The Gator Patch Half Pallet (12 pails)
Fix cracks the durable way!
Alligator cracks happen on even the most well-maintained asphalt surface, and Gator Patch is the best way to patch them. Choosing the half pallet means not needing to restock on alligator asphalt patch solution for a while.
Each pail of Gator Patch:
- Fills alligator cracks and shallow holes in a single application
- Covers up to 150 linear feet of cracks or 80-100 sq. ft. for patching
- Provides a like-new finish
- Delays asphalt replacement
Alligator cracks and shallow holes are a problem, especially in high-traffic areas. Unfortunately, shutting down work for asphalt repairs is not always viable. Using Gator Patch, clients can be running again in under six hours with a repair that lasts years.
Each bucket of Gator Patch can cover 150 linear feet of half-inch alligator cracks or up to 80 to 100 sq. ft. for patching. That’s superior coverage for clients and easy application for crews. With very little expertise, every alligator asphalt patch can be a professional-grade patch.
To apply, crews should clean out the alligator cracks as much as possible. Then the Gator Patch requires mixing according to the instructions. This alligator asphalt patch is applied with squeegees instead of a machine to account for its viscosity.
How to Know if You Can Patch Over Oil Spots – The Key Test
Before applying Gator Patch over an oil-stained area, make sure the surface can hold the patch. Oil saturation can cause bonding failure, so this quick field test helps you know what you're dealing with:
The Key Test
- Press a key or screwdriver into the oil spot.
- If it sinks in or crumbles: The base is compromised. Remove and replace the area with a full-depth asphalt patch instead.
- If it stays solid: You're good to go. Just pressure wash with hot water or use a chemical degreaser to clean the spot, then apply a bonding primer like Oxi-Bond before patching.
This simple step helps avoid adhesion issues and ensures your repair holds strong—especially when oil is involved.
Once applied, Gator Patch needs between two and four hours of dry time in favorable conditions. Ideally, the day is not below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, nor does the forecast call for rain. Crews should cordon the area to prevent accidental traffic during the initial dry time.
Like many products, Gator Patch can be walked on well before it fully cures. Complete bonding and curing take up to 48 hours, depending on the environmental conditions. That’s better than regular crack filler in some situations.

Gator Patch is designed to fix alligator cracks on the pavement. To save money, apply Gator Patch only to the alligator-cracked areas, then sealcoat everywhere else for a uniform finish.
It is recommended to apply Gator Patch first, then apply the sealer. This adds additional protection and can extend the service life of the pavement.
Both coal tar emulsion sealers and asphalt-based sealers are compatible with cured Gator Patch.
Think of Gator Patch like peanut butter on toast. You want a smooth layer that covers the pavement and works down into the cracks, but not so thick that it’s all patch and no pavement.
For best results, apply multiple thin coats and let each coat dry before adding the next. Use a hard trowel or a stiff squeegee to spread it evenly across the surface.
Rubberized Hot Pour Filler is a better solution for this because it stays flexible due to its higher rubber content.
Rubber crack filler expands and contracts with heat and cold. Gator Patch does not have the same flexibility, so using it to fill linear cracks, especially working cracks, can cause the repair to fail and allow moisture and water to seep into the pavement’s foundation.
Yes, Gator Patch™ can be used to fill shallow depressions.
For depressions deeper than 1/4 inch, apply it in multiple thin coats, no more than 1/4 inch per coat, and allow each coat to dry thoroughly before adding the next.
Gator Patch is temperature-sensitive. When it is extremely hot, it reacts slower to cure as the humidity plays a major factor in the curing process. The heat also softens the gator film and tire marks will be present. After it cools down, the Gator Patch will harden.
Even with the hot weather, the Gator Patch will continue to absorb moisture from rain, and humidity for a short period of time.
We do not recommend applying the Gator Patch when there is a chance of rain as the asphalt will be wet and/or the temperature will be below 50°F.
Another factor is if the Gator Patch applied is thicker than the required specifications, it will also contribute to the slow cure time. It should be applied in multiple layers, as needed, to ensure that it dries and cures as quickly as possible.
