Our professional grade BIG A Asphalt Crack Filler comes ready to use in 1 gallon, 5 gallon and 55 gallon containers and is a professional grade pourable, high performance, black, rubberized asphalt emulsion-based crack sealer. With special latex additives, our cold crack filler is designed to have a higher resistance to re-cracking and last longer than similar alternatives.
It is extremely important to repair cracks in your asphalt pavement year around to keep water, oils, and vegetation from getting into the cracks and causing further damage.
The problem is that many Home Owner and DIY (Do-It-Your-Selfer) does not have access to Professional Grade Crack Filler so they resort to "Big Box Hardware Store" products (Which are better than nothing) but not by much!
Even though the cheaper asphalt crack filler products are readily accessible to consumers, they simply do not last as long or work as good as the products that the Asphalt Driveway Repair professional uses. His products are purchased from a wholesale supply house that specializes in supplying professional products to Asphalt Repair Contractors.
At Asphalt Sealcoating Direct, we specialize in supplying Professional Grade Products like our Driveway Asphalt Crack Filler to the professional but also to the consumer because we know and understand that some of you want to perform your own Asphalt Driveway Repair.
It's not difficult to repair cracks with our Cold Asphalt Crack Filler but the preparation is very important. First and foremost make sure the crack is clean and dry. The prepared crack should be no deeper than 1/2" and it will need pre-filling with sand or Backer Rod before the crack filling process begins.
This product is ideal for filling cracks up to ½" wide in any asphalt or concrete surface. It dries to a black rubber-hard consistency, providing a crack-free, water-resistant surface prior to application of pavement sealer.
Application: Clean dust, dirt, or loose material from the cracks. Pour Asphalt Crack Filler into the crack slowly allowing the crack to completely fill but not overfilling.
Use a Crack Squeegee to clean off any excess crack filler flush with the surface.
Broadcasting dry sand over freshly sealed cracks is an option which will dull the shiny finish of the new crack filler.
Allow the new crack filler to dry, which could take 4 to 6 hours depending on the outdoor temperature.
Caution: Do not apply below 50 F. Do not use when rain is imminent. Do not use in cracks over ½" wide. (For cracks over ½" wide we recommend you use our Alligator Asphalt Compound.
No special tools are required when using our Cold Asphalt Crack Filler however a small investment in the proper Asphalt Tools will make your job much easier and deliver professional results.

*We also have 55 gallon drums and Pallets of 5 Gallon Buckets available.
We would like to take a quick moment to mention the lids on our single order buckets. If you order a handful of pails, we ship them in what we call "Super Buckets" which are a much higher quality bucket and lid compared to what you might be used to. These lids are on tight and might be difficult to remove without some guidance.
We recommend three methods to remove the lids:
1) The easiest is to purchase the bucket opener. You can add the opener with this product before you add-to-cart.
2) If you have two (2) channel lock pliers, you can use them to walk around the lid, using both to pry up a little at a time.
3) Cut slits in the side of the lid using a hacksaw every 4-5 inches apart, all the way around the lid to create tabs. Then using pliers or a flat head screwdriver, pry up each tab.
To make a long story short, 50lbs of material in a bucket that gets tossed around by ground drivers, caused a lot of damage claims on our end. We decided it made more sense for a customer to receive their order in-tact with a little lid frustration than get a bucket covered in material wrapped up in a plastic bag.
