Hi, the material is it calling Acrylic or Silicone ? I need working on concrete repair ?

Where can you buy the rubber for the joints?

I got to teach this guy how to properly caulk

Looks great! What if your total joint depth is only around 3/4" and you're caulking to fill only small cracks? Backer rod still needed?

I'm an older homeowner who has a driveway and sidewalks with some larger gaps (2-3") and a lot of narrower gaps. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to do this myself. Would I call a concrete company (like one that pours concrete for driveways) for something like this? If not, what type of company should I look for?

Great job. Is it self leveling sealant?

Poor work

Nice job and a nice presentation 👍🏽

What materials did you use?

That is quality work, thanks for such a great how-to video.

Glad I found this video. I also have these large ugly joints that need filling. All the other videos I saw on the subject are about filling saw cut joints.

What number of Dowsil did you use. Thank you.

Do you make sure sealant all the way to surface? I would image yes, but what if your 2 slabs are not level? Thanks. ( And great idea with the duct tape)

Good Information!

would it no be better off to make a tip out of pvc pipe to the size of joint you are fill so it has no air pockets.

Nice work. Great explanations!

Can you share where to get a tooling putty knife like that?

Gorgeous. ❤

Freaking amazing work. I have pretty big expansion joints in my garage. I'm going to grind and acid stain the floor and plan to do exactly this with my control joints. Here's my question: should I do this BEFORE or AFTER staining? I'm not sure how the acid stain will react with the sealant and sand...

The Army wants for there Missile Launcher back . Holy Sheetcake

Poor job .

That's not a gap, that's a canal.

Great video Sir! I have nearly the exact larger gap half way up my driveway and all the wood in my expansion joints are long gone, since this home is a 100+ yr old home. The driveway isn't 100 yrs old, it was put in in roughly in the mid 80's.

self leveling sealer is great.

Question regarding the manual gun vs. Makita gun. I have a full 2 car drive with 2 lanes and the joint in front and along side the garage along the service walk . You mentioned in the video the gun was turned up to highest setting. Would it be possible to do the drive I have and joints along the side of the garage and service walk and between the garage door and driveway slabs with the manual gun. I would like to try this product instead of the Sika this time but just can't find it within my budget to spend ~$350 for gun with battery. TIA

Awesome job. Have you tried the Sika self leveling product? If so do you prefer this product over the Sika self leveling product? Thanks

Backer rod needs to be bigger with tight press fit.

Scott, I just started in the business of concrete lifting 2024. Thank you for your videos!

One of the best videos I've seen on any topic. Great explanations, great pacing, and I especially appreciated your taking the time to show Chase's handicraft in real-time. Much appreciation!

You should check out using dymonic semi self levelling caulk for this. It doesn’t need and tooling. It can be applied on gentle slopes as apposed to their self leveling caulk which is only for dead level surfaces. Loved the sand trick

Nice Video. Why dont you use self leveling sealant for the big one?

Im practicing in my backyard. I was wondering, I made like a 20ft long, 18 inch wide love seat. Corner is in 3 se tions and not exactly leveled. I think one poor had more water. Anyway, Im thinking to go over it with cement again to level it all out. How would I do my expansion joint markings? Like put a post where the only expansion joint is at?

I would have that shit everywhere 😂

Thank you.

Great job! Which Dowsil # are you using?

How much did you charge for this job? If you don’t mind me asking cause I’m getting into this work on my own and I’m trying to learn.

This 'Dowsil sealant is now $35.00 per tube for that 20oz. sausage in April 2024 Very pricey. Quadrupled in price in 3+ years....unless you get a much lower price from wholesale supplier. Nice job though, the Dowsil sealant looks like a very good product and relatively easy to work with, it seems to have a long work time before it starts to set up. I live right near you in Riverton. Have a daughter in Draper.

New in the trade, but uh. You seem nervous. You pushed some off in the grass.

How is last?

Ok. It’s been 2 years since you did the caulking job. How does it look in 2024?

That looks damn good, brother. Nicely done. I'm about to seal new control joints on a freshly poured slab then after they cure, I'll seal the entire slab. Fortunately, the control joints are not as wide as the ones you did but a few are quite deep. I have some backer-rod to fill those deep spots before using a self-leveling control joint selant. Appreciate the video. Have a fine weekend. 👍🏽🤠 03/16/24

12:07 that subtlety of the hand movement when you lifted and drew back a little to have the excess material fall back onto the surface without messing it up all over the place goes to show you're a smart smart person. great clean job.

Why did you only use sand for the thin cracks but not on the expansion joints?

Exelente video como se llama el producto que le puso bendiciones

You are the man for recording like this!! Thank you for such an excellent production for this video. Your skill and know-how help explain how to get the best results!!

Looks very expensive material 8$ spent on 10 foot

Been scouring for weeks. There are very few, like maybe this may be the only video, that covers filling a gap over 1”. Thanks.

THAT SAUSAGE IS BIG

That sand is actually not a bad idea and I’m kinda surprised that certain big traffic flat work areas jobs don’t recommend it. I saw another guy do it and then started brushing the wet caulking and sand mix and making a mess. I worked decades on and off for about 5 or 6 different caulking companies which ranged pretty dramatically as far as standards But No One Ever Taped Anything. I’ve seen other guys little contractors tape and get the caulking All over the tape and then pull the tape and break the seal all the way down both sides. Pull the tape and break the seal. That’s a whole lot of back knifing and wasted caulking and that shit is expensive. I worked with guys who put the Exact amount in and knifed it. NO BACKKNIFING!! Caulkers I worked with Wasted NOTHING not like other trades with enormous waste. THOSE concrete joints are Way too big and that’s Way too much caulking. Those should have been simple 1/4 inch Sawcuts and No Caulking Caulking saw cut joints is Idiotic and unnecessary just like sidewalks caulking and other stuff. Those Flexy knives were never used by the top gun caulkers Almost always used Stiff blade ground round putty knives or something like that I’ve made a lot of knives over the years. You have to be aggressive with caulking and not scared of it

Great finish, but it seems a lot went to waste, can you adjust the speed or cut a small hole in the tip of caulking gun?
