In this video I demonstrate how to prepare cracks in concrete to be filled and how to actually fill them so they are water tight.

Thank you for the product review and the one year follow up! It’s really great to have the knowledge of different products and be able to make comparisons and decisions of what to use !
I had similar cracks in the sidewalk. I filled them in with epoxy mixed with sand and then applied a thin layer of concrete to level out the square of broken and unlevel sidewalk. Looks like a new pour and still looks good with no cracks after 2 years.
That stuff is very good. I sealed a crack 3-4 years ago, maybe longer, and it's still holding very nicely.
Someone mentioned using play sand instead of backer rod. You can also dump play sand on the final layer of filler, let it dry 12 hours, brush away the excess and the final finish looks more like concrete than the dried filler.
Cheers mate. Been wanting to know the best way to repair a large crack in my patio. Very hot summers here in Australia. Keep up the good work.
Great video brother, thanks for sharing hopefully it's still holding up well? Can't wait for the 1 year review
I have made these repairs professionally for over 40 years. Well done. I have only a few suggestions/comments. 1. The backer rod provides proper depth control and proper profile to the bottom of the sealant. So technically the backer rod needs to fit snuggly. ( this is only a technicality and many professionals will do what you did it will affect sealant performance but in this instance I doubt it will be significant) I understand you do not have a wide selection of backer rod.
Thank you for the demonstration!
I'm filling cracks in my basement this morning before the new carpet goes down but the liquid filler that I'm using is coming out thick like clay. It was working just fine prior, coming out as pure liquid for the first 2 minutes of use. I tried warming it up which did help it flow better with less viscosity for a very limited time. I tried googling "Crack filler coming out like clay" and other similar search terms but not a single article came up in relation to that.
Just what I need.have to try this.thank you.
You're a good thorough worker. I like that!
I’ve tried them all. slab concrete filler in a tube worked best for me. Going on three years without any issues 👍
I really enjoyed this video because doing my drive way I spent about 100$ and now the crack is up higher the cement moved if I would of known about that filler it would of saved me probably busting up the whole slab of the drive way which is a easy grand dang thank you
Thanks very good even could follow your instructions 👍
thanks for the email regarding filling in the cracks in cement1!! great...very explicit!
We do this exact method at work,but we also use a primer from BASF that has sulfur in it that etches into the concrete the sealant will never pull up or pull away from either side of the crack when concrete shifts again after winter it’s an amazing product any brickyard carries it👍👍👍
Interesting stuff! Hopefully this saves me a contractor visit!!
Great step by step video; best one I’ve seen
Have watched multiple crack repair videos; yours is what I am going to use. I am mediocre handy, can’t squat and have an unusual way of trying to get up once I sit or get down: it will probably be a 5 fbomb I for me: multiple cracks need filling:
Thanks again!!
