Alligator cracks and shallow holes can happen to any asphalt, especially in high-stress areas. Asphalt maintenance clients cannot always shut down an area of their operation for days. With Gator Patch, clients get a durable repair without excessive downtime.
Each bucket of alligator patch covers up to 150 linear feet of half-inch cracks. It’s easy for crews to apply and quick for clients needing to reopen. Given even a little experience, every alligator patch comes out professional grade.
To apply an alligator patch, asphalt maintenance crews must clean out the cracks as much as is reasonable. Then the Gator Patch must be mixed according to the instructions. Teams then use squeegees to get a flush patch for the repair.
How to Know if You Can Patch Over Oil Spots – The Key Test
Before applying Gator Patch over oil-stained areas, you need to make sure the surface has enough integrity to hold the patch. Saturated oil spots can prevent bonding, which leads to patch failure. Use this simple field test before you start:
The Key Test
- Press a key or screwdriver into the oil-stained surface.
- If it sinks in or crumbles: That spot is too soft and must be cut out and replaced with a full-depth asphalt patch.
- If it stays solid: Clean the surface thoroughly with a hot water pressure washer or asphalt degreaser, then apply a bonding primer like Oxi-Bond before patching.
This test helps you avoid wasted material and ensures the Gator Patch forms a strong, long-lasting bond—even over areas that once had oil or grease contamination.
Once applied, this alligator patch sets up almost immediately. In many cases, the area can reopen within two to four hours to light traffic while the patch continues to cure. The complete curing process typically requires 50-degree temperatures and no precipitation for 48 hours.
Alligator patch is a reasonable choice for many situations, and in some cases, may outperform regular crack filler. Since it is applied with a squeegee, crews do not need to traverse the same parking lot area multiple times.

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.
