How to Use Liquid Cement Concrete Crack Filler
Cracks often occur in concrete porches, sidewalks or driveways. If these cracks are not repaired quickly, they can grow larger and spread, causing the entire surface to break and become damaged. Liquid concrete crack filler is a fast and effective way to repair these cracks.
- Clean the concrete area. Use a broom to sweep away any loose dirt. Use a power washer to wash away stuck on dirt and grime and to remove any debris or dirt that may be present in the cracks that need to be filled.
- Submerge the crack filler into a bowl of warm water. This will make the crack filler soft and easier to work with. This will also allow it to exit the can faster and more easily.
- Shake the can to mix up the crack filler. Remove the cap and use a pair of scissors or a knife to cut off the tip of the can.
- Locate the cracks that need to be filled. Place the tip of the crack filler can inside the crack. Squeeze the crack filler can or tube to apply the crack filler to the crack. Continue to apply the crack filler until the entire crack is full.
- Use a small chisel or trowel to remove the excess crack filler from the crack. Scrape it away and dispose of it.
- Allow the crack filler to dry overnight. Check the crack to see if it has been completely filled. If the crack is not completed filled, repeat the process and add more crack filler to the crack.
