FAQs
What is the coverage rate of one cartridge?
Coverage varies based on crack width and depth. A 10.1 fl. oz. cartridge typically covers approximately 25 linear feet of a 1/4-inch wide by 1/2-inch deep crack.
Can this be used on concrete driveways?
No, this product is specifically formulated for asphalt surfaces and may not perform correctly or adhere properly to concrete.
How long does it take to cure?
Cure time depends on temperature and humidity. Generally, it is tack-free within a few hours and fully cures within 24-48 hours under optimal conditions (70°F/21°C).
Can I paint over the filler?
While the filler is designed to match red asphalt, painting over it is not recommended as it may affect adhesion and flexibility.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Unopened cartridges stored properly in a cool, dry place typically have a shelf life of 12-18 months.
Do I need a special tool to apply it?
You will need a standard, high-quality caulking gun for application. Ensure it is suitable for sealant cartridges.
Troubleshooting
Filler will not extrude from the cartridge.
Ensure the inner seal has been punctured and the caulking gun is properly engaged with the cartridge.
Poor adhesion or the filler peels away.
The surface was not adequately cleaned or dried before application. Remove the old filler and reapply to a clean, dry surface.
Filler remains tacky after application.
Applied in temperatures below the recommended range or applied too thickly. Ensure proper temperature conditions and apply in manageable layers if necessary.
Filler cracks after curing.
The asphalt may be experiencing extreme movement beyond the filler's flexibility, or the crack was too wide for a single application. Ensure proper temperature during application and consider if the crack requires a more robust solution.
