great excuse to start a business. if the city and county people don't wanna repair your roads, take advantage of it and make some money.
You can fill a pothole in 12 minutes but my town still hasn't fixed theirs in 10 years.
In Germany they put up street signs with "Achtung Straßenschäden" written on them which means Beware of road damage. No joke.
This Country is going downhill so hard. Now we got huge flood damage in western Germany but the gouvernment got no money for the german n1 in the world tax payers left. They throw it at banks and "settlers" instead.

Advice from someone who is a certified asphalt inspector with the state of Oregon: clear your large chunks from the pot hole in question. With Cold Mix AC you can get away with having water in the pot hole but if you're using Hot Mixed AC then you need to make sure that your pot hole has dried completely. When doing Hot Mixed AC you want to hot saw your pothole into a square/rectangle shape; this minimize the chances to have a failure on your raked edge. For every inch you need to add 1/4 of an inch to compensate for compaction (i.e 2 inch deep pot hole you need an additional 1/2 inch for compaction.) Never a bad idea to saw cut your pot holes square when doing cold mix patching but you've probably gotten to a point where you don't care and just want to get it done so whatever I guess.
I know it’s been 9 months but since you took the time to make this comment just know in the time it takes to carry a baby to full term you have been appreciated
I ama plumber in California,for some reason we started doing asphalt patches where we cut,been looking at a few videos and you're information makes sense.

I have no idea why this was in my recommendation two years after it was uploaded but you know what, I'm not mad. This guy did a great job at advertising this, I might buy a bucket or three. I know of a few potholes that need to be filled in.
Man South Africa needs you. It takes our councils years if not decades to fill a pothole, with a large crew and a truck. They have resorted to filling it with earth and gravel. It works great until the next time it rains. The amount of deaths and damage this causes is astounding. I am going to send your video to our councillor anyway.
Forgot the final step. Lightly coat the top with some sand, then lay a piece of plywood over it and drive on it with a vehicle several times. Without the sand, it will stick to the board and also every car that hits it for a couple days.
This man is the most unintentional real life Peter Griffin I've ever seen. I'm dying laughing.

@@ev6558 I've been in construction/renovations for the past 14 years idk where you got a random age and that I don't know anything or have built anything. The point is that your beloved "proper road crew" is nowhere to be found when potholes exist for years. Where as it would be easier for a civilian at this point to just grab a few buckets of this stuff and fix it themselves.
@@kraven4444 But that's not the point because that's not what you said, you're just frantically backpedalling now. I'd be surprised if you've even been alive for 14 years.
@@dprov1877 I know. Even though there is cheap alternatives. They probably get a quote for thousands of dollars per pothole and then go well we can't afford that. And I gotta drive into sinkholes for years.
Yes here in Germany we have 8 guys leaning on their shovels watching the one guy that works on the hole and another 6 engineers discussing how the pothole came up...
Glad we aren't the only ones that deal with that here in the US. In the county I live in currently, all the priority is placed on new construction, or the road infrastructure to support more housing which in all honesty is being done well and on time, but all the old construction get's ignored untill its to the point of entire dilapidation, and when they decide to actually repair a pothole, it takes like 2 weeks of road detours and road work zones that never seem to actually have any work going on.
You all do realize that usually when those guys are leaning on shovels part of it is they are tired and hot from doing physical work. So kids, pay attention and make sure you do well in school and land a job in a fortune 500 company or start your own company/business. I work for a fortune 500 company (ranked in the top 40 actually), but cut those guys some slack. People complain about how hot it is mowing a lawn, but these guys are usually working in the heat with very hot asphalt.
@@CondoreComputing Shit drives me crazy when 3 lanes of road are blocked off and you see the same 6 dudes. 3 or 4 not doing shit and other 2 digging a hole or some shit.
The engineers would probably say “potholes appear where the road base stays wet because it is not properly drained”.
Good job on the patch. From what I have always been told a hot patch is better and will last longer than a cold patch. It would be interesting to see this patch after one year, but in this case two years since that is how old this video is.
What is the fixing element in it?
As a constructor, all I can think is: How will this look in two years?
First of all, leaving all the dirt on the bottom, this material can´t stick to the underground, the dirt will act as a layer of interface.
And second, when all the water in the material is gone, it will leave a ton of little wholes and spots inside.
So water can pour in again, this water freezing to ice in the winter will enlarge its volume and cause micro cracks in the material.
This will not last long I would bet.
We sell this where I work and it is a great product. The surrounding area will fall apart before the patch. You can install this ina rainstorm, water activates the binders and you can install this in winter as well adding a little RV Antifreeze to the water. Once you are done installing this you can open it to traffic ASAP! No need to wait 24 hours like he stated.
I thought this, however whatever chemical is in it will utilize the water. The pressure applied in the process moved, soaked and distributed the original water. The solution fell apart easily so looks like water can move through it freely until the chemical reaction takes place. This just looks like a solution that works. All that said, I know nothing of this type of thing, but they're my limited conclusions.
It won't last halfway through the next winter...
@@krisg822 Well, I live in Canada and potholes "repairs" like this one don't last long... Even when it's fixed correctly, it usually only lasts about a year or so.
@@nic12344 That´s mostly because it isn´t "fixed correctly".
1. Clean the hole from every dirt, because any of it will prevent the connection between old and new material
2. Hole has to be dry
3. Add a binder to all surfaces of the hole, so that there is a connection between old and new, this connection should be sealed
4. Bring the material in and compress it firmly, so that there are no spots and little holes in the material and especially at the contact surfaces, because every little hole will take water in and cause damages/losen the new material
Finally, the usual way is to pour in hot material. The hotter the surface of the potthole, the better.
Potthole fixing in cold weather isn´t a good idea this way.
And maybe some epoxy-stuff would work, but then you still will have to connect the new with the old material and you have to seal this connection.
That´s why I´m very sure, this example here will not work.
Aquaphalt is a wonderful product. We use it for quick repairs when sealcoating driveays

Everyone is laughing about "it's water activated" and saying its asphalt not concrete. Well it's called Aquaphalt. For those that don't know... Aqua means water. So I'm assuming that everyone saying he shouldn't have put water on it has not gone to Aquaphalt's website. It says to water it and it sets up in 24 hours. So my guess is that this isn't traditional asphalt. Check into things before spouting off on what this man said. The first thing I did after the video was look up the website.
Thank you
The adhesive is water activated.
Well I have been doing asphalt for 22 yrs and I'm here to tell you everything is wrong with what he is doing. Right from the beginning. It may look right but it isn't and will only last for about 2 to 4 weeks and it WILL start to come up
@@williamkirk9604 Thanks for your interest in Aquaphalt and for bringing your expertise to this conversation. This patch was installed correctly and has been in place without any problems for about a year now. Aquaphalt comes with a 3-year warranty. Since you have been installing hot asphalt for 22 years I can understand why this might seem different to you. Its a new technology from Europe and is now being utilized by DOT's all over the US with great success.

I’m going to look for potholes in my street and stand there thinking what a Good Samaritan I will be if I patch them up.🤔😂
That's how they fixed the potholes in our city over years. It hold until the winter. After some days of ground frost the material got loose and when it thwas the pothole is back and you have a full road drainage.
Yeah, cold patch has some issues with sticking. But, it's in the name, isn't it? "Cold Patch" not "Cold Fix." To really fix it you'd need an infrared, a plate compactor or roller, and hot mix. But for an individual tired of waiting on the city to get to it, and not willing to spend the money on a rental infrared, this is about as good as you'll get.
It could be a longer lasting solution in hotter regions though. I live in Arizona and in the valley winters never get to freezing and rain isn't common.
It's good stuff for a spring/summer patch job. Usually the crews don't put enough in and there's still somewhat of a pot hole when it settles though. Then up here in the north, it gets destroyed in the winter with the salt and the plows. And the same thing needs to be done again next spring/summer.
It’s like 3am why am I watching this.

A bit of satisfaction came upon me seeing a pothole being filled in. 😊
i was kinda hoping the buckets and tools wouldve fell out when he drove away lol
make this video in Italian, italians will need this, it will get viral in Italy
That’s similar method our PHILADELPHIA street department uses. So every few month they would come back and fix it again and again and again
There's a reason for that. The cost benefit make sense.
It's a waste of money to send out a hot bitumen truck for a small pothole.
It makes more financial sense to wait for a road to degrade overall to a point where it's time to replace a large segment. Roll out the big road works equipment.
Saw and hot asphalt no need for a bitumen fill
NEED TO SPRy plastic over to allow it to settle/harden
Ive never seen this method, ILLINOIS doesnt even come to the roads until they've basically degraded into country dirt paths
@@Oliepolie lol, i love driving through illinois and seeing grass( middle of the highway) on a 2 lane interstate (55) im talking between the passing lane and driving lane !! Lol
Look how perfectly the asphalt he puts stays exactly in the pot hole.
That's a pro there.

I believe you did a great job. That's awesome makes me wanna go out and fill up a pothole.
I would've been impressed if you showed it after it has set and smacked it with a sledge hammer to show how durable it is. But you didn't. So I'm not.
was thinking the same thing, for all we know its junk.
im still not convinced this is a replacement for cutting the hole out, digging to the foundation and refilling with the same material, i think if its harder or softer than the material your patching up youll get problems later on? i might be talking out my ass though haha
it looked like it had recently been patched by the colour of the old tarmac witch obviously didn't look like it lasted long
Right? Says ''we'll come back tomorrow' - and then never does. It was disappointing.

Do these guys ever consult the professionals? A permanent pothole repair means prep work, which includes digging out the sides of the hole until the bottom is wider than the top.
Then the hole gets blasted with a high pressure water hose, then filled with a gravel/sand mix, tamped down to four inches below the surface.
Then heat the edges and pour in hot asphalt, roll it 2 or 3 times and it’s ready for traffic in ten minutes after it’s cooled AND IT’S PERMANENT.
@Susan what do you heat the edges with?
Yeah these cold patches suck. Always fling the rock bits around when you drive afterwards.. my town is the champion of that. My street is a dead end so they won't fix it fully. They've formed patches that include curbs with this crap 😑😑🙄
