- Potholes in the driveway are not only an eye sore, but they can also do damage to your vehicle. In this DIY, XO repairs some driveway potholes with Builders cold tar mix. Once you know the basics, you’ll have that pothole covered and have your driveway looking great in no time.
Very clear, down to the point, fast explanation without any unnecessary words while having everything necessary.
This man is great, he's accent sounds like Jamaican-Australian
His South African, incase you wondering .
Naw, he's a Saffie, for sure.
You are spot on 😂
Thank you Xo I’m running for mayor in my city. We have major pothole repair to do. I’ll be mostly doing it myself. Your videos will help me a lot.
Bruh did it work
@@keeganlewis7257 no. he fell in, cant climb out and will not be able to respond
How do I tag the whole country in this comment? I think we're going to have to fix our country's problems ourselves from now on
That's why I'm here. Pothole right next to my driveway on the road from a water line breaking underground. They ain't bout to fix it anytime soon. So I'ma have to do it.
Awesome! I finally have an idea of how to fix the potholes at work.
XO is the man. I'm gonna give this a shot.
It helped me fixed my potholes thanks Big Dawg🤝🔥
When sweeping up after repair use the old dust and brush it on top of the patch to blend it in !!
Enjoying the videos 👍
Great video dude. Helped me loads. Tho keeping it warm outside in England this time of year will be hard.
Love the demo, but, you really should wear garden or similar gloves when removing old tar (at all times through the process, actually!), as there can be unexpectedly sharp objects embedded in them (e.g., in my handyman career, I've found glass, can tops, nails, et al.). Love the tip about letting the asphalt sit in the sun (n.b., a blowtorch used gently over the cleaned hole, before adding the asphalt, helps, too, but, is not necessary, and can be dangerous for those not accustomed to working with torches, and, of course, it adds to the expense). Avoid sealcoating small areas, alone, as it will not work as well as coating the entire driveway. Also, if you don't have a stamper, a 3-5 pound sledgehammer works just as well, though, of course, it'll take more time (since I rarely fix potholes, I don't have a stamper, and wouldn't have a place to put it, if I did!). Do not use the back of a shovel, as you'll never get the even and heavy pressure needed to tamp the asphalt; also, don't bother running your car over it: You'll ruin all the work by pushing the asphalt out of the holes, not to mention getting the stuff on your tires, because, surprisingly, the distributed weight of the car isn't as good as the sledgehammer or stamper!
Dude is so likable
What a champion
great video
Fantastic 👍
Great video what are your thoughts about putting driveway-sealer down first and then putting the driveway patch on top of that and then 24 hours later putting driveway sealer over that ?
Love the accent bro
What to do to get it the same color as the old asphalt? it stands out now.
well....do you put anything to put on the cold tar mix?
I have the perfect solution for potholes. My dad gave me this recipe before he passed away. He worked for an American company and it was way back in the 70's and 80's , you can still drive on those roads until this day...there will appear a pothole in some other part of the road but never on that part where it's been fixed. Unfortunately: I am a woman and I am South African, so I wont get the contract to do it...sad, very sad!
If it's not a secret, can you reveal how to do this. I have a drive way 900 foot long. It is costing me a some fortune to keep up over the years. Thanks in advance!

Great for South Africa. Won't work anywhere there are freezing winters. Even if you do it in the summer, it will heave out in winter.
Sometimes we hear it up with a blowtorch to bind.
Quality
im going to use this to fill in potholes that the city wont
Dimana belinya di indonesia ya
Western Cape government should watch this video
All the governments should. And I don't live in the Western Cape.
North West too...
WC? You ous have the best roads
I'm very impressed with this presenter. I bet he speaks like 5 or more languages 😐

What if the hole is wet?
Drink the water
Giggity
Blow it out
Rewatch the video.
All right!!!

Will it not melt in the sun after filling?
No it won’t. It’s just asphalt. You don’t know anything about asphalt. I do know everything about it.
Why do I feel like he does infomercials on the side?
he has not ra clue about anything ,he is just a paid actor so the company looks like theyre diverse
Asphalt components
Cold tarmac will 100% just break up and scatter within days.
Looks crap though
mmm diversity
Heavy accent or am I not used to non standard english pronounciation
no he is just a paid actor so hey look diverse
Good information. However, using the word "Tar" is not good as it refers to a "carinogenic" material that promotes the formation of cancer. Tar has been banned in South Africa. The correct word for the product appears on the bag: "Asphalt". Please stick to the correct product description.
I think the word you’re looking for is carcinogenic. Please stick to the correct description! 😂😂😂
@@trevoryates5486 Noted. Thanks for the correction! 😊🙃😉
Boring.
