Frequently Asked Questions

What specialty equipment or training is required for installation?

There is no specialized equipment required to install American Road Patch, and no specific training is needed, but a tamper is highly recommended.

Will American Road Patch stand up against a snow plow?

American Road Patch has been installed on pavements throughout the US, performing through multiple seasons, freeze-thaw cycles, ice, and snow. When specific guidelines and instructions are followed, we have not seen snow plows dislodge the patches. American Road Patch is not indestructible but is incredibly durable when applied properly.

What is the recommended fill material?

American Road Patch works well with hot asphalt and all types of cold patch products.

How long must the roadway be closed after installation of American Road Patch?

The roadway can be opened to traffic immediately after installation. Traffic enhances the embedment of American Road Patch because it is designed to become part of the pavement.

As the temperatures start to cool across most of the United States, now is the perfect time to get ahead of winter road damage. Freeze–thaw cycles, snowplows, and de-icing chemicals are just around the corner — and they’re some of the toughest challenges for road surfaces.

That’s why it’s smart to make your American Road Patch repairs before the first snow hits.

ARP bonds tightly, sealing out water and debris so your repairs don’t break down under traffic or winter weather.

What If You Wait Too Long?

Maybe winter crept up faster than expected. The good news? It’s still possible to use ARP in cold weather.

Here’s how:

Apply a conventional fill material as usual.

Peel off the protective layer on ARP to expose the self-adhesive surface.

Stick it directly over the repair and tamp it down.

If it’s too cold for proper adhesion, simply warm the area with a torch or machine before application.

That extra step allows ARP to bond securely — even when the temperature drops.


Best Practice vs. Backup Plan

Best: Apply ARP now, before pavement temps drop. This is the easiest window for lasting repairs. No torch, no extra equipment. Just a simple application that locks in strength to withstand snowplows and winter weather.

Still Works: If you’re already in winter, heat the area with a torch or machine before application. ARP is designed with a strength layer, but remains flexible and is easy to work with regardless of the season.
