DIY: How to fix a pothole without spending too much $$$

We own a small business and had some potholes that needed to be repaired. Slurry coating the entire parking lot would be well over a few thousand, and we didn't really have the means or the time to hire someone to do it.

We went to our local Lowes home improvement store and picked up a few bags of QPR, or Quality Pavement Repair. It's a permanent pavement repair system and it's a cold application, no heavy machinery necessary. Just pour, tamp (compress) into the ground, and walk away.

I ran into a QPR representative named Mike Lawrence while at Lowes and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He gave me a few tips and also asked for my opinion on the product. I told him I was very glad to have found out about QPR.

Some smaller home improvement stores sell a similar product, but a 35 lb. bag there goes for 20$, when QPR is a 50 lb. bag and goes for 13$. The Tamper tool is around 17$, and although it's very light weight, it's very durable and sturdy. It is made of composite or aluminum. The ones I've seen online are upwards of $30 and wood (imagine getting a splinter!).

We bought some old dust covered bags that were sitting there for ages, but once out of the bag, the product just melted into the holes. Very malleable and easy to work with. My dad just turned 70 and he's doin' all the work!

QPR was easy to use and saved us tons of dough$, I highly recommend this to anybody who owns a business or home. Heck, if you have a sweet ride with low profile tires and keep bending them on the same pothole, QPR will fix er' right up!

Check them out online at www.QPRColdPatch.com or see their YouTube Page at QPR Road Shop. There are tons of tutorials there.
