The new layer will then bond more easily to the surface below. Essentially, there are three grades of cold-lay tarmac. A 3mm grade of smallest aggregate (as in Permanent Pothole Repair, also known as PPR) a 6mm grade of aggregate and a 10mm grade containing larger aggregate.

There are other makes that come with a cold bitumen sealant, also known as a tarmac repair kit. With these you ideally need to square off the area to be patched and dig down until you get to firm ground. Then you apply the sealant to the bottom and sides of the area to be patched. And then you put the contents of the bag into the hole and flatten down with a spade. The cold bitumen sealant seals the bottom and sides of the hole after you patch it.
