What Is Alligator Patch?
Alligator Patch, also known as the Gator Patch, is a semisolid asphalt patching product used to seal narrow and shallow cracks and joints. It can also be used to cover shallow depressions in asphalt pavement. You can use this to patch cracks with a width of up to 20 mm.
This product creates a smooth finish after application. It is applied using a simple trowel and left to dry and cure completely before the pavement can be used again.
Alligator cracks are just the beginning of the end of your asphalt pavement. That's why it's crucial to have them repaired before the cracks widen and the pavement's foundation deteriorates further. With Alligator Patch, you can rescue the cracked area and ensure that it will last a long, long time.
Each pail weighs 30 lbs. That's 720 lbs for the half-pallet and 1440 lbs for the full-pallet.

Alligator Patch is ready to use right out of the bucket; no thinning or dilution is required.
1. Clean the cracked area with a 16" wire street broom to remove loose asphalt, weeds, rocks, and other debris.
2. Uproot any stubborn weeds or use a heat lance to remove them. Use a leaf blower to get rid of dust and leaves.
3. Put enough Alligator Patch into the cracked area, and spread it all over using a trowel. Dip the trowel in a bucket of water frequently to keep it wet.
4. Patching a crack deeper than an inch? We recommend that you mix equal parts of clean aggregate and Alligator Patch. Add water until the mixture resembles the consistency of the original Alligator Patch.
5. Level the area with the trowel, making sure to leave a smooth surface.
6. Block off the area with traffic cones and an attention ribbon. Let it dry and cure for at least 24 hours before allowing the driveway and parking lot to be used again. Repeat the process if needed.
7. Use water to clean the damp trowel. You can also use petroleum-based solvents to get rid of dried Alligator Patch on tools.
8. Apply asphalt emulsion sealer after the area has cured completely.
