Patching the Hole
1. Chisel or cut the edges of the hole straight down to a depatch of at least 1"; square off the hole as much as possible.
2. Sweep all loose material out of the hole.
3. Place the Blacktop Patch in ½" layers, tamping each layer solid.
4. Final compaction may be done by covering the patch with a piece of plastic or plywood and driving over it with a car.
5. Wait at least 1 month before sealing the entire driveway with QUIKRETE TRAFFIC TOP® Driveway Sealer.
Note: Blacktop Patch is designed to patch potholes or large cracks. It is not intended for paving.
For Best Results
- Keep the Blacktop Patch in a warm location until it is ready to be used. Do not use it if the temperature is below 50° F.
- Sprinkle dry sand or cement on the surface of the patch to speed curing and to remove adhesiveness of the patch's surface.
- Do not use Blacktop Patch when rain is expected within a few hours.
- Allow the patch to cure for 1-1/2 days before driving over it.
