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.
Larger pieces of concrete or asphalt may
be placed in bottom of hole to help fill space
and reduce product amount.
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.
