Modeling asphalt Updated with pics

Has any one ever used this:
"The Modeler's Asphalt" made by Creative Customcraft in Edgemont, PA.
I must've bought this 1 lb tub in the mid to late 90's (right before my divorce, but that's another story). I never used it on my previous layout. I found it in a box of my scenicking stuff. Hmmmmmm. So I laid a test patch. It looks like it is still viable. Better yet, it looks just like asphalt! Brand new, just laid asphalt!
I cannot find a viable reference for it, or the company on the web.
Just wondering how long it takes to setup, can I paint it, etc....
But it sure looks like blacktop to me.

Can't say I've ever used it, but it does remind of the roads here in Nebraska.[:D]

TexasTs,
I haven't used it myself, but the paving material sold by
Arizona Rock & Mineral Co.
appears to yield a similar result:

They have it listed under SP Black Cinder in their product listing.
