Application Procedure for Alligator Cracks

Alligator cracks are a series of cracks in close proximity over a given area - like a spider’s web.

This patching method will be used where the stone in the black top is present, but the emulsion has pulled away and is about 1/8”-1/4” below stone This type of filling is used only on areas where traffic would be driving straight over patch and not turning a great deal.

This patch will be thin but long lasting when applied properly.

Estimate material needed and assess the situation for proper fill of area.

Begin by removing sand and debris from area of repair.

Clean visible grease and oil from surface.

Using liquid bladder, pour liquid directly from bladder onto surface, using a squeegee to distribute evenly over repair area.

Now sprinkle aggregate over the top to completely cover liquid, and to activate the hardening process.

Excess aggregate may be swept from area after curing.

If needed, continue this process in surrounding areas, until product is used up, or recap liquid bladder, and close aggregate bag to keep for future use.

Any remaining liquid and aggregate must be used in this manner.

Product initially comes proportioned for successful pothole filling.

Using partial amounts, as in dealing with alligator cracks, causes the ratios to be unbalanced. It will not be successful for pothole filling.
