Repair Asphalt Alligator Cracks Easily
This simple alligator patch is an economic solution to heavily cracked asphalt. With this product, you no longer have to resort to a complete asphalt overlay or full replacement for multiple cracks. This product also doesn't require any heavy equipment; all you need is a squeegee for application.
How to Apply Gator Patch
Gator Patch is a "patch", 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 Gator Patch when precipitation is in the forecast. Ditto 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: 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. Pour some of the repair material onto the cracked asphalt and spread it in using a squeegee.
Remember not to spread the Gator Patch too thick in one coat. Spread it in multiple layers. Otherwise, it will not always dry and cure out in a timely manner.
For wide cracks (1/2"-wide or more), make sure the patch is flush with the surface. You can do this 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.
What is Gator Patch made of?
Gator Patch is made from petroleum asphalt, clay, water, and quartz silica (sand).
Petroleum asphalt, Gator Patch's main ingredient, acts as a binder. It is the same ingredient that we mix with aggregates to construct roads, parking lots, and driveways. It is also an important component in making roof shingles, floor tiles, and irrigation linings.
Clay and water makes the patch spreadable, while sand adds to its volume. Biocide is added to stop the formation of mold. This component can also prolong Gator Patch's shelf life.
Protects Asphalt in All Climates
Once Gator Patch is cured, the patch seals the asphalt against water and chemicals. It withstands any weather condition 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 Gator Patch in direct sunlight. Do not store in temperatures over 100°F. Container must be closed when the product is not being used. Keep out of reach from children.

- Went on easy, sticks out like a sore thumb.I followed all the instructions. Waited more than 48 hours to seal the driveway but the gator patch sticks out real bad. My customer was very disappointed. Not sure how to fix it.
Response from store
Thanks for your review, Bob. The texture will always be different than that of the pavement because it doesn't have any aggregate in it. Sealcoating after patching not only fixes the 'sore thumb' issue but it also helps to preserve the patch so it lasts longer. Is that an option for your customer? - ExcellentBest patch filler
- 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 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.
