How to Repair Cracks In Concrete Using Slab:
1. Gather Tools
You’ll Need:
• Slab
• Backer Rod
• Drill-mounted brush or stiff bristled brush for cleaning out the crack.
• Caulk Gun
• Utility knife for opening the caulking cartridge.
• Putty knife or foam brush for tooling.
• Damp rags for clean-up.
2. Clean the Crack
In order to create the strongest bond possible between the caulk and material being repaired. Use the stiff bristled brush or drill-mounted brush to remove all loose debris.
3. Insert Backer Rod
Any crack that is deeper than 1/2″ and wider than 1/4″ needs to be filled with backer rod prior to being caulked to ensure both proper elasticity as well as an efficient amount of caulk.
4. Apply the Caulk
Apply the bead of caulk at least 1/4″ thick but no more than 1/2″ thick. This allows the caulk to stretch correctly.
5. Tool the Caulk
Use a damp foam brush, a putty knife, or your finger to create a smooth, uniform bead and ensure the caulk adhered to the sides of the joint properly.
6. Clean Up
With a damp cloth while the caulk is still wet, use soap and water to clean up excess caulk.
