Thank you for the video. I just filled a 3'x3.5' pothole with Latex-ite Cold Patch H2O. I want to seal it per your instruction in the video. The Latex-ite video says it can be sealed after 24 hours. There are a few mentions on the sealant reviews that I got on HD, that say wait 4-6 weeks to seal a cold patch. Any opinions on that? The Latex-ite Cold Patch H2O instruction video stopped comments, so can't ask the question there. I find that interesting. Thank you.

Hi Mike! If Latex-ite says you can seal after 24 hours, it's good to follow that. However, waiting 4-6 weeks ensures the patch is fully cured for a more durable seal. Our recommendation is to let the patch cure fully before heavy use, especially for larger potholes, to achieve long-lasting results. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions. Good luck with your project! 😊

Can I use ground-up asphalt as a pot hole filler if I heat it up

[@AsphaltKingdom]

Yes, you can use recycled asphalt (millings) to fill potholes. You can also add a rejuvenator to improve adhesion.
