  • 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!

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

  • 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!

  • Good information. However, using the word "Tar" is not good as it refers to a "carinogenic" material that promotes the formation of cancer. Tar has been banned in South Africa. The correct word for the product appears on the bag: "Asphalt". Please stick to the correct product description.
