Best asphalt repair?

I had a gas canister that had a small leak on my asphalt driveway. It was there for maybe 12 hours but ate through a section of asphalt. What is the best repair method for this situation? I dug out the loose asphalt and a few inches around it, making a hole that is about 8"x6" and 3.5" deep. My initial plan was to add gravel to match the base level of the surrounding area and cold patch it. I've always read mixed reviews about cold patch, and, given the size of the area, I wanted to know if there is a better option in this situation. submitted by /u/BLOATYtheHOG [link] [comments]
