Seal Damaged Areas Before Potholes Form

Alligator cracking is a warning sign that water is getting into your base. Apply gator pave to bridge those fatigue cracks, create a tight bond and add years of life. This material levels the surface, keeps moisture out, and can be sealed for a uniform finish.

What This Repair Does Best

Designed for skin-deep fatigue cracking, it fills interconnected cracks and reinforces the surface so traffic and weather do less harm. Used early, it stops failures from spreading. After cure, apply a compatible sealer to blend repairs. See our Guide to Sealcoating Asphalt for a clean finish.

HOW TO FIX ALLIGATOR CRACKS ON ASPHALT SURFACES | GATOR PATCH APPLICATION GUIDE

Simple, Job-Site Friendly Application

  1. Clean with a stiff broom and blower so dust and grit do not block bonding.
  2. Squeegee a thin coat, working the material across and against the crack pattern. Keep edges smooth where the patch coating meets the drive.
  3. Let it dry. Add a second thin coat to top up low spots, then allow full cure before sealing the area.

If the surface is oxidized and chalky, use a primer so gator pave adheres. Avoid pressure-washing right before repair unless you can allow complete dry-out.

When Not To Use It

If you see loose base stone or the area pumps, you are beyond a surface repair. Follow our Asphalt Patching Guide for proper cut-out or patch options instead of a surface treatment.

Coverage, Cure, and Storage Basics

Thin coats cure faster. Warm, dry conditions help; cool temps slow cure. Do not apply if temps will fall below 50 °F. Protect from freezing and reseal tightly. Store pails indoors and mix briefly before use to maintain consistency. Avoid rain; allow at least twenty four hours of dry weather.

Tools That Make The Job Easier

A 24 inch neoprene squeegee spreads evenly and leaves clean edges. Clean tools with water while wet. For a ready bundle, see the Gator Patch Repair Kit. After cure, finish with a quality sealer.
