Please keep us posted on the longevity of this process. This seems to be a good way to make a temporary repair until permanent replacement can be accomodated.
I really appreciate your honesty and your process in accepting the feedback. I watched the first video, read the comments and watched this and feel like I have shared in your process. Thanks for sharing.
Looks good, I am looking forward to a follow up on how it worked. Thanks.
Good idea I am going to try this Thank you for sharing God bless.
Like mom always says, always wet the crack before filling.
Nice work. I did a few cracks yesterday. One big joint on my house, then a few cracks in the driveway. 2 more tubes of caulk left then Ill try this on the rest of them.
There is quikcrete concrete crack repair mix which I am using. Suppose mortar mix would work. Also I used concrete adhesive.
I liked the way you did this; I some similar cracks to repair on my front stoop. My old concrete is a very light tan color, not the grey of standard dry mortar mix. Did you have to give any consideration to matching colors between the existing concrete and the repaired area? If so, did you find any simple ways for a DIYer to match these colors, to minimize the obviousness of the repaired cracks?
P.S. a shop vac or other strong vacuum cleaner can help get the dirt and other loose material out of the cracks after the bigger pieces have been removed. Dispensing the dry mortar mix from a large Ziplock type bag, by cutting off a small piece of one of the bottom corners of the bag and letting it flow into the joint, could help in getting the mortar mix down into the cracks, and not on the adjacent surfaces, as could using a folded piece of heavy paper as a chute to get it down into the cracks. The misting method you used is a great idea. A light hand brooming of the nearly dry mortar (from several different directions after the first 3 mistings) might help in matching the texture of the repaired cracks to that of the adjacent old concrete.
Keep up the good work. Haters hate, while the rest of us get the job done.
If you're using such a small amount, why not just mix the mortar, put some painter tape as borders, trowel the mortar in, finish it, remove painter's tape, and go have a nap? Going out watering the dry pour every hour seems like a bigger hassle than mixing 1\2 a gallon of mortar.
Give the guy a break.
why not pour it in and sweep excess in?
What type of mortar mix have you used? Is it only cement and fine sand?
Yes basically. No large aggregate at all.
Give it a paint job and walah!
Initially how many times did you spray water mist in total?
Mist twice, then flood after that.
That IS a crack and the reason for it is it SHOULD have been an expansion joint. ;
