Abstract: A product and method for repairing holes and cracks in roads, parking lots, sidewalks and other similar surfaces using a mixture of powder coating (i.e. dry paint) and a filler. The first step is to obtain the powder coating material. Any suitable powder coating material may be used, however, it is preferable to use the excess or waste powder coating material obtained from a powder coating operation.

The mixture is cured by heating the mixture to the point where the powder coating melts and binds the powder coating with the filler and the surface needing repair. It may be cured before or after it is applied to the surface needing repair. After the mixture cures, the result is a high quality patched surface.
