I've tried the vinyl concrete in the past with less than stellar
results. I'm thinking of using a more flexible filler such as
silicone II caulk with a dusting of sand patted over the top for
cosmetic purposes. I'll brush/vac away the excess after the caulk
dries.

Does anyone have any good experiences with patching concrete driveway
cracks, long term?

Hi,
There is sealant for that(similar to Silicon II). My back yard parking
pad has a crack about 1/4 in. wide which is filled with this stuff.
It stays put for more than 3 yars now. Squeeze in as much as you can and
smooth it out.

bondo, but obviously not if it's still moving. i'm always digging out caulk
and crappy repair mastic out of cracks. i'd rather just fill it for good.
you could use a little extra hardner with the household bondo puddy. frame
off your job and pour it fast to get the liquid settleing effect. =) gotta
luv that bondo. i repaired cracks in my swimming pool deck and you can
hardly see them any more.

Pourcrete. A powder that you add water until it has the consistency of
pancake batter. Pour it in the cracks. Don't make a lot at one time, as it
hardens FAST.

I caulked the driveway cracks 5 years go, then the caulk split open so
I consider it is a temporary fix. You may have better results if
your concrete is more stable than mine.
