Blacktop crack repair

I use the rope type blacktop crack repair from home depot for small cracks. The nice thing about it, the next year when crack opens up, I reheat with propane torch, it melts & fills crack back up. I take a 3' Chunk of caulk rope, heat in old sauce pan over fire pit, then fill cracks. Just my idea of filling cracks that works for me.

for pot holes in my drive a use cold patch asphalt clean out hole heat with torch and fill it up. heat that up flatten out with shovel then throw a little dirt or gravel over it so it does not stick to tires I run a dump truck over mine and all the repairs I have done have held up
 
Summers when I was in college I unloaded 16,000 to 20,000# of cold patch every day. Backing the dump truck over it packs it down best of anything else you can do. There was 33 or 36 miles of roads in our township. Road oil went from a couple cents a gallon to 14-15 cents a gallon, fewer roads got tore up and re-oiled, more roads got patched. Our township had all their own oiling equipment, bet they got rid of it now and let the county do it now.

I rode the back end of the oiler the first year I worked for the township, turn the oil on/off, pull the wing up to clear bridges, pump the oil back out of the spray boom. Oil is/was hot, 150-160 degrees. I wore an old raggety pair of coveralls, had Mom sew a hand towel onto the sweat band of my least favorite ball cap, carried the biggest jar of vasoline in the oiler truck to cover my face. The coveralls would stand up by themselves when we were done. I burned them in the lot after work one night, wasn't hauling them home in my car. Second summer I drove the chip/sand truck. MUCH BETTER job!
