3.5 Gal. Super Patch

If you’re not trying to seal your driveway and actually patch a pothole this material is so easy to use and work with it’s amazing God willing it will last. Did today time will tell

I used the patch to fill in an increasing gap between the top of my concrete driveway and the front edge of the garage floor. It served that purpose very well.

I got this because it says it can handle traffic immediately. That's not true at all. I filled a whole 4 days ago and it is still tacky and is just now finally starting to harden. I gave it 3 stars because although it may not cure as fast as the company claims it does finally harden up and seems to work good. I would not recommend using this in high traffic areas. I wanted something that cured quickly so I could close my gate without the wheel sinking in to the asphalt. I had to leave my gate open while this cures which means I couldn't let my dogs out by themselves. So basically this stuff works just not even close to how fast they claim.

This product works as advertised. One thing I must say is that I learned how to use this product the hard way. Its a good thing their customer service is dependable. If you are buying this for the first time, please read this carefully: "Latex•ite® SUPER PATCH™ is easy to use. It is important to remember that Latex•ite® SUPER PATCH™ works on compaction and must have sidewalls to work properly. If it is put in a depression with no sidewalls, it will not work. We recommend square cutting the vertical sides of the crack or hole wing a chisel and remove all loose debris. Next sweep or blow out the pothole. Allow to dry. Fill the hole with Latex•ite® SUPER PATCH™ to a height of ½" above the area. (very important) Compact the hole using a tamper or heavy, flat item such as a cinder block. You may also put a piece of plywood over the area and drive over it with your car for maximum compaction. It is ready for traffic once it's been fully compacted. If you plan to seal over the repaired area, we recommend you wait 2 weeks prior to sealing. There are oils in the product and you can help speed up the cure rate by sprinkling sand or Portland cement over the repair. Remember, if the repaired area is not setting up, it's most likely because it has not been compacted enough. For deep repairs, tamp the bottom 3 inches, fill, tamp next 3 inches, etc. working your way up to the surface." i missed the part about adding 1/2 inch crown of stone mix on top of the layer, and it remained tacky and loose no matter how I tamped it down. Also, i didn't have portland cement available. Learn from my mistakes and hope you do a better job than I.

So I bought this to patch a deep hole in my driveway that just showed up. when I opened it, it looked moldy or like spiders had nested in there which was very off putting. I packed it in and tampered it down so we shall see how it goes.

I filled several driveway holes, about 1 inch deep by maybe 6 to 10 inch diameter. This patch does work. It is slow to thoroughly dry. After a week, the patch was tacky even though it was a dry hot week. This patch has small crushed rock and tar like compound. I overfilled the holes, and eventually it will wear flat, as it is in a traffic area. If needed, this is easy to use, just scoop out and tamp down with something heavy. For a big hole, just pour it out.

Lesson learned this product went down in 3 compacted layers with hand tamp. Clean cut edges and clean dry hole. There was a steel edge placed at the edge of the yard. The area was about 24" x 18" about 2"-3" deep. This required 3 buckets of material. 48 hrs of no rain. Well after 3 weeks this stuff was still not hard. I drove over it with a pickup truck and a x700 John Deere to help compact. One good heavy rain and the patch started to wash out what a waist of time effort and money. I am now trying Aquaphalt. Home Depot must a price problem on the mentioned Product it should be $50.00 for a 55lb bucket not $100.00. The Aquaphalt has been in 2 hours and is much more set than Super Patch was after 3 weeks. Good luck.

I used it to fill a 1/2-3/4 inch wide gap between asphalt and a french drain inserted in the middle of the drive. I backfilled the gap leaving 1 inch for the cold patch to fill in. I tamped it in, which was no small task because it sticks to everything but itself. I gave over a month for it to harden and then top coated it using the same brand (latex-ite) crack filler. By the time spring (now) came around it has completely washed out. The few areas it is still in place (4ft out of 40ft) it is still soft to the touch and pliable and will inevitably wash out with our spring rains (Maryland)

Worked as expected. Really easy to pour into the pothole. Applied it at 90 degrees and then another time at 70 degrees fahrenheit. It does take a few weeks to harden, but it is immediately ready for traffic. I used a square shovel to shape it and then drove over it with my car several times to flatten and compress it. Be aware that you probably need more than you think. I had estimated my repairs would take 5 of the 3.5 gal buckets, but it took 8. I ordered it online through The Home Depot and had it shipped to the store. Great service.

Very easy to apply, no mess, no problem in cleaning tools. One suggestion: To avoid particles from the newly added patch to scatter around, one needs to cover the fresh patch with the light layer of a sand. Once the sand is on the patch, it does not matter how long it takes to dry, and is ready for immediate use.
