Mike I can't tell you how much I appreciate an old school mason sharing their knowledge and how much I've learned. Your videos are spot on and helped me to redo some work on my 1950's era house with some confidence and great results. Since I can't even hardly find a mason in my area that will take small jobs your videos were an amazing help.
I love your videos Mike! It's refreshing to see an unpretentious craftsperson sharing tips. Straight to the point. No silly intro; no unnecessary sound effects, special guests, or any nonsense like that. Keep doing what you do!
Mike, I found a long term solution to driveway cracks. A few years ago I experimented with flexible floor patch. It's a latex patch that they use under vinyl flooring. DAP makes it. It is slightly sanded and a beige grey color so matches old concrete well. Its not made for driveways but it has held up very well for me. It comes in a 1 qt tub premixed for under $10 and you can work it and sponge it just like caulk. It's about the consistency of spackle out of the tub. It remains slightly flexable after it dries but firm enough that you.can do large voids.
It's called "dap flexible floor patch and leveler" it comes premixed in 32 oz tubs for about $10. It applies like a sticky, spackel like mixture. It can be wiped smooth with sponge. I patched all of my cracks before painting with driveway concrete paint. It has held up very well. When I previously patched the cracks with regular cement it cracked again within a month.
Pretty nifty, Mike. The soft patch beneath the caulk makes sense, because the pieces on either side are going to move when things freeze. Nice technique to add to my playbook! Thanks again.
Thank for allll this knowledge you're giving us! I'm only in my 40s but find that the old school ways are often best, so learning them is important to me. I'm fortunate that my dad learned from a man who layed portland highways all over OH, WV, and PA in the 50s to 80s. I now have access to those same tools he used, the info he passed to my dad, and your wealth of info, too.
Mike, A note to say thank you for your entertaining and informative videos on masonry work. I like instruction from you young guys. I was a bridge builder in my early years. Lot's of concrete and mortar but very big volumes. Now in my retirement business I clean and repair grave stones and have gotten some valuable tips from you. So thanks and tell Honest Mike I'll vote for him if I get up PA way.....The Old Timer...
I've pressure washed and sealed surfaces for 35 years. I maintained an exposed ag and plain cement patterned driveway (33,000 square ft!) for two decades. At first I used silicone for cracks in the exposed ag. As the drive worsened I changed my method...pea gravel and epoxy pudding into the large gaps and silicone over the top when cured...Not concrete per se, but just a tip.
If the caulk is to protect the crack from water getting the concrete patch and busting it up again, why isn't a thin film of caulk sprayed onto the surface of new driveways somehow? Always love your vids giving me food for thought. Thanks, take care and stay safe.
@@MikeHaduck One question for ya Mike , whats your thought on power washing concrete patio that has black mold on it and white stone steps? Will it damage it?
I have a lot of cracks in my patio slap and driveway. I didn't know what is the best way to do it until I watched your videos. Thank you for the clear instruction and "it ain't no big deal" made me feel brave to do it and keep hearing your voice in my head :). I have a hard time finding masonry sand around my area. Will the all-purpose sand work the same?
Mike, sorry to add a comment on to an older video, but I just ran across your channel. I have been wondering for the last couple of years what I can do to repair cracks in my exposed aggregate concrete driveway, but I have not been able to find on-line repairs for aggregate concrete. The cracking is becoming worse over time, with cracks increasing in size and starting to show some level changes. What can I to to repair cracks in my aggregate concrete driveway? As we approach the cold and wet days of winter, the weather conditions creates challenges to find nice days to repair the cracks.
Hi Mike, I'm guessing the only way to properly get rid of the crack is to cut the two joints out more and pour that section again? Thanks again for all your videos
Hey Mike, a little but noticeable portion of cement seeped from some forms on a patio onto our sidewalk. What's the best way to remove/repair it? Btw great content as usual🏆
hi mike thanks for another great video.i was wondering where you bought your paint brush with the soft bristles to paint cement I cannot find one like yours.thanks Harry
Hi, We have smaller cracks in our driveway. This method might be a little difficult to get it all in there. Do you recommend a different method for smaller cracks? The Home Depot guy recommended Sika crack flex sealant (but when I watched the video it said horizontal cracks only?), the guy at the lumber store recommended Sika Self leveling sealant. Not sure who to believe? Just don't want to make things worse. Also, our driveway isn't quite the same material. It has lots of little rocks in it not sure what you call it, aggregate maybe? Thanks
Hi Kelly, my method is basically a covering before replacement, some people redo it every year. I would do a very small section and see what works for you, I hope it helps, Mike
Still not sure I understand why the drive cracked? Was it because the control joint with the sidewalk was not full depth? So heaving of the sidewalk moved the piece the driveway with it and cracked it?
What happens if you don't "chase" the crack? I have a couple cracks across my driveway but filling them with Akonaflex™ Self-Leveling Concrete Repair just seems an easier fix for now..? Would love to know. Thanks a bunch.
I have an area that I don’t care if it looks pretty or not. Can I use the quick Crete that comes in a “bottle” and dries in 5 min, and then use the caulking in the same day?
Hi Mike. I know you don't give 'advice' over the internet but I'm having trouble finding good info on dry packing. To fill in and repair long cracks in a concrete garage floor is it more appropriate to use conventional 2:1 sand/portland wet mix or use dry packing?
Hi Marco, for an inside garage floor I would watch the guys doing the epoxy floors, they have unique ways before they do the whole floor, inside garage floors are a whole different animal, thanks, mike
It ain't no big deal....Until it cracks again. Lol. I use dry mortar or sometimes color hardener and and rub it into the crack until it's filled then mist it. The grit from the sand and lime from the outside the crack helps blend the colors
This is awesome. “Food for thought” is the best expression. It means so much. Thanks again. God Bless. To me this is an art channel. There is also a Ryan FortNine(motorcycle review) and Nik Rekjevic who is lately building this scratch log cabin. Spell check both, but like Mike, it’s careful, beautiful, and with thankful grace, therefore proper.
@@MikeHaduck I see. Thanks for replying. You got a new subscriber here. I'm a bit handy, but new to working with cement. Just started giving some maintenance to some neglected concrete slabs at the entrance and around my church. If you could spare a minute or two to answer another question, what do think about polyurethane concrete expansion joint fillers? do these last a good amount if time if done well? thinking about sealing some of the larger longer joints because they grow a crazy amount of weeds. thank you
Great content as always!!!! I was wondering where someone can learn how to lay brick? Is there such a place like a school? Someone may say just to work for somebody to do that but, I have a job but I’m also very interested in learning! Please Mike if you could possibly respond my questions ... thank you in advance!!
Hi J C, brickwork is a dying thing, everything is getting premade or fake stone, it good to know but it's on the job you learn, frost and footers are the big concern, I don't know what to tell you. Repairs and concrete is what is happening now, thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck hey unused that cemet all mortix mix for the first time and I loved it. It was 95 so I put in some retarded which helped a little. Thanks for your videos on it.
would that product help stop moisture get into a hole with a screw on a mortar wall? the guys that install the internet cable are quite dumb and they only care to do the job as fast as possible and now I have to go fix what they didn't do
This has to be my absolute favorite masonry video. Your first dry mix pack looks already mind blowing good. Then you sprinkle the Portland and mist it; blends it so nice ! A few weeks ago, I used a similar concrete caulk. I hate to admit I didn't do the Portland finish step. It looks half decent on dry days, but all the scars scream through whenever it gets wet &/or rains. Even good old school Portland paint will not properly cover the cured, unsanded silicone caulk. There's always next year 😆
@@MikeHaduck I think I get it. The cement fills the void and the caulk seals it so water can't infiltrate, freeze and split it out. Don't really see why a bad winter would affect it. Maybe, the ground beneath the repair heaving?
Thats not polymer modified so its not going to flex, its not going to hold…it looks more aesthetic, but you should have done ur mix with half water, half polymer…sand mix like u used
That is going to fail so quickly. It should be ground out with diamond blade or wire brush and install a flexible sealant. That joint obviously moves and the new concrete patch is going to crack apart. This will fail in a few years when a quality caulk repair would last 10yrs easy
Hi Daniel, I did this video last year. Mild winter but still fine, the driveway is starting to fall apart, so 10 years from now he will be looking at replacement anyway, thanks Mike
