Looks like a spammer asked a question to advertise their product

I think you probably owe him an apology.


I apologize, what bugs me are the spammers, the most creative get a
name similiar to a existing member, ask the question then answer and
advertise their product.


the best results for me have bbeen crack filler in caulking gun tubes..


the key is spewrating the driveway from the street and filling the
entire slot with whats essentially black flexible caulking.


did


No need for an apology. I understand that in an online environment
(not face to face), many misunderstanding can easily happen. This is
pretty much a part of the deal.


I also understand that spammer can post a question using an
alternative identity and then answer it back. This trick is very
old. I used to hear a story about a newspaper columnist had two
columns under two different names in two newspapers, and then using
those two columns to attack each other just to draw people attention
and increase readership.


I will go to local home center to look for permanent flexible caulking
material. I am not hopeful because I had looked for it several years
ago in the last time when I tried to repair the driveway. But I will
try looking for it one more time anyway.

how about melted tar, after first cutting the two surfaces clear of
one another?


This is the first time I have heard of a product like Flomix. From the
pictures of the product from their website, it appears to be a dry mix
that you add water to and then apply. The product is described as a
urethane polymer? When I go to a store like Menards, they have 1 year,
2 year - up to 8 year driveway sealers. Each touts that it has 1x, 2x
- up to 8x the polymers. Each also costs progressively a lot more. Is
the polymer in these sealers also urethane polymers like Flomix? Since
Floxmix is pretty expensive and maybe hard to get, how well does a 8
year sealer work compared to Flomix?
