Default Patch for asphalt drive

Anyone ever patch a drive to fix a very shallow depression? Just in
front of our garage door, the drive has sunk a small amount (not more
than an inch or two) and water collects there. Cold patches seem to be
for deeper holes. Is there a way I can fill this 4x2 ft depression?


There is a product call "leveling patch paste" here in Canada by
ResistOSeal but it is for 3/8 to 3/4 in. crack. For bigger crack like 1
in. it can be mixed with sand and water. Anyway it is a lot more expensive
than cold patch which you should use anyway with a wet pestle or a
sledgehammer. It will look smoother and a lot better if you finish it with
the leveling patch paste.

For clarification, the instruction on the bucket is not very clear. It will
work on smaller spot less than 3/8 in.. I will finish the job I began last
year and I will fill the little spots with this paste made by a motorcycle
stand for example and also to smooth the reparation made with the cold
patch. Then I will try to find a sealer dark enough to hide the reparation
made on the driveway.
