I am so happy to run across your video. I accidentally scrap a wall, and your tutorial was a live saver, I'm a 56 yr. single woman doing repairs around my house, my sons were busy, so I did it myself, and I was able to go to home depot and do a color match for $3 ( if you bring them a quarter size , they can match any color, cost me almost $10 for everything, I'm going to put a second coat today, and paint it tomorrow. THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !!!

Good Day Can this method be used to fill hairline cracks in Garage concrete floors? I plan on painting my my floor with rustoleum epoxy floor paint. Do you think that will fill in hairline cracks. Thanks

@howtopaintinfo 3 жыл бұрын

Epoxy paints can vary in viscosity so depends on the paint it might fill some of the hair line cracks. You could always apply one coat and fill what ever cracks are remaining or decided which cracks will fill with a second coat and fill the ones you know paint won't fill.

Would I use the same method for a concrete foundation wall? I had a foundation pro check the hairline crack and he told me to paint it but I found out if I use a sealant, it will keep water out. I live in the floodplains so keeping water out is very important to me

@howtopaintinfo 2 жыл бұрын

You could use the same method but you will still need to paint after. There is a product called brushable bitumen, its a membrane that will stop the water, its often used for painting inside of guttering and rain water tanks to stop leaks. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

A flexible filler would be good as cement sheeting is very ridgid and the slightest knock on the wall might open up the crack. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe

Depends on how large, there is a point when it should be filled with a filling compound and a good measure would be if you can put a coin in the crack then a more solid filler should be used. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.
