Asphalt Pour Pots - Toolstash

Asphalt pour pots are purpose-built applicators for placing hot or cold crack sealant with speed, accuracy, and less mess. By controlling flow right at the crack, they help create uniform, overbanded joints that keep water out, extend pavement life, and reduce callbacks. Contractors and property managers use them for driveways, parking lots, walkways, and municipal pavement, where a clean bead and fast production matter. Compared to open-pail pouring, a pour pot minimizes waste, drips, and cleanup while delivering a professional finish that stands up to traffic and weather.

You’ll find compact 2–4 gallon hand-held pots for tight areas and patch work, as well as 5–10 gallon wheeled models for long linear cracks. Heavy-gauge steel bodies resist heat and abrasion, while heat-resistant handles and shields protect the operator. Anti-drip spouts and adjustable flow valves keep the bead consistent, and some units accept shoes/banders so you can apply and band in a single pass. Lids, stands, and wide-fill openings make transfer from a melter or kettle safer and faster. Many pour pots are rated for hot-applied crack fillers; others handle cold-pour sealants—always check temperature and material compatibility.

What to look for:
- Capacity that matches job size and crew strength.
- Spout design (straight, angled, or valved) for precise placement.
- Integrated bander/shoe for one-pass application.
- Heat shielding, lid, and stable base for safer handling.
- Smooth interior and clean-out access for faster maintenance.
- Durable wheels and balanced frames on larger units.
- Replacement parts availability (valves, shoes, handles).

For best results, heat crack filler to spec in a melter, fill the pot carefully, then walk the joint with steady speed and flow, overbanding 1–2 inches. Wear heat-resistant gloves, eye protection, and long sleeves; keep moisture away from hot material; and clean the pot while warm to prevent buildup. With the right pour pot, crack sealing becomes faster, cleaner, and more consistent across every pavement maintenance job.
