LiquidPotholeFiller.com - How To Use 4Seasons

Alligator Cracks Alligator cracks are a series of cracks in close proximity over a given area - like a spider’s web. This patching method will be used where the stone in the black top is present, but the emulsion has pulled away and is about 1/8”- 1/4” below stone. This patch will be thin but long lasting when applied properly. Again, estimate material needed and assess the situation for proper fill of area. • Begin by removing sand and debris from area of repair by power washing. • *Wash any trace of calcium chloride, and other de-icers, visible grease and oil from surface. • Dry area with leaf blower to ensure all water is removed from surface and area is completely dry. • Prime the entire DRY repair area (both cement AND asphalt) with 4Seasons™ HP Primer, covering entire repair surface. • Mix liquid and aggregate in pail according to directions on pail. Pour product over pre-PRIMED repair surface, using trowel or squeegee to cover entire area, ensuring that all cracks are filled with product.

4Seasons™ can be used for cracks ranging from ½” on up. Estimate material needed and assess the situation for proper fill of area. • Remove sand and debris from repair area. • *Wash any trace of calcium chloride, and other de-icers, visible grease and oil from surface. • For best results, prime cement repair area with 4Seasons™ HP Primer. • If the crack is narrow you will need to reduce the amount of aggregate that you add to the liquid in order to achieve a product thin enough to pour and penetrate deep into the crack. In this situation, mixing 4Seasons™ in a smaller container like a 5 quart pail will work just fine. • Start by pouring 2” of liquid into pail. Mix in slowly, a small amount of aggregate to achieve a pour able consistency. • Pour into crack and level off, ensuring that good contact between the edge of the crack and the 4Seasons™ product has been made. • Any remaining liquid and aggregate must be used in like manner. • Product initially comes proportioned for successful pothole filling. Using partial amounts, as in dealing with larger cracks, causes the ratios to be unbalanced. It will not be successful for pothole filling.

Cracks To fill holes and repair spalded concrete with 4Seasons™, the procedures are the same as above. Estimate the material needed and assess the situation for proper fill of area. • Begin by removing sand and debris from area of repair by power washing. • *Wash any trace of calcium chloride, and other de-icers, visible grease and oil from surface. • Dry area with leaf blower to ensure all water is removed from surface and area is completely dry. • Prime the entire DRY repair area with 4Seasons™ HP Primer, covering entire repair surface. • Mix liquid and aggregate in pail and pour product into hole or crack, using cement trowel or disposable stick to level out and insure smooth surface.

Concrete 4Seasons™ can be used for non-level surfaces such as sidewalks that lift; where one edge may be ½”-3” above surrounding surface edge. • Estimate material amount needed. Assess the situation for proper fill of area. • Begin by removing sand and debris from area of repair by power washing. • *Wash any trace of calcium chloride, and other de-icers, visible grease and oil from surface. • Dry area with leaf blower to ensure all water is removed from surface and area is completely dry. • Prime the entire DRY repair area with 4Seasons™ HP Primer, covering entire repair surface. • Mix liquid and aggregate in pail. • Pour product into repair area. • Use cement trowel to ensure surface edge contact with product and smooth finish. If more product is needed to complete the repair, repeat application. 4Seasons™ will adhere to itself. If repair edge is open, with no adjacent pavement to hold repair material, form boards must be made from wood or similar substance wrapped in plastic to release from 4Seasons™ once repair is cured. Place wrapped form boards on edge of repair area and secure with stakes on outside of board. Use cement trowel to level poured product to boards and surrounding surfaces. Remove form boards immediately after 4Seasons™ begins to set up.

Non-Level Surfaces First step in filling any pothole is to estimate the size, and how much material is needed to fill the pothole. The entire contents of liquid and aggregate, when mixed as instructed, will yield 900 cu inches of filler. Lesser amounts may be portioned out for smaller repair needs. Use direct ratios: i.e. 50% liquid to 50% aggregate. Use a smaller disposable pail if partial mixing is required. Pail will not be reusable. Re-cap unused liquid and close aggregate bag for future use. If more product is needed to repair area, repeat application procedure. 4 Seasons will adhere to itself. Prepare the hole for the fill material. Sweep out loose debris, being careful to remove sand and gravel that is at the edge where product sealing must occur.

Sand is not recommended to fill hole, as product needs appropriate surface to adhere to. Clean visible grease and oil from surface. Next, prepare fill material according to instructions on box; pouring product into prepared hole; leveling product with stir stick or cement trowel if needed; assuring product is in good contact with the edge of the pothole. If repair edge is open, with no adjacent pavement to hold repair material, form boards must be made from wood or similar substance wrapped in plastic to release the form once product is cured. Place wrapped form boards on edge of repair area and secure with stakes on outside of board. Use cement trowel to level poured product to boards and surrounding surfaces. Remove form boards immediately after 4 Seasons begins to set up. Let the material set up and become firm before resuming traffic, usually between 40-60 minutes. Hotter climates will produce shorter working times. Colder or winter climates cause product to set up more slowly, although winter weather should not hamper the use or effectiveness of 4 Seasons.
