Its Short Term


Skin patching is not a permanent solution so don't expect the skin patching method to last you for years and years. Skin patching is more of an emergency fix meant to last you for just enough time while you figure out what to do. Skin patching is recommended to cover up alligator cracks or small pot holes right before they get any bigger and cause serious problems.




What Is Skin Patching?

The skin patch process, just as the name sounds, involves laying on a thinner skin of asphalt without milling or grinding down the underlying layer. It is used to build up low areas prior to applying an overlay or seal coat. It is also used to resolve water flow issues or to minimize ruts and uneven asphalt. Again, proper cleaning and preparation is the key to secure adhesion and the Allied crew is thoroughly trained on all aspects of prepping a surface for a new skin patch. Asphalt skin patching is an ideal solution if deterioration is caught early and does not involve the underlying base.
