Up to 240 square feet of alligator asphalt patching to fill in gator cracks.
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:
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 20 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.
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.

At that temperature, expect it to dry in 3-4 hours. It will continue to cure for another 24-48 hours, after which time you can sealcoat over it to help with durability.
Gator Patch is just a patch, not a resurfacer. It is designed to patch areas with cracks up to 1" deep. You would save money if you use Gator Patch on alligator cracks then sealcoat everywhere else.
You can put them down in either order; however if you put the Gator Patch down first and then sealcoat over top of it for a more uniform finish.
It's like peanut butter on toast: you want a layer that covers pavement and seeps into the cracks, but not so thick that it's all Gator Patch and no pavement. The longer your strokes, the more visually appealing it will be when it dries. Use a hard trowel or a stiff squeegee to smooth it on evenly.
Rubberized Hot Pour Filler is a better solution for this problem because it has better expansion properties due to its higher rubber content. Rubber crack filler will expand and contract with heat and cold; Gator Patch does not have the same flexibility, so using it to fill cracks could allow moisture to seep into your asphalt's foundation.

If your pavement is extremely oxidized (meaning it is no longer black and is instead quite grey) it will need to be primed so that the gator patch sticks properly. If it's just regular black pavement, not too oxidized, then no bonding agent is needed.
Usually, you can keep unopened Gator Patch up to 2 years. After that long of a period, you have to mix it thoroughly. Ideally, store the Gator Patch around 50°F and not below 32°F as the product would freeze and would be no good.
