Seeing this is a nice sunny day, we and our neighbour decided to seal our driveway with some acrylic sealer I bought last year (but didn’t find the chance to put on). It supposedly will protect the asphalt against UV and weather damage.

However, halfway through the application, the bottle went dry (lesson learnt: NEVER believe the advertised coverage area!!) and I had to pick up another bottle. Well, bad luck never come in ones. The same type of sealant seemed to have gone out of production and couldn’t be found in any major stores nearby. So I tried to match the descriptions on my old bottle. These are the hints:

“acrylic”, “matte black finish”, “wet before application”, “apply 2 coats”, “dry in about one hour”.

And came up with this: Black Knight Asphalt Rejuvenator

At $50, it’s not exactly cheap (about twice the price of “Airport Pro” sealers). But acrylic-based sealers are less smelly, dry faster, and don’t look shiny (in my observation, shiny surfaces attract bird droppings). So it looks good in my book.
