Major fault is don't burn the oil out of the area. Your patch will not stick. Open flame is usually a bad idea as the flame should be Indirect heat like infrared or heat a plate over rhe area with a torch. Alittel new asphalt goes along way too new oils will bond better. But over all not a bad way to do tiny patches
@ebolawarrior451 to a point yes and no. Diesel fuel will break down the structure of asphalt. Hence why it's used to keep beds or truck clean and shovels and loots clean. A little will soften asphalt but just a littel to much and now you just have a mess
Pam cooking spray lol. Road guys just use red diesel on everything! Im actually supprised u didnt spray diesel in the hole and on the "patch". Supposedly it helps the tar from patch and native surface flow together.
Yup. So you get what the video is saying. Read the other comments. Everyone thinks this “burns” the asphalt oils. It would burn if you where so inexperienced that you just hold the torch in one place for the duration. As the video clears shows and says you have to move the torch around as evenly as possible.
@@mudtechworks exactly even if you put too much flame on accident as long as you're careful there will still be enough oils in the asphalt to harden and cure
Only problem is your burning the liquid AC out of the mix by doing this and it's not going to last. That why portable Asphalt recyclers has to have AC added back in to the mix when you reheat it.
@mudtechworks heating cause expansion and thus contraction, cracks, moisture gets in and deteriorates it. Putting sealer on it will help keep those voids from getting water in them.
Sure is. But most people don’t like doing the same work over and over again. Cold mix falls out of whatever you put it in I.e. a pot hole. Unless it’s you getting paid multiple times for the same repairs??? 🤔
"Something heavy....like that" pans to the cart looking embarrassed and ashamed 😢
Nice work. Never knew that. Thank you.

Imagine bondo but on concrete almost 😂
As a professional youtube commentator, I would find out the binding agents heat limits, use a heat gun instead of flamethrower. Make that perfect.
You run asphalt jobs but have no experience using a torch?? What do you think an infrared does? ua-cam.com/users/shortssAVerBAPWyg?si=OXfQVubu5S2iz5Vx

@mudtechworks I'd say that infrared doesn't scorch the material like an open flame does. Do I really need to teach you thermodynamics?
diesel fuel is a good replacement for the pam spray at the end
@@erich4334 i wouldnt pool it on the driveway but we always coat the rakes and shovels, truck chutes and wheel barrow pour spouts

or…. lowes sells bags of asphalt you can buy and fill in your potholes. all you need is a common shovel
But torch bro
That’s cold mix garbage compared to hot mix recovery as shown
Yea pavement doesn't come in a fucking bag. That's called cold patch and it's temporary
It's not asphalt tho.....
You also need a tamper
What would be an uncommon shovel?
Pam oil, “aka” diesel. But we say Pam oil when the inspector is around.
🤫
If you use diesel, diesel also works to keep asphalt off of stuff, it's what they use in the actual paving industry
🤫
Also instead of cooking spray diesel works better to keep the asphalt off your tools
looks like that worked fine
@@grimble707anything can look good for a 60 second video, use the diesel
I have a feeling he used diesel and wanted to say cooking oil to be funny.
Make sure there is not a surveyor nail and disk marker in there first.
😂 could totally see someone doing that leaving the surveyor wondering around looking for it the next day
That is so dangerous I don't know about asphalt but concrete under the asphalt can explode from the torch something I learned in welding school .
He sure is proud of his Leatherman 😂
Woah there boys
Ask for consent before sticking your finger in asphalt

Ill be the 100th comment for u guys, nice work i e used that method lots of times, i re heated about quarter ton one point in time

Diesel fuel works better, for non stick, BTW,go Home Depot, Lowe's, buy urself a bag of asphalt and patch without the rosebud😅
In my experience, the cold patching doesn't hold up like a hot patch. Faster and easier yes, but longevity and finish just ain't there.

Diesel also works well to keep it from sticking to tools.
what would happen if you rolled that roller on it?
SS-1 tack oil has entered the chat...
Steam roller watching you like, am I dead to you!??
It's just a roller. Not a "steam roller"
Diesel works too
Good to know, thanks.
Dontcha gotta clean the dirt/dust out first ???
We just put cement mix in the holes since we already have it on hand 😂😂😂
Cement? Or concrete?
Still better than uk road patches 😂
this is why asphalt is assfalt. just get concrete. its the superior ground
Now that you dried that area out, its gonna deteriorate unless you oil it up good
No. That’s false. But we don’t have time to explain this to every false comment like this.
@mudtechworks heating cause expansion and thus contraction, cracks, moisture gets in and deteriorates it. Putting sealer on it will help keep those voids from getting water in them.
Next do concrete sidewalk repair it’s just like welding!!
You mean Pam is made out of the same stuff as asphalt? EVERYONE PANIC!
Or maybe asphalt is edible?
Nothing like welding! More like patching asphalt...
🫢Sneakers at work.. fired 😂🤜🏻
And a white burn spot
project manager's always know everything but have no on the job exp doing the trade lol just like a Architect's blueprint .
Concrete and something to darkin it
What if I don’t have Pam oil spray?
Legend and has it if you work fast enough the friction of the metal and rocks will keep the tool hot enough to keep the tar from sticking 😎
Probably not the best idea having the propane tank that close to an open flame. Just an FYI.
yep just like welding lol
Gonna lift up as soon as a tire hits it.
Thanks for showing the obvious
Ya learn something new every day
That burns all the oil out of the asphalt. (The torch)
Tiger torch
I don't see a chain
"Only use pam no sticking oil"
Or add cement ??
Cement?
Or concret?
Cold patch is much easier and cheaper.
Sure is. But most people don’t like doing the same work over and over again. Cold mix falls out of whatever you put it in I.e. a pot hole. Unless it’s you getting paid multiple times for the same repairs??? 🤔
Yeah, cooking off asphalt is not good for it.
We all know he meant to say diesel not Pam 😂😂😂😂
Good job melting your sole bud
Should have taken a 4lb and tamped it
Need more weight to push that together then put water on it to cool it quickly freezing it in place. 😊
Diesel works better
Not exactly…
Just get concrete
Too bad there are no snow plows around here.
Low key advertising
We go out of our way to teach people about this industry while we do the actual work. It’s your call from there how you see it. 👍
Pam cooking spray aka diesel
Mini steam roller is more efficient with ya mother on it
Better watch your toes…MUDTeCH moms know how to roll and they crush your feet if you insult them.
Ps. Nothing on steam anymore 🤣
Get yo finga out a that divit, and dont ever do that again
U
Roll over that once an tills come out
Negative. That’s the entire point of welding the asphalt in place with heat . It’s now one piece again.
