Question

What is the difference between water based and oil based driveway sealer? Which one is better?

Answer 1

All I can tell you is that I know about oil and water based exterior paint and this might help. Oil based paint cracks more quickly and water based paint will stretch more like caulk and last longer. Good luck! Just make sure you get the highest quality product of either one. Tip: Highest quality product IS ALWAYS cheaper because the expense to redo something or fix something is more expensive. I would go with the highest quality of the water based material.

Answer 2

Main difference is clean up.  Water based, all you have to do is use water to clean up your tools.  Oil based, you will have to use paint thinner or some type of solvent to clean everything.
