Apply a tack coat (bitumen emulsion) to the edges of the repair area for better adhesion, if desired. 4. Pour the Cold Mix Bitumen into the pothole or repair area, slightly overfilling it. 5. Rake and level the mix evenly. 6. Compact the material using a tamper, roller, or even a vehicle tire until firm. 7. The repaired area can be opened to traffic immediately after compaction.
