Can this product be used on sloped driveways or only flat surfaces? Yes, with proper compaction the patch will hold on slopes.

When applying a surface patch on a slope start by clearing loose debris and any vegetation, then roughen the existing surface with a stiff broom or wire brush to promote bonding. Ensure water drains away from the patch area while it sets so moisture does not undermine the bond; if the slope channels water directly over the repair, consider temporarily diverting flow with sandbags or boards. Compacting in thin, even lifts is critical on an incline, so place material in layers no thicker than one inch and compact each layer with a hand tamper or heavy rubber mallet until it is firm and does not deform under moderate pressure. Use a stiffer mix if the manufacturer provides options, because higher stiffness resists shear on the slope while flexible mixes may sag before curing. Feather the edges by working the material from the high side toward the low side to avoid creating ridges that trap water or create trip hazards. Allow full curing time specified by the product and keep vehicles or foot traffic off the repaired area until the patch reaches the recommended strength.

Common mistakes are placing too much material at once which leads to poor compaction and slipping on the slope, so apply in shallow layers and compact each one. Another frequent issue is leaving the surface too wet or allowing runoff to wash the patch during curing, so control water with temporary diversions and begin work during a forecast window of dry weather. A third problem is failing to roughen or clean the existing surface which prevents bonding, so always remove loose material, oil, and vegetation and then abrade the surface to a uniformly rough texture before placing patch material.
