Oh, the patch is falling out inside a month, but it won't be repaired within six months, more like a couple of years.
The roads in my town are an abomination, a pish take, like the council are deliberately doing it to drive motorists insane.
There are about six major road projects going on in a five mile radius, and the dozens of times a week I pass by them there is rarely more than a couple of people on site doing anything.

They're all over the place in my town, grooves, loose gravel, and wierd shaped holes. It's scary riding a motorcycle, so I can't imagine what skinny bicycle tyres are like.

The basic basis of asphalt from bitumen has not disappeared anywhere. Advanced formulas include grafted rubber-like thermoplastic polymers. The long molecules of synthetic rubbers eliminate softening in hot weather and cracking in winter. Billions of old PET polymer bottles can also be grafted and melted in bitumen.

Used to see it done with a metal watering can heated up over a flame, is that still a thing? ive a few wide cracks in some concrete that want filling so thought that might be a solution for me

MS sealant, for cracks in concrete, works well. Compensates for temperature, excellent adhesion. Expand cracks with a diamond disc, remove dust, dry concrete.

Yes. Metal watering can. Get the stuff nice a hot...then let it cool a bit..then pour...give it a few minutes then go over it again until its full...and just a warning do not mix or get any water near hot bitumen...it has a chemical reaction and its a nasty one

Just a safty note guys..if you are working with band sealing bitumen..make sure you don't get any water in it while it's hot...it has a bad chemical reaction that if your not aware of it will cause serious burns to skin. Eyes ect....ppe a must...
