Once the asphalt patch has been applied and allowed to cool completely, it’s time to apply a topcoat. First, thoroughly clean the surface of the patch with a broom or brush to remove any loose debris or dust. This will ensure a better bond between the topcoat and the patch.
Next, apply a thin, even layer of topcoat over the patch using a squeegee or trowel. Carefully spread the topcoat evenly, filling in any cracks or gaps in the patch. Allow the topcoat to dry for approximately 30 minutes, or as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
For added durability, you can apply a second coat of topcoat. This step is especially important if the patch is in a high-traffic area or subject to heavy wear and tear. Allow the second coat to dry completely, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
By following these steps, you can effectively apply a topcoat to finish your asphalt repair, ensuring a durable and long-lasting solution.
