You might try putting a steel plate or thick plywood sheet over the
patch and driving your car or truck(heavier the better) over it to
compress the patch.You'll get more pressure that way.

Just how much pressure do you think a car or truck tire exerts?


a lot more than what a person can put on the patch,even with a tamper.


1/4 of the vehicles weight?


More if it's a front wheel drive auto,they generally have a 60-40 weight
distibution.


It's simply a version of a steamroller.
