Where do you get the gallon-sized repair compound? Would this work with a large 1.5" crack? Or is a backer needed to fill first? This is the nicest looking youtube repair I've seen, and I've watched a bunch. Poly seems like the correct product because it can be flexible. Cracks grow and it will likely split again, probably very quickly with an inflexible product. Thanks!
Yes, I put links to all the products in the description. The blade is called a crack chaser diamond blade, the product you can get at concrete exchange. Thank you for the compliment! Means a lot.
So is this a more solid repair than say using backer rod plus self leveling sealant and then finishing with either More-Flexx, sand, or Quikcrete? Amazing tutorial! I may have to tackle some of the cracks in the driveway.
This is for a random crack in the center of a pad or area, I think what you are describing is more for an expansion joint where you need it to be able to flex.
Yeah, you don’t want to use play sand at all. I’ve always used multi purpose sand, works great, especially if the crack goes all the way through the slab.
can you show what to use to seal the crack between garage floor and the house's wall? I noticed the cracks around the wall in my garage when I cleaning up thinking of pressure wash the garage floor, now I am wondering shall i pressure wash first or sealed the crack first?
Is this what you would use in a 4.5 inch carport slab that’s cracked all the way through in Florida? I have 2 deep cracks all the way through the slab. They are about 4-5 inches wide. And The crack is about 2 feet away from the original expansion cut.
@@wolfofconcrete found out today it’s pavement ants causing the damage. My husband has his pest control license so I have some termidor sc to treat. Is there anything you recommend when concrete damage is from pests? Like wait til they are completely GONE before repairing? Or anything like that.

Also what is the specific disc you used to widen the crack? Is it specifically made for concrete?
Yes, I put links to all the products in the description. The blade is called a crack chaser diamond blade, the product you can get at concrete exchange. Thank you for the compliment! Means a lot.
With this product you don’t need backer rod.
@@wolfofconcrete Does concrete exchange sell it in gallons? I couldn't find it there.
Looks like the only sell it in 20oz. I couldn't find it available from any other retail. Thanks!
Beautiful final results.
Thank you!

@@wolfofconcrete it depends on whether it is a static or dynamic crack. This is unacceptable for a dynamic crack.
What product is that you use to fill the crack
TK-9030. It’s a two part filler.
You blind or what?
It’s okay I’m here to answer any questions anyone might have.
Where r u located ?
@user-yi7vc4qh1q Tampa, Florida area.
Play sand is also water eroded so has rounded edges. For structural integrity we want building sand with sharp edges.
Yeah, you don’t want to use play sand at all. I’ve always used multi purpose sand, works great, especially if the crack goes all the way through the slab.
What about polymeric sand?
@MadLadsAnonymous I wouldn’t recommend polymeric sand.
What grit Zec Wheel do you recommend using?
For this process I would recommend 24 grit Zec Wheel.

Yes, I’ve used this plenty of times on through cracks. Just make sure to add some sand before the crack treatment as well as during.

@@wolfofconcrete and will sand fill a void that big? I read online expanding foam but that sounds kinda goofy to me. It’s not strong it’s just filler
@@Aphillywitdahoodie yes, I’ve used this product on some pretty big cracks and it works great.
@@wolfofconcrete for cracks in concrete caused from pests too?
Are the safety glasses just supposed to be left off your eyes when cutting the concrete? Lmao
It’s a personal choice.
Never found any product that works and have tried many.
Give this system a try if you haven’t already.
