Up to 480 sq ft of alligator patching for contractors to have on hand for repairing gator cracks.
Fix tricky cracks the right way
Alligator cracks are a hazard for even the most carefully monitored asphalt surfaces. Gator Patch is the best solution for many cracks in a small area available. Choosing the full pallet option is the best deal available for this in-demand service.
Each pail of Gator Patch:
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.
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 as they would with a hot asphalt pourer.

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.
