in 40F Wisconsin temps also was sunny weather. At first I preheated the cracks but it wasn't necessary. This stuff melts consistently and covers nicely. Also, its basically traffic ready in 5mins and I know this because I was halfway across my 20ft driveway when the mailman came up and drove over what I just got done and didn't mess it up. Prob helps it was 40F and windy out to cool it fast.

I have probably put different types of caulk crack filler into cracks upwards of 5 times. Every time it looks like it will last and then within a week it forms fine a crack, probably due to shrinkage. This tape is great for going over top of a filled-in crack as it forms an elastic surface that can move, without breaking, if the asphalt moves. I use a weed burner that I got from the big orange hardware store years ago, but you can get a similar one here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Flame-King-YSNPQ810CGA-Propane-Lighting/dp/B07L5HBZJL/ You don't want to "cook" the tape and cause bubbles to form, but you want to heat it up evenly and make sure each edge of the tape forms a liquid that mechanically bonds with the asphalt surface. I've used both the 2 inch and the 1 inch tape. If you have a thin crack, I recommend the 1 inch tape as the 2 inch tape is overkill and takes a lot more time and heat to get it to melt properly. If your crack is more than 1/16 of an inch wide, fill it with asphalt caulk and then put the tape over top of that. For those bigger crack, I didn't wait for the caulk to cure and I think it will work out fine. So far this tape is holding up very well for 1.5 months with varying temperatures. I think it will last for a couple of years. I find the key to longevity is resurfacing the asphalt with high quality driveway sealer every couple of years and keeping the cracks filled so water won't penetrate underneath. This tape does the latter to great effect.

very bad product, don't get it even if it was for free. I purchased this in October and I'm written this review in January, I used it to seal small cracks in my driveway, I used torch to melt it in, it was OK looking until winter comes and snow, now is peeling off like eggshells, the driveway way looks like a paint job went wrong, our shoes, concrete on the entrance and the house full of black marks. You will be sorry for sure if you buy this crap.

This stuff is amazing. It really looks great on my parking lot. And it’s easy to use. If you have a weed burner, it really seals the cracks well.!

I tried the 1" roll and thought it worked pretty well so bought the 2" roll to help finish the rest of the driveway. Seems to bond well with the asphalt driveway. Perhaps I'm more a sadist, but I split the 2" lengthwise to 1/2" lengths to help follow the cracks. For cracks that follow a hairline, then expand a bit wider and go a bit deeper, I pinch the tape a bit to provide a bit more product for that particular area and continue following the crack. With a thinner tape, it allows me to follow the crack rather than put down straight lengths of the product that don't actually target over the actual crack. It takes a bit of getting a feel for the amount of heat to apply and for how long to get the product hot enough to melt, but not necessarily to burn or boil. If you apply too much heat for too long, the product will bubble and potentially leave a pock-marked, bubbly patch. I apply heat to the point where the product is almost fully melted and then allow the residual heat to continue softening it until it flows and seals the intended crack(s). I'll update after a winter with product (see bottom) I will add that this seems to be a good option if you have fairly defined cracks that are somewhat recently formed. If you've got alligator cracking, you may want a different product unless you don't mind spending the time essentially arranging tiny lengths of the patch tape to outline the alligator pattern or otherwise be a bit wasteful melting a whole bunch of the tape and trying to get it to flow into and seal the cracks and a bunch of flat asphalt. By the time you're blasting the propane torch for a few minutes, you'll probably wonder if a pour-on product would have been easier. To each their own though. --- Update 4/30/23 --- Ok, after a winter, some of the seals have cracked. It isn't consistent for which ones separated, but I'll have to either re-heat the existing patches or apply a bit more material to fix the hairline cracks that have re-emerged. Northeast winter wasn't terribly cold, but we did have the nasty cold snap that dropped us into a record low of double-digit negatives for 1-2 days. I'm a little less enthusiastic about the product and docking a star.

Beware it shrinks and isn’t way to hard to cut. Just make sure you keep the paper backing on when and after and during placement or you’ll waste it, a lot. I found the slowly heating the asphalt at the edges and then gently hearing until liquifaction works best. Just be aware that too much flame will blow the tape over and you’ll get a poor coverage. Better than the latex alternative but very pricy for the actual coverage. Served its purpose well overall.

Très bon travail avec une torche pour chauffer.

all good

Product is good however, the melt time is a little difficult to reach without burning pavement around. Spreading it with trowel helps. 4'' wide installs much easier than 1''

I just got round to using it a few weeks back and it works well only thing is the price is a bit high, but after years of using crack filler out of a bottle and just a waste of money this tape is the way to go very easy to use and it seals the cracks

Good
