The polyester fabric is impregnated with a second liquid acrylic adhesive. A fiberglass sheet is adhered to at least a portion of the second layer and to the paved surface beyond edges of the second layer to form a transition layer over the edges. Also disclosed is a system for repairing a crack in a paved surface.
