DIRECTIONS FORAPPLICATION

SWEEP

Clear away loose debris, sand, leaves, etc. (you can leave the water). Instead of building a foundation for the repair, you're clearing one off.

EZ STREET® Asphalt will adhere to anything solid in the pothole, but if it's not fixed to the driveway, your repair won't be either. You'll know it's ready when there's nothing loose along the edges, or bottom of the pothole for the repair to stick to.

FILL

When opening the bag, be careful not to cause any more damage than necessary to pour the asphalt out. You may want to use the bag later for storage.

If the pothole is deeper than three inches, it's a good idea to fill in two inch layers, or "lifts", compacting each layer before adding the next, to increase the density of the foundational layers.

Fill the pothole to just over the level of the existing pavement. Then…

COMPACT

During compacting the repair, leave it slightly crowned above the roadway surface. As vehicles drive over the area, the material will continue to densify through what we call "secondary compaction," gradually settling flush with the surrounding pavement. The repair is ready for traffic immediately after installation.
