This is an amazing starter package for entrepreneurs and contractors who want to get into crackfilling. The RY10 melter applicator and the half pallet of rubberized crackfill (36 boxes) will let you repair over 7,200 linear feet of 1/2" cracks, just with the included crackfill!
If you have your own business or large property with an asphalt parking lot or driveway, you can get this package so you can do your own crack repairs. Using rubberized crack filler creates a sturdy repair for your asphalt cracks that will last for years. The RY10 machine is easy to use and easy to maintain since you don't need to clean or move the crack filler out of the RY10. If you're in a neighborhood where many of the other homeowners have asphalt driveways, you can have a group pitch in and share the crack filling machine and 36 boxes of crack filler.

It's good to clean it out completely after 5 uses; otherwise there is a possibility of charring rubber in areas where there may be multiple layers of rubber built up.
To clean it, heat it up and scrape it out with a scraper on a broom handle. Then start fresh with a brand new box of crackfill.
You can fill cracks as long as the pavement is 40°F or warmer. If it is colder but you need to fill cracks, use a heat lance to heat the pavement up before you apply it.
The best temperature for heating your material to is 380 - 400°F (193 - 204°C) ; any higher than 400°F may severely damage product. Prolonged heating can also damage the product - heat it only when you are ready to apply it.
Our crack filler has a shelf life of 10 years unopened. It's why so many of our customers choose to take advantage our half-pallet and pallet offerings: the savings are so high it is worth storing them until you need them. It can be stored outside; just cover it with weather-resistant pallet wrap and keep it out of the sun.
Absolutely! You just have to heat it up again when you are ready to use it.
As soon as the crackfiller comes down to ambient temperature - sometimes as soon as 30-45 minutes when it is hot, and more quickly in cooler temperatures. Test with a stick: if you push down on the crackfiller and the crackfill doesn't tack to the stick, you're good to drive on it.
Whether you used liquid cold-pour crack filler or rubberized hot-pour crack filler, it is best to let the product dry completely before applying sealer. Depending on ambient and surface temperatures, the actual drying time of the crack fill can vary. We usually recommend allowing crack fill to dry for 24 to 48 hours before applying sealer.
It is best to use silica sand. Silica sand is basically 99% to 99.5% silicon dioxide, meaning, it is pure, more stable, and is resistant to acid. Regular sand, on the other hand, contains a lot of impurities such as a mix of feldspar and other oxide minerals with very low silica content.
