One tube will fill a crack 1/2 inch wide and about 5 feet long, slightly longer or shorter. Add about half an inch of pea gravel or foam rope to the big expansion cracks, tamp it down with a board and a hammer, then add a little more to keep it fairly close to the sidewalk. Add the Dap self-leveling compound after that. Using silicone filler to level the surface. There is a wide variety of colors, so to see whether you like it and whether it matches, try one.
Watered-down cement is not what it appears to be. Years of softness and pliability can be found in this piece. Like thin caulk, it is a little bit watered down.
In short, yes. Over rope backer was used in my concrete joints in the garage. After that, I painted it with a commercial epoxy paint. It's been a couple of years now and it still looks new. The floor in my house is definitely flexes with the season (especially during The only thing I'd watch for is to make sure you use the back end of a spoon to keep the product tight around the edges and to keep it from falling too far from the Having all the sealant covered in paint just as you finish it will prevent the problem of catching your tools (shovel, squeegee, etc) on stray pieces of sealant.
The bricks should stay in place as long as they are installed properly and are not moving around My concrete driveway has held up very well with no splits or cracks since I used it.

I know you're thinking, "It's the best tip I could possibly provide here (maybe)"
Pour a little coarse sand on top before it dries and it will blend much more seamlessly with the In spite of the cracks in my driveway, I managed to fix more than a few of them and you'd be hard pressed to find.
This component is excellent for sealing the slap between our garage and our I like the flow of this and the way it sets up. Approximately 7 feet of snow fell on me. By filling a gap of 5/8" with backer rod per tube. Here are a few things I quickly picked up. You should first buy a backer rod whose gap is slightly larger It would have been better if I ordered a 3/4" backer so I could squeeze it tighter in It barely touched the sides in some spots and when I applied sealing agent, it sagged a little, so I had to add a lot more to the joint in order to level it. To ensure the backer rod is level in the joint, ensuring that the backer rod is level When you squeeze out this stuff, you want it to come out fast and without rupturing yourself. In the case of a long run, you should have a couple of tubes at the ready before you begin A tube change can be done in a few seconds, thereby keeping the joints wet and flowing without Ensure that all surfaces are clean and dry and then seal everything thoroughly. If you want to go over it again, don't do so. Once applied, this material sets up pretty quickly and won't flow well if placed over material you put down earlier that is already tacky and is starting to set up. Using one thick line of sealant is the best way to complete the job. After it levels out and looks professional, it'll look extremely smooth. The course I took was a one-credit course My first task was to build a car garage, which took me just 10 minutes. Two years ago, I did my graduate work As for the sealant in the car garage, I ran the bead in less than 60 seconds, and it was perfect. To keep the joint clean, cover it with a clear piece of plastic for a few hours to prevent ants from building a nest there.
In the end, it won't be automatically level, if you put too much, a hump forms. It is ugly, and the color does not match at all with the concrete, and it has been down for two weeks with no improvement. Apparently it does not get hard. I put the power washer on it to see if I could level it out. Nope, and it turned white. I bought some stuff at Lowe's years ago, and it worked much better. I wish I could recall the name of your product. INVEST YOUR MONEY WISELY AND DO NOT WASTE IT!.
This is the second one I bought. I have been using it for five years now and it has never failed. The system was installed The 1/2" gaps between sections of a cement sidewalk were filled with this Furthermore, the street apron or curb is incline with only a slight degree As it stood, it did not move. Add foam filler to deep gaps (as I did) if you have them. There was probably no more than a 1/2" thickness to this pour. The information presented here is excellent.
It had already been done some time ago, but I didn't have it redone due to the high cost. I also had no idea how to caulk in a smooth, professional manner. I guess this does the trick. As soon as it comes out of the tube, it's runny, like a heavy oil, and goes into every nook and cranny of the crack, and within seconds, the surface smooths out. That's all it needs to do for 24 hours to It is also very easy to direct where you want it to go. In its dry state, it takes on the color of concrete, with probably a bit of brown in it. It looks suitable around concrete since it is similar to the colour of Also, it can be painted, though I did not do so. It will not work in vertical cracks because it is a liquid. You should use it in the following ways 1) Be sure to keep the crack/joint depth to about 1/2" by using backer rod. ** 2) When applying this, fill the joint up to the level you desire, do not add more later, otherwise the finish will be less good. *** 3) Do not use this on a windy day, or dust will blow around. The caulk surface was dirty
4) It should wipe off pretty easily with a damp cloth, and if it dries a bit Once it has completely dried, it has been glued to the It's not going to come 5) You will use this more *6) If you have to fill a lot of holes (like a swimming pool joint), you can buy this in stores that sell home improvement materials by the 6 and etc. We buy it in bulk and save a lot of money than if we bought it individually.
This stuff is great. This is a highly recommended book.
Following dozens of trials and errors, I found this product to be the most effective for filling driveway cracks and sidewalks. Self leveling cement is fantastic because you won't have to force it into cracks like with some other products. Having said that, it can be a bit messy using a caulking gun if you are not careful where you aim I have found it to be no different from most other products I have used in terms of ease of application. In addition to holding up well and being able to be painted over, it can also be erased. In one wider crack, I also rubbed a little sand on the crack to make it blend in with the texture of the rest of the concrete around it. In addition, if you have a large crack or a deep one, it works best to apply it in layers and then let it dry.
It was so difficult to squeeze out of the tube that I had to use two hands even some chunks came The surface would not level on its own. I made a complete mess of things. As it is, I had to purchase a tube from a big box store because I was worried that there wasn't I was sent an old dried up tube so I only gave it a 3. 3 star rating because it came out of the tube easily and self-leveled nicely. So, the product may be good, but I was sent a dried up tube and rated it 3. 3 stars. It was my fault for not ending its use and sending it back. I should have sent it back instead of throwing it away.
The driveway had a crack so a crack in it had to be filled. It took about 5 minutes per section (1 tube per section) to fill the crack. Once it had a chance to settle, I gave it a few minutes. Self-leveling occurs when a fairly low viscosity is transformed. Cracks grew in some areas with a deeper depth than others, causing voids to appear. I then repeated the process to fill the void sections. Even with the second pass, the level seemed to be good. Backer rods were not strong enough to fill the cracks, so we could not use them. My last attempt was to top it off with coarse sand after ten minutes of digging This takes about 15 minutes (I saw another reviewer recommend it good job of blending the area together. There is still a crack visible, but it's similar in color and texture to all the rest. This will hold up for a few years, so it will be a very good investment.
