Andehh Posted August 16 Posted August 16 We had some movement where a subbie used insulation under the screed in the garage floor. Found out after a year of use, but builder came out and dug out and redid the area. However, I now have this slight join between the two different slabs, and with my epoxy resin coating it really shows. Before the builder rectified it, when the original crack was there I tried some two part crack filler but it was gritty and impossible to get a smooth/flush finish. Any recommendations for how to make it as seemless as possible, but also slightly flexible with the two different slabs?
Nickfromwales Posted August 16 Posted August 16 Grind it out and use a mastic that’s designed for this job. You can hire a grinder on wheels like an electrician uses for chasing out. Then put a blade in that’s wide enough to give you a decent bit of space for the mastic to have some purchase.
Andehh Posted August 17 Author Posted August 17 Would flexible grout be worth a shot? We have 2 x 7 seater cars, and it's block and beam so some slight movement may occur?

Nope. As you have movement a grout will just deteriorate and crumble away. Use a mastic as it is a dynamic not static deck. 1
Andehh Posted August 17 Author Posted August 17 Figured as much, was just hoping for something more seemless, but makes sense! Thanks 1
