Materials
Commercial patching materials have different abilities and characteristics. Examples are Instant Road Repair, UPM, Pavon and chips, etc. Hot mix asphalt can also be used when available.
General Note: Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines about preparation and placement. In general, a cleaner and drier repair area prior to filling will provide a better result.
