Using a cheap filler will do that.
A better, plastics based filler will harden quicker and more permanently. Not only that, since the resins are pressure activated they stay somewhat pliable for years in the bag. I used this stuff at the Bethel Spring Series to patch up stuff. The patches there that look amateurish, that's me. Works under water (like in a water filled pothole), etc. Immediately ready for use, just sprinkle some sand on it to keep it from sticking to tires.
Bags are about $10 for the cheap stuff, about $22-24 for the good stuff. The good stuff I know is Perma Patch.
