I own a house that had a driveway laid in 1969. I bought the house in 1986 and the blacktop was not in good shape at that time. Deep cracks, spider cracks, etc. After purchasing the house I spent a whole summer making my own hot mix consisting of tar, sand and limestone to fill in and smooth the cracks.

The indication, from your description of the condition and the 40-plus years of your driveway, tells me that you have surpassed the life of your driveway. It is my recommendation that you totally remove and re-pave it. If you were to use our material it would cost $2,400 to cover your driveway. The life of that repair would be hard to estimate. Good luck with your project.
