HD Asphalt Recommended Installation Procedures for Pothole Repairs

1. Clean out the hole.
2. Remove loose stones and debris from the hole. HD Asphalt will adhere to clean asphalt.
3. Although HD Asphalt displaces water and maintains its tenacity to bond to old asphalt in wet conditions, it is important to remove excess water, especially in winter conditions due to possible ice build up underneath the surface.
4. REMEMBER: The better the compaction, the better the result.  Install and compact HD Asphalt.  Shovel or pour HD Asphalt in sufficient quantity to fill the hole in 2” (5cm) lifts. Compact the material before adding additional material.
5. Over-fill the hole to create 1/2” (1cm) crown to allow traffic to further compact the hole in some soil conditions.

HD Asphalt Recommended Installation Procedures for Concrete or Bituminous Surfaces

1. Clean out the pothole or area to be repaired.
2. Remove all loose debris, clean and square the edges, if possible.
3. Larger potholes, or utility cuts, should be filled in no more than 2” (5cm) lifts, using HD Asphalt, available in bulk or in convenient 50 lbs. (22.7kg) containers.
4. Compaction of each 2” (5cm) lift of HD is highly recommended.  In some soil conditions, it may be necessary to place sufficient material to form a 1/2” (1cm) crown to allow for latent compaction by traffic.
5. In soft sub-base conditions, settlement may occur and additional HP Asphalt can be added later to bring the repair to level with the existing pavement surface.
