Outline

Hot-pour weather and overband
The page repeats the cool-weather window for hot rubberized sealant and the thin overband, so plows do not peel a ridge.
Cold-applied weather
Cold filler wants warm, dry weather. The page says hot-pour can go on cooler, down to about 40°F. Do not swap those windows.
Cure before traffic
Cold filler is given about a day. Hot-pour is given roughly 15 to 20 minutes of cooling. Those are the page's numbers. Confirm them on the product you are placing.
Severe cracking
A badly cracked area may need to be cut out and replaced with hot mix. The page offers GatorPave as a temporary surface treatment for alligator cracking, not as a structural rebuild.
Program, not a one-time fill
The close says a repeating program of crack filling and sealcoating is what extends the pavement. One visit is not the program.
