How to Fix Alligator Cracks with Gator Patch
Gator Patch is an asphalt patching product, not a crack sealant, and is temperature-sensitive as most asphalt emulsion-based formula products are. This easy repair process allows you to have your repaired areas traffic-ready in 2-4 hours, given favorable conditions. It is important to not use asphalt patch when precipitation is in the forecast, when the asphalt is wet, or when the temperature will be below 50°F.
Simply prepare your asphalt as you would for any other task, then remove any dirt and debris from the surface. We recommend using our Asphalt Crack Cleaner Machine, Billy Goat Grazor or Heat Lance to get the best results.
After ensuring the asphalt is clean and dry, you can begin to apply the Gator Patch. Simply mix/stir the patch as per instructions, then pour some of the product onto the cracked asphalt and spread it across the alligatored asphalt using a squeegee. Remember not to spread the Gator Patch too thick in one coat. It should be spread in multiple layers otherwise, it will not always dry and cure out in a timely manner.
For wider cracks (1/2"-wide or more), make sure the patch is flush with the surface by using a squeegee to remove the excess.
Weather and humidity play a tremendous role in the setup. Always check the constraints and procedures for applying our original Gator Patch.
Protects in All Climates
Once Gator Patch is cured, the patch seals the asphalt against water and chemicals—even in low-lying areas and dips where water collects. It withstands any climate once cured.
We recommend sealcoating the surface 48 hours after the Gator Patch installation for improved durability. This product is compatible with coal tar asphalt sealer and regular asphalt sealer.
Protect from freezing.
After Use: Wash squeegee and all used tools with soap and water. If product has dried on the tools, use a solvent.
To Store: Do not store this asphalt crack patch in direct sunlight. Do not store in temperatures over 100°F. Container must be closed when not using. Keep out of reach from children.

- We will continue to use it yearly with hope that the product will be improved to adhere better through developmentGator Patch has saved our parking lot from total deterioration. Although its adhering capabilites could be better, generally it holds the sections together until the freezing and thawing. It is a good value for the price and works better than other product.
- Good Product But Definitely NOT TrowelableI bought this to fix up some cracks and shallow depressions in my driveway. It did a great job BUT i had to use a squeegee to apply it. It is far too thin to stay on a trowel

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.
