  Regrind over asphalt

Just my $.02 the recycle will never stay on top of old blacktop with out some type of containment. If you can put some material on each side of driveway to lock the recycle in it might stay. As you put it in do not be afraid to offend a tree hugger and lightly spray kerosene or fuel oil on it as you put it in to rerelease the asphalt in it. Tread it in good with some type of tamp.

  Regrind over asphalt

A lot of how your recycle will perform is what type of machine is used: a down cut or up cut. Yes you are correct if you spread it 2X thicker (minimun of about 4" any type) than the largest nominal size it will work fine.

I made an assumption the driveway was already at grade. You have to have some thing to lock in the edges.

I also failed to mention the use of calcium flakes spread in the material as it is leveled.

My drive around pond has over 8" it and has been in over 15 years it was put in over clay and topsoils. It is starting to show wheel ruts now. It will be worked over this year. I'll get some finely crushed from work spread at 2" use scarfire on box blade regrade then repack with truck.

  Regrind over asphalt

I would try sometype of crusher run top soil blend. I would not be afraid to reuse millings that have sat for a year the asphalt has not disappeared it still there. The key is to regrind them or break up the chunks as much as possible. I would also try to break up the old drive as much as possible.

Just as a reference I have about 70,000 tons of millings in our yard. We crush them and add them back to asphalt. Our lab tests them often we have yet to lose any asphalt content unless we fail to keep them clean. Some piles are 25,000 tons plus and have been there for 6 years.

I would still recommend using kero or fuel oil to rerelease the ac.
