Fix Potholes Yourself With Cold Tar Mix

Potholes in the driveway are not only an eye sore, but they can also do damage to your vehicle. In this DIY, XO repairs some driveway potholes with Builders cold tar mix. Once you know the basics, you’ll have that pothole covered and have your driveway looking great in no time.

Very clear, down to the point, fast explanation without any unnecessary words while having everything necessary.

Thank you Xo I’m running for mayor in my city. We have major pothole repair to do. I’ll be mostly doing it myself. Your videos will help me a lot.

Awesome! I finally have an idea of how to fix the potholes at work.

How do I tag the whole country in this comment? I think we're going to have to fix our country's problems ourselves from now on

When sweeping up after repair use the old dust and brush it on top of the patch to blend it in !!

Love the demo, but, you really should wear garden or similar gloves when removing old tar (at all times through the process, actually!), as there can be unexpectedly sharp objects embedded in them (e.g., in my handyman career, I've found glass, can tops, nails, et al.). Love the tip about letting the asphalt sit in the sun (n.b., a blowtorch used gently over the cleaned hole, before adding the asphalt, helps, too, but, is not necessary, and can be dangerous for those not accustomed to working with torches, and, of course, it adds to the expense). Avoid sealcoating small areas, alone, as it will not work as well as coating the entire driveway. Also, if you don't have a stamper, a 3-5 pound sledgehammer works just as well, though, of course, it'll take more time (since I rarely fix potholes, I don't have a stamper, and wouldn't have a place to put it, if I did!). Do not use the back of a shovel, as you'll never get the even and heavy pressure needed to tamp the asphalt; also, don't bother running your car over it: You'll ruin all the work by pushing the asphalt out of the holes, not to mention getting the stuff on your tires, because, surprisingly, the distributed weight of the car isn't as good as the sledgehammer or stamper!

Great video what are your thoughts about putting driveway-sealer down first and then putting the driveway patch on top of that and then 24 hours later putting driveway sealer over that ?

Great for South Africa. Won't work anywhere there are freezing winters. Even if you do it in the summer, it will heave out in winter.

[Missusri]

well....do you put anything to put on the cold tar mix?

What to do to get it the same color as the old asphalt? it stands out now.

I'm very impressed with this presenter. I bet he speaks like 5 or more languages 😐

I have the perfect solution for potholes. My dad gave me this recipe before he passed away. He worked for an American company and it was way back in the 70's and 80's, you can still drive on those roads until this day...there will appear a pothole in some other part of the road but never on that part where it's been fixed. Unfortunately: I am a woman and I am South African, so I wont get the contract to do it...sad, very sad!
