Road Rescue cold patch for asphalt driveway...??

I have two 3 x 3 by 2 inch deep depressions (not pot holes) in our drive that were the result of a tree being taken out, stump ground up and new asphalt laid down by licensed contractor, years ago. I think the ground up roots finally settled and the asphalt dropped accordingly. The depressions showed up 3 months ago.

I bought 4 bags of Road Rescue cold patch knowing nothing about this or asphalt repair. Supposedly, it will cure right after being put down and I can compact with my car and a board over the cold patch. Am I on a fool's errand?

I thought I would use a propane torch to heat up the depressions before Road Rescue goes on. Driveway has not be seal coated in 6 years and I will have a licensed outfit do this for me in a month or two.

Help, please

 

Cold patch does not work good for depressions, that material needs physical support, like a pot hole, to hold the material in place. Without that it's going to just break up and fall out of the depression!

 

Send a picture. You need to break out the depression and fill in the void with new stone. Then add your patch. But be forewarned DIY patch will not hold permanently or will be as good as a hot patch applied by a professional.

 

Too inept to attach a picture. It went down a month ago and has held up fine....so far. Used one 50# bag on one depression, added an inch or more above level and drove over it in two directions for 10 minutes.

 

Update.........Has held up very well. You might consider trying this.
