Default cold vs hot asphalt on small repairs

I agree with subsequent post that cold patch will deteriorate sooner

A cheaper way for a reasonable fix may be like I just did (if you live
in a small municipality): ask the roving local highway dept repair
crew for 1-2 (metal) pails full of hot asphalt, reheat asphalt at home
in a deep metal pan on the bbq grill, place and compact. Just make
sure to keep the asphalt from falling into the bbq.
