APPLICATION
STEP 1
Clean the hole of any debris and remove any loose pieces around the hole(and if possible give yourself a vertical edge around the hole for the Bitumend® Cold mix to butt up against – it lengthens the life of the repair).
STEP 2
Fill the hole with Bitumend® Coldmix. Form a crown by making the middle slightly higher than the sides. Depending on the size of the repair give yourself a 5-10cm crown. This counteracts the subsidence caused by compacting.
STEP 3
Compact – A compactor is recommended for larger holes. Otherwise driving back and forth over it in a vehicle(e.g 4×4) is also very effective. You can also use timber posts to compact the cold mix on smaller holes.
Coverage
The depth of the hole should be between 3cm and 5cm.
