Yes...take a visit to your hardware store, and look for blacktop
crack filler. The idea is that you first clean out these cracks
as good as you can. Then sweep the entire driveway. Next, fill
the cracks. Then apply the seal coat. If you waited too long
to apply seal coat, and the surface is dry and crumbles easily,
then you might be better off to get an overlay. That is were
they put down a new backtop surface of 1 to 2 inches over the
existing driveway.
