Need to fill a gap between two concrete slabs i have two concrete slabs in my back yard that are approximately 15 x 15.
Filling between concrete slabs.
Concrete takes time to cure so keep the patch moist for several days for a stronger fix.
Clean the gap of any foreign material using a wire brush.
Before attempting to fill a hole clear out loose concrete and other debris.
I would not fill it with anything that would stop the expansion and contraction of the concrete slab.
This method is aimed squarely at diyers using cheap readily available materials.
The felt that your talking about is an expansion joint filler.
Start at one corner of the gap and push the brush through using a scooping.
Examine the size of the gap to determine the repair method.
Buy some redwood or other fine grained lumber like teak that is naturally.
There is a space in between them that is 1 5 8 wide 15 long and about 3 deep.
There s a wide ugly gap between my concrete outdoor patio slab and the slab my house is built on.
Then mix the mortar fill in the hole and level it to blend it in with the surrounding structure.
For gaps 1 4 inch or less in width caulking alone will be.
8 comments on what do i use to fill in the space between slabs in my concrete driveway.
You might find some heavy duty caulking that would stay.
Sealers and fillers for concrete joints are not the same thing and have very different purposes.
A sealer is soft and able to accommodate the concrete slab s expansion and contraction.
I m well aware that quicker more expensive compounds are available to pro.
I m trying to determine whether to caulk the crack or fill it with some cement based patching.
Do the same for the gaps between the concrete slabs but stop filling the gaps about 2 inches from the top of the slabs.
