This product cures extremely solid within 3 to 4 hours making it a great asphalt repair option even for busy parking areas.
One 50lb bag of Cold Asphalt Patch will allow you to patch 4 square feet of asphalt 1 inch thick. Mimimum order: 6 bags.
Originally, cold patch asphalt was used for temporary patching and repair on potholes. Over time, manufacturers have made some improvements in its formula so that the patching material became easier to work with and can last as long as a typical hot asphalt mix. This development is indeed good news for homeowners who want to save money by doing their own driveway pothole repairs, wherein buying hot asphalt mix and equipment is not feasible for their needs.
How To Cold Patch Asphalt
Begin by properly preparing the pothole: remove any loose stones or debris, and ensure the hole is completely dry. Next, fill with Cold Asphalt Patch. At this point it's time to start tamping the cold asphalt mix down, making sure there are no air pockets. Finally, allow the repair job to cure for three to four hours.
A strong asphalt patch starts with the right preparation. This entails making sure that the pothole is cleaned of dirt and loose pieces of asphalt. Make sure too that the asphalt edges of the hole is solid; remove the crumbling bits with a chisel or screwdriver. It is also important that before pouring in the Cold Asphalt Patch the depth of the pothole is assessed. Ideally, the patching material should not be less than one inch and not more than two inches. If it is too thin, it will not be durable but if it is too thick, it will take longer to cure and harden.
How to Know If You Can Patch Over an Oil Spot – Use the Key Test
Before using Cold Asphalt Patch on an area with oil stains, it’s important to test if the surface is too compromised to hold a repair. If you apply patching material over oil-saturated asphalt, it can lead to sinking, crumbling, or failed adhesion.
The Key Test
- Press a key or screwdriver into the stained asphalt.
- If it crumbles or the tool sinks in: The surface is too damaged. Cut it out and patch it with Cold Asphalt Patch or perform a full-depth infrared repair for best results.
- If the surface is solid: Hot pressure wash and chemically treat the area to remove surface oils, then consider applying an oil spot primer before sealing the patch.
This one-minute test helps ensure you’re working on a stable surface—preventing wasted material and giving your patch a solid foundation that lasts.
If the hole is more than two inches deep or if the foundation has been removed, it must be filled up first with gravel. This takes us to the next important thing: tamping. Tamp the gravel with a flat steel tamper or the end of a 4x4 post prior to applying the Cold Asphalt Patch. After applying the asphalt filler, tamp that down as well. Tamping down both layers of gravel and asphalt patch is very important to the success of a pothole repair job. Otherwise, the pothole will just reappear or the patch will sink and cause indentations or pits.
The cold asphalt filler has been formulated so that it can be driven on immediately since it starts to harden upon application. However, it is best to allow the patch to cure totally before letting it bear heavy loads. If you want long lasting results from the Cold Asphalt Patch allow it to thoroughly cure and reach its hardest state before subjecting that part of the driveway to heavy usage especially if it is a wide pothole. Some parts may still be soft and if you drive over it, dimples or depressions may appear on the repaired patch.
Applying a sealer or sealcoating will also make that patch last for a long time since this prevents the asphalt from becoming brittle. Sealcoating preserves the asphalt’s flexible properties, which can deteriorate from exposure to changes in weather and outdoor temperatures. You have to wait for the Cold Asphalt Patch to thoroughly cure as well before applying the sealer. Sealcoating before the patch is cured will not allow it to harden thoroughly because the sealer will cut off the air supply that hardens the asphalt.
