Yeah man, thanks for this---really helps with my decision---I was looking into this stuff for my driveway cracks, due to the ease of application, volume per container, etc., but....driveway's a highly visible area, and the polyurethane caulk/concrete repair stuff I used on some other cracks still looks good after 3 years....guess it's back to cranking the caulk gun all day LOL@@fixitFlip
I used this product yesterday. I followed the directions. It was easy. Make sure you shake it up well. The product comes out fast. Of course my dog stepped on a bit.
Thanks for sharing this @fixitflip. @scottr942 did you decide on a product for your driveway? I have large cracks in my garage (1-1.5" at worst) and I'm trying to figure out how to fix them. Re-pouring foundation is not an option. We are on a hill so the concrete will move over time. I haven't really liked many of these consumer products. I've done small crack repairs before and most of them fail in a year or two. I thinkI'm going to grind them out, fill with silica sand or backer, use something poly like Sikaflex, and then quickset concrete over the top for aesthetics. But I'm worried that any of these products might be a weak link.
I really like that you did three videos on this project; very useful information, thank you! As a side note, how annoying it must be for you to share information only to have people tell you what you "should do".
It is definitely interesting to find out how wrong you are when trying to post helpful tips. I try to take it in stride. Luckily there are some positive comments to help even them out, lol.
Good video, note The cost to rip out old and install new compared to the filler is huge. Our concrete pad cost 3k for new, im sure in your job cost would be similar and fill im sure 50 bucks worth of fill. So many ways to fix.
Though the filler has aged, the cracks themselves don't appear to have gotten worse. So in that sense it has worked well. I have cracks in my driveway which I haven't done anything to yet, and they DO look worse over time. Probably time to do something. If I can just stabilize the cracks, I'll be happy. Also, sprinkling sand over the top before it has fully set might allow it to blend in better and might even allow future touchups to adhere better. Thanks for the video follow-ups. 👍
Ive used it in my concrete driveway, and gets hard and cracks with movement. One area was super bad so I used SLAB Caulk (Lowes) and it stats flexible and doesn't crack.
The more you pressure wash concrete, the more you damage the surface. Every time you pressure wash it, you blast of the surface layer which makes it rougher each time.
So I want to use this to fill up some very thin (like hairline thin) but long cracks on my patio which I plan to paint with patio paint. Would you recommend for this, or find something else?
This man is the king of long term commitment
😂😂 Thanks!
Thanks for the one and three year follow ups on this. Really useful info.
No problem!

No problem and I'd say yep, that's the right call!@@thefarrellian1849
Thanks for doing this long-term project video. Very helpful.
No problem!

Definitely have to shake it a lot!
I watched all 3 videos (after applying, 1y and 3y). Thanks for the uploads!
No problem!
I am trying to decide what to use to fill driveway cracks and joint cracks. Very helpful! Thank you very much for following up with a 1 and 3 year.
No problem and glad I could help!

Great video. I think it would have helped if you used backer rod before the Quickrete.
I did! Used lots of it!

Good point there. Which is part of the reason I did it that way. That and the fact it is just a slab where my garbage cans sit. Not very visible.
I watched all three nice job.
Thank you!

Good thinking and no problem!
Excellent 3 series videos. Thank you!
Thank you and no problem!
I smoothed out the product. It made it look better and did not prevent it from filling the cracks.
Interesting. What did you tool it with? It is supposed to be self-leveling.
Thanks
No problem.
I'm curious. Do you think the crack filler is shrinking over time or is the concrete shifting some and opening the cracks up again?
Both. Not curing as flexible as advertised and also concrete moving with weather/temperature.
Ive used it in my concrete driveway, and gets hard and cracks with movement. One area was super bad so I used SLAB Caulk (Lowes) and it stats flexible and doesn't crack.
Thanks for the tip on the SLAB!
How is SLAB after a couple years?
Thank you, very helpful!
No problem, glad I could help!
I used it worked great for me .
That's great to hear!
Here's for a ten year review.
I'm in.
Thank you for doing this 💪🏽
No problem!
I like this item because you do not need a caulk gun to apply it.
That is definitely a pro!
Thanks for the helpful tips!
No problem!
The more you pressure wash concrete, the more you damage the surface. Every time you pressure wash it, you blast of the surface layer which makes it rougher each time.
Interesting. Thanks for the input.
Which is why you should seal concrete that is pressure washed.
try gray crackstix! heat applied but lasts and stays adhered to sidewalls.
I've seen those. Never tried. Thanks for tip.
So I want to use this to fill up some very thin (like hairline thin) but long cracks on my patio which I plan to paint with patio paint. Would you recommend for this, or find something else?
My recommendation would be to go with a polyurethane sealant like this one instead: amzn.to/3PBU4gC
would u recommend this product for indoor basement concrete floor
It hasn't held up well in the elements but I think it would do much better indoors, yes.
You would think that making fresh batch of concrete applying in the cracks would blend in with old concrete.
How long does the bottle say it’ll last before shrinking/ cracking?
The bottle doesn't mention any shrinking/cracking!
Would you still use this product again, or have you found something else since then that you prefer for that kind of use?
I would go with the "Slab" or the "Sika" sealant next time.
Where can i get this product in Myanmar ?
Sorry, I don't know!
Polyurethane ?
Probably the way to go.
Yeah don't bother with a pressure wash. Just use something like 30 Seconds outdoor cleaner or bleach/detergent solution and hose it off.
Good tip. About to try that on my siding.
Makes sense.

Interesting, thanks.
The comments on that video was hilarious. It is comedy gold.
👍
Thanks.
