[@toobView13]

Hand tamper and a big propane torch for 30s on a small area till you see the oils bubbling worked for me. Thank you!

[@bobo-wf1jv]

That is a beautiful repair job, I can see it's been tamped very evenly and yes, same here, my patches seem to take several months to cure.

[@frankhaskell6543]

As soon as I saw the Quickrete Pot hole patch that u were working with,,,WITHOUT even clicking on ur video I TOTALLY new what your video was gonna be about n I said to myself hes either gonna ask or he know that u need to torch it when u lay it down,its even better sir when u dump it from ur bucket that u heat it up then n then get ur rake or loot, n then itll spread super easy n set up perfectly, if u can get ur hands on a gas tamper or even a 8-12pound hand tamper n bang it down ,itll look even better ESPECIALLY with a gas tamper, 20 n up years of ASPHALT work my friend n I still love seeing people have there ways on working with certain materials n dif machines n tools that pertain to ASPHALT, cm crazy or what u want I'm 44yrs of age I'm now 100% disabled, n I still wish my body would handled doing what I know n loved doing ASPHALT work construction...But I guess God has other plans for me now..Looks good brother ,keep it up..Lay that "(BLACK GOLD)"

I'm in the middle of doin this now! Your video made me go and buy a tourch man! Shit works awesome. I'm doing my whole driveway with this stuff laying on top of some cracked existing asphalt. I wish the tourch was a bit longer, but it works, thank you!

[@SRTPCC]

Awesome bud!

[@Saywhatohno]

How did it work with existing asphalt?

[@kdugg]

How is that driveway holding up? I’m looking at doing the same thing

[@juliovasquez7984]

@@kdugg it's holding up pretty well!

[@windellmcspindell3652]

I tamped my patches down after putting down quikrete then lightly spritzed with gasoline and lit it (carefully). It burned off in around 30 seconds to a minute and worked great.

[@jeffclark5024]

One thing I’ve found that makes this stuff last exponentially longer is sealing it with asphalt sealer.. most of these cold, patch bags specifically tell you not to. So of course I went ahead and did. I’ve got a couple patches that are going on 10 years old and still look like new. The other patches that I didn’t see have long since fallen apart.

[@SRTPCC]

Good tip, thanks!

[@terryosullivan9395]

They’re selling this stuff So they want it to break up.

[@sarahosinovsky4025]

Brilliant!

[@SRTPCC]

Thank you!

[@kooter6136]

I had the same issue, for the fastest drying open up the box, mix it with some cement & then pour it where you need to patch. Torch dries the top quickly but the bottom stays soft

[@SRTPCC]

Didn't think of that, great idea with the sub mix in layers

[@soothsayer2406]

Can you add some cement dust, then slather a smooth layer of rubberized epoxy shield.... let it cure then put two coats of sealer...it would be nice to get the surface smooth to prevent water from even getting into the repair

[@SRTPCC]

Yes, I think that might work...

[@Summerlin866]

@@SRTPCC right.. you could dust it with mortar only thing it will dry grey then it will take 2 or 3 costs of sealer to hide and cover..

Zaines, did the trick also work for you? Thanks a lot.

[@ZainesElectricTrainz]

@@mfengoog yes it did

[@KKCEV528]

Nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikesmith4352]

I tried this, not to speed up the curing time but hoping the tar would melt and make a smoother, less gravely appearance. Didn't work the way I had hoped

[@SRTPCC]

Yeah its still porous tamping. I wonder if heating with a light sand top coat would make a difference??

[@gamerajkjag1543]

​@@SRTPCCAsphalt is made of aggregates and bitumen. Also is this cold patch made of bitumen or tar?

[@Jimmythepin]

Always wear open-toed sandals when using a Tiger Torch.

[@SRTPCC]

IKR lol

[@davekushman2363]

It looks like you haven’t tamped it, that normally is what helps it harden up in a day or two

[@SRTPCC]

Actually I did tamp it before heating and for several days there after to help speed it up

[@zachsilva3874]

Coal patch is the way to go let’s all buy coal patch and expect it to last 30 years and hold up to anything

[@SRTPCC]

:)

[@patpassarelli6142]

U can heat cold patch up to 175 no hotter you don’t wanna burn the oils out of it

[@chrishayes5755]

I'll heat'er til she's fully cooked instructions be damned

[@Clintk14]

I’m pretty sure you are not recommended by the manufacturer to do this . It may compromise the longevity ,then again maybe not . I’m curious to how it’s held up .

[@dustinsmith9064]

A plate compactor works wonders. I put down 40 bags of this at a movie theater for large potholes and compacted the heck out of it. Compaction is what gives you the hardness and durability. You could even lay a sheet of thick plywood over it and drive over it with a vehicle. It looks just like real Asphalt now and in perfect condition even after a winter of plowing.

[@WaveyaAddict]

How about a one year update? How did it perform compared to the section next to it - the one that was months old at the time you made the video?

[@SRTPCC]

Where my renters tire was everyday it pushed out. It's not the product tho. Otherwise it is holding up as well as the part not fired

[@WaveyaAddict]

@@SRTPCC thank you for the updated report and the the effort of sharing your work!

[@Saywhatohno]

@@SRTPCC does it hold up well?

[@SRTPCC]

@@Saywhatohno 2 yrs later, I'm gonna have to add another bag this yr from tire indentions but keep in mind I extended the driveway vs patching. I'm happy with the product

[@Saywhatohno]

@@SRTPCC that’s why I was asking because aquaphalt 6.0 is another product and it has awesome reviews and quality. But it costs $100 CDN lol so yea that’s the trade off I am inclining more on $20cad bags and just keep using it after couple years as needed and hopefully it will settle after a while.

[@kerinelson8489]

I did the same thing and it still washed out. Next, I'll try hot mix or aquaphalt.

[@Summerlin866]

Tamp then sand the top then tamp again.. seal right over..

[@LoayOmari]

I bought the brand that Home Depot sells, allegedly it is traffic ready immediately… so after the disappointment I looked up this video … I bought a torch and did exactly what happened in this video … but I sprayed it with water to simulate the rain … hoping it will work … I really need help with this

[@SRTPCC]

Nice!

[@stevesiefken6432]

After heating the asphalt, were you able to drive without it sticking to your tires or shoes?

[@SRTPCC]

I let mine sit for a few days

[@luis78578]

I’m about to patch a medium sized pot hole but no torch….you think if I shoot a little lighter fluid on it and light it up it would work???

[@SRTPCC]

I don't think I would

[@erekbrown3674]

Heat, in my experience softens. What you need is calcium

[@jacobjakeup7106]

No. It’s not 😂 it’s soft because it has kerosene in the mix. It does not need calcium.

[@thomasfeller337]

I tried this and it started crumbling after a few months. I may have used too much heat and/or the area has more traffic than the cold patch could handle.

[@SRTPCC]

Mine has worn down some also where is has parked cars turning the wheel

[@tmorgan8556]

Reading comments, it takes 3 months to seal it? My driveway slopes down from the road. I need to find a way to build a little ramp in front of garage doors. It rains I'm flooded out inside garage.

[@SRTPCC]

Its permeable & if you use the garage the tires will flatten it out. It literally takes many months in full sun to harden. I was just trying to speed the process. Your best bet is a drain. Look at NDS channel drain at Lowes...12' is $88 + concrete saw rental. Good luck

[@tmorgan8556]

@@SRTPCC thanks, was trying to avoid that. I've been a widow since I was in my 30s and was hoping I could do this myself, financially I need to, but not sure I can pull that off, but thanks.

[@SRTPCC]

In that case fast set concrete could be a great option

[@donaldhamilton5345]

Would it work better to use / rent a compactor ? Hardening and longevity ?

[@SRTPCC]

I can only imagine it would help

Yes

[@FromTheHood2TheWoods]

Just read bag it says takes 3 months before u can seal over it. That’s crazy. Any way around that

[@SRTPCC]

Not that I'm aware of, it is crazy but a new asphalt drive they say give it a year...

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

I always seal right after and it keeps it together much better, I used to wait a year, but found that harsh winter weather degraded the integrity of the patch.

[@youngprince716]

@@functionalvanconversion4284 if course the manufacturer would say don't do it right away. They want you to buy more patch when it doesn't hold lol

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

@@youngprince716 I think maybe the variability around temperature/ground moisture. I just completed another repair where I used cold patch, then sanded patch over (to smooth it out), and finally sealed over both products 2 weeks later. So far it has held up just fine and seems to like it's holding up well.

[@boots211]

Your telling me these torches are good for more than just heating the asphalt for street racing!?!😮😂

[@SRTPCC]

Right??

[@mperezvalverde]

Buy some tack and fog seal it(asphalt emolsion)

[@SRTPCC]

I will be sealing it next round, thanks Fog Coating is an application of a diluted asphalt emulsion to an aged (oxidized) pavement surface. Fog Coats are a standalone low-cost pavement preservation applications used to rejuvenate asphalt surfaces, seal small cracks and inhibit raveling. Fog Coats are commonly used on older asphaltic roads and cold mix pavements. Tack Coats are a light application of diluted asphalt emulsion, however, they are not a standalone application. Tack Coats are generally applied prior to paving operations, as they are designed to create a strong adhesive bond between surfaces and prevent slippage

[@awakenotwoke2643]

Thats what she said.

[@SRTPCC]

Hahahaha, right!

[@TritonCommerceMA]

You might want to keep on burning and hit all that clover ;)

[@jamesknowles658]

can you chuck diesel on it and burn it??

[@SRTPCC]

I have a feeling.... no lol

[@Defender-Guy]

Diesel will break down the oils and it’ll unravel. They used to use diesel to stop asphalt from sticking to the equipment.

[@kylesundquist5076]

You need a tamper , but you probably know that.

[@SRTPCC]

Yes I actually did tamp it )

[@michaelrich3552]

The trick is to top coat it afterwards.

That's what I do always although asphalt professionals will tell you to wait a year.
