I've laid down tons (literal tons) upon tons of cold mix. Put it down right and it will last as long as hot mix. I've got a 10 year old patch in my driveway looks just like this one.
good luck when it turns right back into a pothole again. it doesnt seal the water out as well as hot and the freeze-refreeze cycle will wreck this much quicker than a hot patch.
Well you can clearly see foam didn’t work😂. Rip the entire thing out, back fill with type ll for subgrade and compact to 95% then pour new 6” concrete. If your feeling froggy throw in some #4 or #5 12” OC.
@@germanguy2559 He answered the question. The area that the patch was in (parking lot) was all made up of asphalt, the concrete pad is the raised portion.
@RoyJ2012 all cold patch is trash. Never hardens up. You could dig into that in 5 years and it will still be soft. Not to mention the water he poured onto it flowed atraight through it. Great for a very temporary fix, but ultimatly, thqt thing needs to get patched properly
@@eaf-target-xx2745 The Aquaphalt hardens and will last years. I've done potholes and repaired speed bumps with it 3-4 years ago and its still holding strong. The water activates it to harden it. Its not old school cold patch.
@throttletwitch gotcha. I'm just going off what I've seen with my own eyes. Every time we've come across cold patch (I always call that stuff cold patch), even I'd it been down for years, it crumbles and falls apart at the touch of a shovel, or is still very soft
I thought it looked good and would love to see it after you seal coat it this next year. Can you tell me how big your buckets were and what was your square footage there. am been thinking of doing similar.
Looks like it should hold of for a long time! A seal coat on top of the asphalt (if it’s not city owned) will make it all blend and look great if the separation bothers you. Great job!
why he did not cut further , clearly the concrete is all lose of the bottom. cutt all lose concrete away and do it good. i am sure in a year or 2 the concrete next to it breaks also off becuese there is no sole underneath it. if u do this on my job , u can start all over for free....
At $65 a bucket, why not just buy 1 ton of asphalt from the plant? Our local sealcoat manufacturer has this stuff, and I don’t see a good place for it as a contractor at that price point. Maybe if you’re a homeowner looking to patch a pothole in a driveway and save money, but it’s a pass for our team when 1 ton of hot mix asphalt is almost equivalent in price as a 3-gallon bucket of this stuff, maybe I could see it’s use if it’s potential if it’s a very very small area and it’s in a northern state where the plants shut down in the winter but not here in TX. Someone’s always trying to reinvent the wheel.
Would have been more cost-effective to replace the entire driveway 😂 instead, it looks like square poop 💩 and won’t be long until you’re sued for Stranger Things copyright infringement
That's the dum3st thing ever concrete done right would last over a 100 years ..that stuff is garbage..also the driveway is concrete why would u do that makes no sense at all
Well that will work great until tomorrow.
I have pulled up enough old cold patch to know it'll be fine for a long time

@@NWJFOK.
Nope it won’t.
How much did you charge for this job?
That’s not a pothole that’s a bloody bomb crater
sinkhole
This is how you have fun in Palestine
The asphalt cakes were oddly satisfying
As a german roadconstruktor, this cold asphalt is used to temporary fix potholes !! He didnt compact enough, so its just a pain to see this video 😑
The number of people that think the asphalt is concrete is astounding
Hey can I ask- you can use asphalt to patch up concrete (like they did here) and vice versa- use concrete to patch asphalt driveway?
The material under the exist pavement not well compacted, there will be a washout again soon. Should have used floable fill instead.
good luck when it turns right back into a pothole again. it doesnt seal the water out as well as hot and the freeze-refreeze cycle will wreck this much quicker than a hot patch.
end result was trash , looked least 5 mm below surface level ,mismatched too

Even what he did probably isn’t going to fix the drainage problem causing that erosion

@@MrCk1234567890 "I'm too dumb to understand basic construction terms 🤓☝️"
you're hired
its not concrete...
did you have an underground pipe leak? or why the massive cavity? Looks like when our sewage pipe broke
Why not repair the patch with concrete to match the rest?
That concrete is a separate pad. The area that sunk down is asphalt.
@@WingingItDIY you did not answer the question....
@@germanguy2559he did, you just didn’t understand.

I'm about to do a whole driveway like that lol.
Cold patch won't last long. Good temporary fix. I should know I worked with that stuff before
That's Aqua fault he's using will last it's about 80 bucks a bucket

That’s a sinkhole
Perfect fix😂😂😂noone will ever notice
What was that, 5 yards of concrete under 3 buckets of cold patch, bordered by concrete on both sides of the cold patch? 🤔
Asphalt drive that leads to a concrete pad. Used D1 to fill the hole and cold patch on top.
I thought it looked good and would love to see it after you seal coat it this next year. Can you tell me how big your buckets were and what was your square footage there. am been thinking of doing similar.
So is he going to leave that 7" tall ledge across the whole driveway? 🤔 Nevermind 👏👏👏 great job.
Wie lange soll das halten. Ein Winter hebt sich das bisschen Asphalt
All this time there was a hollow under a road??
Next time cut the repair all the way back to where the washout has undermine the base
pretty good video, odd music choices
Why would you fill asphalt in a concrete driveway? That's hideous
I remember aimlessly having to pour this crap because our boss was cheap. 2 days later back into a pothole.
First time seeing someone use a skill saw to cut asphalt lmao usually a chop saw does just fine
Look, its a driveway. Not a roadway. It may settle a little but if he touches it up with a little more mix. The patch will hold up fine.
Great job
Thank you!
YES AQUAPHALT IS EXCELLENT...BUT THE PRICE OF THAT STUFF IS HARDLY AFFORDABLE to the average Joe.
Sometimes expensive materials are the right choice, especially when they can delay a $10K repaving by spending a tenth of that.
Looks like it should hold of for a long time! A seal coat on top of the asphalt (if it’s not city owned) will make it all blend and look great if the separation bothers you. Great job!
Should’ve used concrete and build a ramp up to the slab. Now it’s a major tripping hazard
cool video k4000 has some great free songs might help
What he spent on that cold patch I bet he could de got a ton of hot mix lol
Great video. Will help me to raper similar hole but smaller:)Why water after?
The material I used (Aquaphalt) is activated with water. Once you water it, it becomes rock hard.
@@WingingItDIY how come that stuff isn't used for an entire driveway then? Seems to work well.
why he did not cut further , clearly the concrete is all lose of the bottom. cutt all lose concrete away and do it good. i am sure in a year or 2 the concrete next to it breaks also off becuese there is no sole underneath it.

When you've already started working on a short with a nice song, then suddenly the mrs says that song's no good, and you change it.
He took the time to square it up and dig it down, finish it the right way. You’ll be back😂😂
And why there’s a dog on wet asphalt
First thing first clean from around that hole
Why not concrete though?
Wait why is no one talking about the skill saw?? What kind of skill saw cuts asphalt??
Any skill saw with a diamond cut off blade :)
In germany we call it Pfusch hält von 12 bis mittags 🫡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone already tried expanding foam

Band aid patch that won't last but you did something
I'll keep you posted! What is the repair you would have recommended here?
@@WingingItDIY It's probably already a bigger hole at this point.
Where you buy this asphalt?
That was a sinkhole mate
Good way to fix a bad spot !
Why not put 2 in concrete like everywhere else. Way cheaper.
It’s not concrete it’s asphalt that is next to a concrete pad.
Why isn’t it lvled?
Looks like you have water issues.
Why not concrete to match original?
Its asphalt. One is new and the surrounding asphalt is several years old and weathered. I am planning on sealcoating it to match :)
Still about a 2 inch drop off to your patch
It's inches below the rest of your driveway... and you used $300 worth of the stuff!!!
No offense man but that looks horrible.
No offense taken, thanks for the feedback. I will be sealcoating the driveway this spring so it may help blend it all together better.
@Winging It DIY for what it was, thought it turned out pretty damn good. Nice work and thanks for the video.
Its because the old asphalt is washed out from the sun. Seal coating it will blend it. I thought the bottom part was concrete too until I looked again
Would have been more cost-effective to replace the entire driveway 😂 instead, it looks like square poop 💩 and won’t be long until you’re sued for Stranger Things copyright infringement
Should have used Portland cement
Very nice, thank you sharing!
Well that concrete is now going to crack if that wasn't refilled with foam
ich hätte die straße weiter aufgerissen weil wo ein so ein loch ist ist das 2 nicht so weit
It's just going to keep sinking
Cold mix is temporary
The whole driveway is gonna sink its hollow
Dude get your house checked for subsidence/sinkholes if you can, unless you had like an actual stream running along there and washing it out before.
That's the dum3st thing ever concrete done right would last over a 100 years ..that stuff is garbage..also the driveway is concrete why would u do that makes no sense at all
There is a concrete pad adjacent to an asphalt driveway. I pathed the asphalt portion not the concrete.
Get some hot stuff and use a real compactor.
why not just put concrete back in
It was asphalt that came out. It would look funky with a patch of concrete there.
Cold patch has NEVER worked ! It didn't work in the 1970s and it still DOESN'T .
compaction fail under existing asphalt. Give it 2 weeks
Been about 6 months and still looks good!
Couldn’t even sweep the edges before using expensive patch? Wow. Funny.
Yeah but cold patch quickly looks like crap because they use white particulate that then looses the tar and looks mottled. ,
Trabajo en asfalto por mas de 20 años y nunca e visto una marranada asi😂😂😂😂😂
Please share with me your tips! I would love to do better next time.
Should have just filled it up with cemen
Better have figured out the water problems or that's not going to work
The water is supposed to do that lol, it's called AquaPhalt haha.... it's part of the process genius
Thats not gonna work. It will come back 1 year later.
See, using that foam to push up slabs is BS
It is meant for concrete. Not asphalt. It is not bs at all.
No finish
Noooo
Looool 😂
Going to fail next to it immed
I hope not but possibly, at least everyone watching will know when I film the update.
sinkhole.. that's patch ain't gonna work..
How to work on hour XD
Lol
