Sealing a driveway- Squeegee/brush combo broom

[JEDI]

Squeegee/brush combo broom:


This person is using the squeegee side:


So i started sealing the driveway of my 1car garage.

i usually buy a 4-5yr rated sealer in a 5 gallon bucket.
this is my 4th time doing it.
in the past, i had alot of sealer left over using the squeegee side to spread. (like 1/3 of a bucket left)

I swept the driveway with the broom side. then filled in the cracks with crack filler and waited the next day to start.
the next day, i forgot about the squeegee side till about 1/4 of the driveway was done.
when i switched to the squeegee side, i noticed the sealer was going on alot thinner.

so i decided to stick with the broom side.
it coats thicker and i still had a little left over.

there were still little cracks in the driveway because the crack filler shrank when it dried.

so the next day, i used the leftover and i poured directly on top of the cracks.
i didnt want to use the crack filler again because it was a darker color and didnt look nice.

there's now a mound of liquid on top of the cracks like a puddle.
i lightly brushed over it such that it smooths out a little but i still couldnt see the crack anymore.

so i basically wasted $ buying a combo broom and should have just bought a push broom.

yeah, that didnt work.
when it dried, the sealer cracked in the crack. 🙁
