How To Use A HOTBOX 10
It’s really easy to set up and use a HOTBOX 10 crack fill machine. You only need to follow three simple steps and you’ll be good to go.
-
Put a block of rubberized asphalt crack filler in the main melter chamber, then light your torch and allow the material to heat up in 20 minutes or less. You can also use the agitator as it warms to speed up the heating process.
-
Check to see that the crack filler has fully melted and turned from solid to liquid form. Once it has, you can start to push your HOTBOX 10 at walking speed along any cracks you wish to repair.
-
To deposit the rubberized crack filler, use the controls on the machine’s handles. Simply press the trigger lever as you walk along each crack, and the filler will be deposited into a scraper. This scraper will smooth the crack filler out along the crack and create a seal.

Applications
There’s a reason the HOTBOX 10 is as popular as it is. As an easy-to-use, reliable solution, it is the ideal product choice for anyone who has crack filling needs. Use it to apply rubberized crack filler in the most cost-effective way possible, for a professional and long-lasting repair to your asphalt and pavement cracks.
With the HOTBOX 10, you can cover between seven and 10 linear feet of cracks per pound of crack filler, and in just seconds! So, with half a pallet of rubberized crack filler, you’ll be able to bond the cracks that cover a small driveway or similar surface area. And, with six blocks of crack filler, you could repair a small parking lot or long residential driveway. Whatever your needs, the HOTBOX 10 will be up to the task!
It also requires minimal maintenance. You don’t even have to drain or clean the unused crack filler after each run. Instead, the HOTBOX 10 crack fill machine will simply reheat whatever’s left over in the melter body when you next use it, so neither your time nor your materials get wasted.
While most popular with professional sealcoating and crack filling contractors, the HOTBOX 10 can also be used by property managers and homeowners looking to do their own asphalt crack repairs. We have even seen homeowners pitch in to purchase and share one of our HOTBOX 10 crack fill machines and a pallet of crack filler, so that together they can serve the needs of their community!
FAQ
What Is The Best Way To Fill Asphalt Cracks?
You should use a push melter to fill asphalt cracks with rubberized asphalt crack filler. As the HOTBOX 10 crack fill machine is able to heat up rubber almost twice as quickly as other models on the market, it is the most time-efficient and professional way of repairing cracks in asphalt and pavements.
How Long Does It Take For Asphalt Crack Filler To Heat Up?
Asphalt crack filler takes as little as 20-30 minutes to heat up with the HOTBOX 10. Its evenly guided heat distribution makes it the fastest melter applicator on the market, cutting heat-up time by almost 50%!
How Long Does It Take For Asphalt Crack Filler To Dry?
Asphalt crack filler applied by a HOTBOX 10 can take as little as 30 minutes to dry in cooler temperatures. In hotter climates, it may take 45 minutes or longer, but will rarely take more than an hour.
Is It Okay To Leave Asphalt Crack Filler In The Machine After Usage?
Yes! With the HOTBOX 10, you can leave any unused crack filler in the machine after you’ve finished your run. You will not have to clean it out or drain it. The machine will simply reheat the leftover crack filler during your next usage.
How Often Should I Clean My Asphalt Crack Fill Machine?
You should clean your asphalt crack fill machine after about five runs, to prevent rubber building up and burning in the melter. To clean it, simply heat it up and scrape out the remaining crack filler inside with a scraping tool, being careful not to burn yourself.
