It’s Bad In New England On The East Coast… Great Job Guys Nicely Done👍🏽
Thanks again Bigmo! It looks like there's a lot of opportunity there to offer alligatored asphalt repair and pothole repair. You can earn big this winter with our RY2X2 asphalt heater. Check out this video to learn more: ruclips.net/video/5NBKvky569g/видео.html
I did what you did and cracked again in a year. Then I tried GE Advanced Silicone has done a great job for my asphalt driveway. It’s hard to beat 100% flexible silicone.
I received the Gator patch. On the side of the 5 gallon can it is suggested to use tackcote primer binder before putting down the gator patch. your video does not use a primer. What do you suggest?
Thanks for the comment James, If you're asphalt is not that gray/old you can apply the Gator patch directly. Just make sure to prep the surface well.
Great Job Nicely Done Guys👍🏽Quetion Do You Guys Have A Location On The East Coast🤔 TIA

How long after gator patch before you can seal whole driveway? Do you use a oil base or latex sealer over gator patch?
Hi Judd. How long does the repair tend to last?
You can sealcoat when it the gator patch hardens. Usually a couple hours after. Just a light coat.
@chrisryan8863 depends on the repair but as a temporary patch solution it usually lasts a year or two but again depends on the severity of the deteriorated asphalt.
No prime coat? And did yall mix the stuff up in the bucket before hand? Looks like it would separate in a bucket like paint would over time.. and how do you blend it in to not look like a big obvious patch job?
That’s correct. No prime coat needed for gator patch or sealcoat. It is thick like mud and doesn’t separate. In regards to the big obvious patch, always best to sealcoat the complete parking lot or driveway surface after to make it all uniform and black.
How long after gator patch before you can seal whole driveway? Do you use a oil base or latex sealer over gator patch?
Recommended to wait about 24 hours before sealcoating with a water based sealcoat.
had drive ways sealed last year, but paver contractor used gator patch after sealing. Can i apply gator patch to areas he did not cover without resaling?
Hi there, the Gator Patch is designed for alligator cracked areas only. We don't recommend using it on asphalt without alligatored asphalt.
How long does this last? wouldnt it be better to treat the base by using an infrared patching technique?
Hi Hamad, thanks for the comment. Yes, that would be the best solution for heavily alligatored asphalt ruclips.net/video/5NBKvky569g/видео.html but if you are looking for an easy fix that would also accomplish the job the Gator patch is one of the best out there.
Looks really good. I would like to see what it looks like after it's been seal coated.
Me too
Looks really good? Really? After 2nd coat, I still see nasty cracks, need 3rd coat and probably 4th to have it smooth but then that's really defeating the purpose. That driveway they are on, look at it, the white line, and behind the guy applying, and to the left and to the right, it's beyond help, it needs to be repaved when it looks like that, and why a pallet (36) for $2150, $60 a bucket, for contractor, but (3) 5 gal. buckets is $550, $183 a bucket!!! for homeowner!! A little price gouging!! Lol 🤣
@@thomasschuldaski9968 I dont think the person applying it did a good job, he over worked it, and pulled it out of the cracks, you can see him do it. Also, not sure where you are getting your pricing, its $79.50/5gal.
onde comprar aqui no Brasil.
Can you use Gilsonite product with that Father&Son and Blacktop?
You can use the gator patch on any alligator cracked areas and then a light sealcoat over top yes.
Is this the same as the latix light trowel patch stuff but in a way bigger container? Looks very similar.
Thanks for reaching out @McGovern1981! We're not familiar with the product that you mentioned, but we'd be happy to provide more details or answer any other questions you might have about our Gator Patch.
That was interesting
How would I repair a dip in my blacktop drive ,it holds water?
I would appreciate it, thank you
The process typically involves cleaning the area, filling it with the right asphalt repair material, and ensuring proper leveling for water drainage. For a detailed guide on how to tackle this, I recommend checking out our article on spot repairs in asphalt pavements: blog.asphaltkingdom.com/spot-repair-in-asphalt-pavements
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask 🚀
Excellent review of " Aquaphalt 6.0 asphalt repair in this page.
My cracks are on an incline. Should I work from the bottom up or vice versa ? Will it run before drying ?
Strongly recommend starting at the top!
what if you have huge gaping holes with dirt showing? Will this product work for that? Thanks
This product is recommended for normal sized cracks (1/2" wide & 1/4" deep). If it's larger, you need to consider using hot rubber crack filler. In your case with dirt showing, a cut and patch might be necessary.
can you heat the patch up to speed up the drying time???
Not recommended. Better to let the gator patch cure in ambient temps.
He said use water for cleaning tools so is Gator Patch water based? If so, can I use an oil based sealer overtop once the Gator Patch is fully cured?
Great question. It is asphalt based with water added to the blend to make it malleable for application. It’s like a mud. You can apply a light dusting of oil based sealer when it’s 100% cured.
What is the Volume Solids percentage? What is the re-coat for sealcoating?
You should generally dilute your sealer 20% to 30%.
Why would I need to delute my sealer 20 to 30 percent?? Also, Apparently he couldn't answer the other question either, I'm confused. "What is the re-coat for sealcoating?" WTF does that mean?? Lol 🤣, and why do you want to know the volume solids percentage?? What are you a fucking scientist!! Lol 🤣
How many pails I would need to apply to a tennis court?
Great question! Depends on the square feet of the tennis court. Gator Patch is a great all-around asphalt patch that is ready to use right out of the pail. Get up to 20 square feet of coverage per gallon for alligatored areas, and up to 150 linear feet of 1/2" x 1/2" cracks.
How do you price a gator patch process because in your parking lots are full of gator cracks, so how do you price that you know you could elaborate that on that or actually do another video on how to do the pricing of that thank you
Fantastic question and generally you’re pricing at around $15 per sq foot for alligator cracks. It’s really designed to be a patch solution not designed for a whole driveway or parking lot. Small areas that are showing signs of extreme cracking are ideal to use gator patch on. Clean well with a wire broom and then gator away!
Does it last long in storage? If I used half the bucket and I want to save the rest for future use.
Great question. It will last a couple of months as long as long as it's sealed air tight.
@@AsphaltKingdomTy.
Here's the question: Doesn't this product dry/cure to a darker color than the remainder of the driveway assuming you're sealing the rest of the drive way? I had someone come and use a similarly named product and I could see all the areas patched with this product because the product dried darker than the other stuff. The only way I can think of is to do the entire driveway in this product to even out the driveway, then seal over it with another sealer?
Good morning and great question! The gator patch will cure as a smoother surface and be slightly darker than the rest of the surface due to its darker pigment of one coat of sealer is applied. You’ll get way more consistent results if two coats of sealer are applied. Also, the key is to solved the cracked problems so that water doesn’t get in and erode the foundation causing potholes and depressions leading to expensive repairs and an unsafe surface.
@@AsphaltKingdom So, the only way to get a uniform look without replacing all 2,000 SF of asphalt would be to use this product over the entire surface? Or is there a product that does dry the same color? It screws with my OCD when I can see the darker stripes underneath the seal coating.
@@dereksdiatribe We would never recommend applying gator patch across the whole surface. It’s designed for alligator cracked areas and that is all. You’re much better to take care of the cracked areas with this and have a slight difference in surface smoothness with light discoloration versus leaving the cracks open that would eventually come potholes that are unsafe and extremely expensive to repair and or a tremendous eyesore. The other option is to repave it but frankly the cost of doing that when you could do a small repair isn’t ideal in our opinion.
@@AsphaltKingdom couple of questions What would happen if we applied this to our whole driveway and where can this be purchased? Looking to fix driveway this summer. Also, would I still seal driveway after applying?
@@KingIanJ2 we would never recommend applying to the whole driveway. It’s a patch not a complete resurfacer. Yes, you can seal coat over it lightly afterwards - www.asphaltkingdom.com/gator-patch.html
Is it just for asphalt? I have crack cement
It would work for cement but it’s black in color.
Hello.
Do you have a distributor here in Argentina?
Thanks for reaching out! We don't have a distributor in Argentina but we are more than happy to process an order to your country. However, we will need the help of a freight forwarder.
It didn't look like it covered all the cracks. After the second coat, how many Coats you have to put down to fill all the cracks?
Good question! You need to apply as much as you can until the cracks are not visible.
How long between coats? An hour, a day, a week?
This really depends on the weather conditions outside. As an example, if in the hot summer, you could seal coat a second coat within a couple hours but if it’s cool in the high 50s and overcast, they could take a day or two before you do your second coat. The real key is to have the first coat completely dry before doing your second application. That’s why it’s good to spray your first code a little bit more thin as your primer code and then do your second application as your permanent final coat.
Excelent product
Thank you, Cesar! 🔥
how long do you wait to apply the second coat of gator patch and then how long can you seal coat after that?? Thank you!
Pablo, the wait will depend on the weather. The first thin coat of Gator Patch can dry in as little as a half hour.
We recommend sealcoating after 48 hours so the Gator Patch is fully cured. Please check out the details and FAQs on www.asphaltkingdom.com/gator-patch.html 😀
How does this do after a snowy winter? Anyone had any long-term experience with this product?
Good question! As long as the application process is correct and the product had time to cure properly, it should hold even after winter. You can check out the product page for more info about the product: www.asphaltkingdom.com/gator-patch.html
How many square feet does one bucket handle?
The Gator Patch provides coverage of up to 100 sq.ft per bucket.
Is this product stable enough for depression repair?
The Gator Patch is professionally formulated for alligatored cracks only. It can last up to 3 to 4 years with the right application and drying time. Learn more here:www.asphaltkingdom.com/gator-patch.html
Be careful with some rubber based fillers. I had several issues with car tires lifting the patch long after it cured.
can you sealcoat after it dries
Sure can but just a light dusting of sealer on the patched area.
Great product 👌
It really is! Thanks for the comment Terry.
I need some of this material
Excellent! Let’s get you setup!
You have reps in Ghana
Water still where to buy some for a test job
how long til you can put sealer over it?
As soon as it hardens up. Usually a couple hours.
How much would you price for alligator cracks?
Great question! You can charge $15 sq ft for gator patch. You could drop the sq ft price down if you had a lot of sq ft to service.
@@AsphaltKingdom hahaha at $15/sq.ft might as well just pay to get it resurfaced! 3000sq.ft driveway to resurface is around $5-7k...at your $15/sq.ft it would cost me $18k ... for that kind of cheddar I would just replace with cement
@@sabineb.84 absolutely correct. Gator Patch is for patching, not for complete resurfacing.
what I have found with other products, if done in warm weather for quicker drying, when ground cools like in winter the cracks reappear due to the contraction of asphalt, leaving cracks again. is this very elastic to allow for expansion , contraction of asphalt

No, it’s not that easy. How long do you gotta wait to seal it.??? and can you use dish mix with Gilsonite sealer going over it because I don’t use any water-based products father and son Blacktop
You’ll need to wait about 2 hours before sealing it.
What’s best to kill ants coming up through small ants wholes in driveway ?
There are various methods available to get rid of ants from your driveway, and they range from natural home remedies to commercial pest control products. Here are a couple that I'd go with:
Borax Bait: Mix equal parts of borax and a sweet substance like powdered sugar. Place the mixture near the ant holes. Ants are attracted to the sugar and will carry the lethal borax back to their colony.
Commercial Ant Baits and Insecticides: These can be purchased from your local garden or home improvement store. Just be sure to follow the instructions on the label for safety.
... so summary in a nutshell if you use this product you're going to have to expect imperfections on the color of your driveway after you sealcoat correct? Unfortunately, customers will be disappointed after when the driveway does not look uniform color wise. I understand the principle behind trying to repair alligator cracks but nowadays customers will be upset if the driveway does not have the same color results after.
The color tone will be the same once you sealcoat it. The texture will be different however because of the lack of aggregate. Homeowners who don’t repair the cracks will have the eye sore of cracks and also the pavement will be on fast track to deterioration as water will destroy the base leading to unsafe potholes and depressions that are tripping hazards and lead to liability challenges. Much better to proactively maintain and reactively repair as needed to keep it safe, prolong the life saving money and making it look better.
Another learning curve is when the customer says yeah I this company told me 1500 and that was way much but....... The truth is after the measurements and × the sq price it really come out to 2500 and that crafty little customer knows the price lol not every dollar is worth is!!!!🎉
Always want to make sure measurements are accurate and price is right too!
Back to Drawing Board,Boys !!!
Crush it!
I think I would start with a trowel to push the materials into the cracks-not seeing much down force with the squeegee!
You could do that as well but the squeegee works well as long as the cracks are cleaned out nice and clean.
And you're young and limber. you'll get pretty tired bending over that trowel.
looks like a glorified seal coat. Just a little thicker but if you're squeegying it on the effect is the same as seal coat. probably more expensive too
Good morning! The solids in gator patch are way higher providing the ability to seal cracks and small holes that sealer simply wouldn’t. Gator Patch is more of a mud like material with the binding agents that you find in both sealer and asphalt itself. You wouldn’t be able to repair alligator cracks with Sealcoat. You’d want gator patch for sure.
I have not used Gator Patch, but I can tell you that I have alligator areas and even using the highest quality sealcoating did not cover them up. Sure it looked better and probably reduced water intrusion. But not a patch.
As you can see.......
Thank you for your comment.
Gator patch vs hot rubber?
Paul Ozeruga gator patch has its place for application and so does hot rubber. If you have a dense area of cracks that look a lot like alligator skin, we recommend gator patch: Hot rubber is absolutely the beat for singular longitudinal cracks as the rubber will seal those better and definitely faster with a push melter and applicator machine - www.asphaltkingdom.com/crack-filling-equipment.html
Don't you have 2 grind out cracks
Recommend to use a wire broom or brush and clean out all the dirt in the cracks so when you apply the Gator Patch it Honda nicely.
@@AsphaltKingdom dont you have 2 grind them out thi
Short term bandaid
Prevention unsafe potholes and depressions leading to liability risks for the property owner.
As you can see this will last maybe one season...as you can see..!!
Thank you for the feedback!
as you can see..........
Yesssss!
Alligator cracks like you show are NOT caused simply by water intrusion or asphalt aging. There are caused by a weak base under the pavement. Asphalt is flexible, unlike concrete, but it’ll only bend so far before cracking. The only way to fix that situation is to remove the asphalt, strengthen the granular base and repave.
This would be an ideal permanent patch but is significantly more costly than a temporary patch.
@@AsphaltKingdom Your product seems to be prepared and applied like a sealant. It’s a very temporary repair at best. If the property owner does proper crack sealing as they happen then alligator cracking is much less likely (assuming a decent design and construction in the first place). Whether it’s a road, driveway or parking lot, a proper maintenance program needs to be in place to minimize cost and maximize performance.
That’s a bandaid
Yes, it’s a temporary repair not a permanent repair. Infrared or cut and patch is always best but way more costly.
Everything’s a bandaid.
If it extends the useful life if the driveway, it’s served its function.
yea aligator on hot surface ..lets talk about cold weather
Thanks for the comment! Gator patch works best on temperatures ranging from 50⁰F to 100⁰F. We created a Temperature Cheat Sheet to Know what the ideal job temperature is before applying your material. Learn more here: blog.asphaltkingdom.com/application-temperature-cheat-sheet
Take a photo of this patch a year later and you will see that you cannot repair alligator cracks this way.
As long as the proper application process is followed, the Gator Patch should last approximately 3-4 years.
Want to fix asphalt cracks, just fill it with old chewing gum, that stuff seem to last forever. Just joking
🤣
Just say no to crack.
100%
Where the hell is the finished product? Not a good video. Show it finalized man!
Finished product was right at the end. Did you miss it?
@@AsphaltKingdom are you talking about at 925? Cuz the thing was still wet and there was No close up shot. Also wasn't done with the top coat where we can see it finalized and dry.
Not impressed
Hard to impress everyone :-). What would impress you?
