Driveway Elastomeric Emulsion Crack Filler

Used to fill/seal lengthy cracks. Held up very well but will need touchups after a year or so. Used multiple asphalt crack filters over time, would say this was among the best. Rubberized when dry so is more flexible. Excellent coverage and very good value. Fairly easy to apply.

My driveway is 15 years old in the Northeast and I have been using Henry Elastomeric Crack filler for the last five years to manage the cracks and extend the life of the driveway. If you have a reasonable expectation for this product, then it is for you. I found that it definitely slows the spread of the cracks, yet the results will vary from year to year based on Mother Nature's refreezing cycles in each winter season and your ability to apply the sealer effectively and let it dry properly in the summer. That's why I usually get two jugs each year to maintain the old cracks and patch new ones. Attached are example photos from 2026 winter season - you can see that the filler prevented one crack from growing, yet another crack grew by a hair line that i will be patching in the summer. The filler settles into a thin coat during drying. If you have deep cracks, then try planning a couple of patching sessions during the warm summer for better effect because the single fill of a large crack will definitely not fill the crack completely after it dries out even if you have completely covered it initially (it will still do a great job sealing it from deterioration, so patch it even if you have one opportunity). Also, in my experience I found that this filler is vulnerable to rain during drying even if the rain is beyond the 24 hr recommended drying period. You can drive over the sealer after 24 hrs, but know that it is still drying for many days after that. I have a crack in a section of the driveway where water accumulates in a small pool and one year the rain two days after sealing has pretty much diluted the sealer that was in the area where the water was pooling. Thus, a "pro" tip - try to plan patching when you have dry forecast for at least 3-4 days for better effect and definitely, do not drive over the patched areas within 24 hrs as the sealer will just rub off during the initial day of drying. Impute humidity into the drying period - the sealer will settle longer, if you live in humid regions.

The product does a good job sealing driveway cracks which is the main thing, but a few details to keep in mind. As others have said, the product looks brown when it is first applied and then dries to a shiny black color. Kind of like a wet look black. It will also shrink some if it used in a large crack. Finally, the product was too thick to apply using the little pour nozzle so I had to just carefully pull out a little bit and then use a putty knife to spread it around. All that said, I would still buy it again.

Great stuff…. Fixes patches and cracks easily but takes several days to completely dry out. I used wooden planks on the patch areas to avoid driveway/ tire marks. Works really well.

So reading the mixed reviews on this product has me shaking my head. My first order of this product came and the jug of sealer had exploded inside. Looked like the package being delivered in the opening scene of Ace Ventura. Amazon quickly made good with replacing it. 2nd packaged arrived and it wasn’t damaged. It comes in a jug and has a spout that is used as the cap , that can be used for sealing the cracks however it is covered in the sealant. After following the simple shaking instructions and seeing how thin this sealant was I used a cup and paint brush to apply. This stuff went on super easy, filled all the cracks and dried within 10 mins of application. It’s goes on an off brown color and it drys bright black, still looks wet but it’s not. Ive used countless other crack sealers over the years, caulk style and this by far is the easiest and BEST sealant I’ve found. I would give this product 6 stars if I could. Get yourself an old paintbrush, solo cup, and go have fun.

Just used this to fill in some spider web cracks in our driveway. It's interesting how it starts out as a disgusting brown and then becomes a glossy black. I guess I will have to apply a second coat since it appears that the first coat shrunk as it dried and did not fill in the cracks level to the surface. I'll try to update my review after the second coat dries. One week later: I have noticed that a lot of the small cracks are not level with the surrounding asphalt. Seems as if the product shrank and dried below the surface. I just applied a second coat, and it appears that it is still below the surface. I would hate to think that I may have to put a third coat on because… I don’t have enough left, don’t feel like buying another gallon, and I don’t want to spend more time on this project. I am somewhat disappointed.

excellent product and very easy to apply

Well, aside from being a bit pricey - any higher and would have passed on it's "convenience" - use aspect. However, it performed better than describe and that was 14 November at 60F ambient with the Container Kept near a heat source for a day to make sure was in the area of 70F or so. And, I did periodically shake it - and not more than a fast 120 secs, rolled it to the other side, and kept is Nozzle Down. I had no "consistency' or "gobbing" issues at all. Actually the 1/8" cut would have been fine. I cut maybe 4-5 mm hole and was fine, but had to be more careful in tipping it to pour. However, if doing all 1/4" or more cracks, 5 mm was perfect. Of course, some settling occurred and went back over which was not problem since in about 15 min or so (guessing) turned "black" from it's lighter pour color and was hardening. I think (guessing) I was out there about an hour 1-2 at most and by the time I was done, the "drips" I didn't wipe were hard, like pebbles (not, just a comparison for appearance, feel). I kept a narrow, natural hair brush, ~1/2" and long haired, but a "cheap" spot brush, not stiff and not nylon and just shifted the thicker pours and worked in quickly the rest. It applied as expected, better than actually. I am sure if left it as it, for this winter, I'd maintain - as is my plan, then do a heavy coat re-sealing in the spring. However, I'll level it up as appropriate today -- the next day another 60F +- ambient, no less than 50F and no rain for more than 24hrs anticipated. So, for any less than favorable reviews, I am glad it didn't got like that - and it did not. And, all I did to prep was stiff Broom Swept. Anything more - just would not make a difference in my situation - there was nothing more to do than that. The wind blew and etc. and anthing that messed up my prep, well, no effect really. What I like too was the label instructions says, correctly, the surface can be moist or "wet" just not like standing water and soaked. So, if had a more warm day, if one was to give it a good hosing if needed it - you'd be good to go an hour or so later - correct?!, well, I would and comment it if helps anyone wondering. In my area, there's always going to be some - no bone dry conditions and don't think that level of dry is actually better for this in terms of binding with the surface and below it. So, meaning any bit's of dirt that may be there, it bound to and stuck it hard to the surface (made sure to get that cleaned up prior to *hardening" hard). I hope that helps someone!

Very easy to apply and fills the cracks just the way it's supposed to. So far I've only had it on for 2 weeks but it looks great. There's been no cracking and some of the cracks that it filled were half an inch wide and it did a great job on them. The disadvantage is that it's expensive. But I felt I'd rather use an expensive product once then a less expensive one twice.

Works well and easy to apply. The cap needs to be cut to a minimum of 1/4” in to pass the small lumps in the mix. Very few but will. Plug the applicator tip up if it is smaller.

Très bon

Works great and easy to apply

Product leaked in transit. Lost about 1/4 of Product. Used what I could save. Overall good product
