Worth it? Best method?
I have a small (very thin) crack in my garage floor (new) due to differential shrinkage, though it is quite long. Also one of the flares on my driveway (new) is essentially cracked off 12/14/2012 8:24:04 AM |

I'd cut it out first before you caulk it, just follow the crack with a concrete/masonry wheel then caulk. 12/14/2012 8:58:09 AM |

chase it with wheel and caulk as mentioned above if it bothers you. If it is differential settlement, it will continue to open. Anyone that suggests epoxy is just going to take your money. (there are structural people in your office that will say epoxy, aint gonna work) 12/14/2012 5:55:02 PM |

How big is the slab? Are there any control joints in it? When was it poured?
Feel free to answer those questions, but I'm just going to tell you not to worry about it regardless. 12/14/2012 9:28:17 PM |
