Answer This Question
A:Â It is not good if it hardens. I know this because I had about 4 bags sitting around for about 2 years. They lose their oil and therefore their ability to form a cohesive bond over time. You could potentially mix it with new bags or just use the old bags where it is not going to get disturbed too much.

Shouldn't be called pot hole patch
It's like putting rocks and black dirt into the pot hole. Doesn't pack and stays loose. When I sealed the driveway it just pulled out and caused loose rocks in my sealer. I'm going to have to do the hassel of pulling it out and replacing it.

Works well
This stuff works great for me. I've had to make numerous smaller patches and cracks of 1-inch size in asphalt. I clean them thoroughly and tamp the material in well until it's just above level, then use the flat side of a sledge to compact it. This has worked well for me.
This finishes in a really black color which stands out against the weathered gray of my blacktop, but I don't mind. You may need to find ways to color it after the fact to blend better.
One thing to consider is that this stuff is made somewhat locally, so the quality can vary between manufacturers (note on the bag that the product names are licensed). The company that makes it here (Sakrete) is very good in general and this product has never disappointed for me.

Bought this Sakrete cold patch to fill voids in my asphalt driveway and I found it to be useless. followed the instructions carefully and compacted it as required but it won't stick together, it's like black gravel with black sand mixed in. I'll have to remove it and try another product.

Excellent product, probably the best for basic asphalt pothole repair.
I live in the country with a chip-seal surface on top of the road in front. The County re-surfaced it about 12 years ago and did a good job. However, the County does not maintain the road.
There was a small pothole developing in the chip-seal directly in front of my driveway, maybe about 12" long x 8" wide x 1 1/2" deep, max. I swept out the pothole real good and removed everything. Then I used a small hand-held garden trowel (small shovel) to fill the pothole slightly higher than the pothole. I next used a rubber mallet (like a sledge hammer) and carefully pounded down the BRAND NEW U.S. Cold Patch all around the edges, into the center, and all around.
1. The Cold Patch must be compressed into the hole. I think most guys probably just put the product in a little high (which is correct) and wait until various cars drive over the repair. That method also works, instead of using a rubber mallet to pound it in. I only had to do a very small job.
2. I have personally used U.S. Cold Patch in the past, and so have my neighbors, and it always works perfectly. The patches put in more than a decade ago are still in perfect shape.
3. You need to use NEW FRESH Cold Patch, not a 20 year old bag like I first tried to do. After a while the Cold Patch dries out and is no good. I realized this when I found my old bag of Cold Patch in my shed. No problem...a new bag was only about $20 dollars.
Excellent Product. Recommended.
