Crack StixTM 125 FT. Medium 1/2" Permanent Concrete Joint & Crack Filler - 2051

I have never done anything like this. I had a propane tank and large torch to see if it can kill weeds on another project. It's a larger torch, but it made things easier. I had to use two sticks in a place with a huge gap, but it all leveled out just fine and looks great, even for someone who hasn't done anything like this before. highly recommended product.

The product went on and leveled itself as advertised. This is a much better way than tubes and a caulk gun. Much cheaper also. Two minor issues, they were 14 foot short of the 125 ft. ordered, and secondly the way it was stuffed in the container bucket.I will write another review once it’s been on the driveway for six months.This is a second review. I contacted the seller with my issues and within a week a second container of the product was delivered at no cost to me. It’s refreshing to find a company that stands by it’s product.

UPDATE: Do not buy! It has only been 3 months or so since I filled my driveway joints with Crack Stix and there are many places where the product is separating from the driveway joint and plants are breaking threw the product. I really didn’t expect Crack Stix to fail like this. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Easy to use. Just finished my driveway. Should have done this 10 years ago! Hard to screwup this diy. Cleaned and leveled driveway joints. Dried joints with propane torch. Measured and cut Crack Stix to fill joint. Heated Crack Stix with propane torch (12” inches at a time) until thoroughly melted and smooth. Cooled quickly and firmed up within hours. Turns a nice shade of gray once cooled. I calculated that I would need 400+ feet to cover my driveway but it only required 350 feet. And seven (7) 14.1 oz propane tanks.

Works well, cheaper in stores

Easy to use

The media could not be loaded. The product seems to work well, but it takes a lot of time to apply using either a propane torch or heat gun. It is hard to melt all of the Crack Stix with the torch. I find it is easier to measure out the length, cut it into small pieces of 4-6 inch, melt it in a pot, then pour it into the crack. Wear mask/respirator and gloves for safety.

Product installed per instructions, but it stillShrinks and pulls away from concrete, almost peeling up in some locations with in only three months of Texas Sun. Do not recommend. Waste of money and labor.

Terrible product. I’ve never spent so much on something that worked so poorly. I didn’t bother returning the second shipment of product. Find another solution for stress joints and cracks.
