Repair Asphalt Alligator Cracks Easily
This simple alligator patch is an economic solution to heavily cracked asphalt. 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. Do not use 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.
Simply pour some of the product onto the cracked asphalt and spread it in 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 wide cracks (1/2"-wide or more), make sure the patch is flush with the surface. Use 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 also the same ingredient that we mix with aggregates to construct roads, parking lots, and driveways. It is 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 also added to stop the formation of mold and 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. This works even in low-lying areas and dips where water collects. It withstands water and extreme heat 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.
