If you want to REALLY fix a crack that will last for a LONG time, will adhere to both sides exceptionally well, will hold up to weather changes, etc... I actually invented my own cement crack repair solution that basically holds up to ANYTHING. Just avoid the expansion cracks with my invention. What I did was I purchased a gallon of the 2part epoxy mix and some basic mortar. I mixed a little of the mortar into the resin... not too much though. Just enough to create almost like a pudding consistency. I then added the hardener and mixed. After I added the harder 1/2 of the Epoxy mix, the mixture was basically a pourable consistency but not too runny. I then just pour it into the cracks and let it cure. Its looks great too because its also self leveling. Although, because its an epoxy mixed cement, rather than water, the epoxy & mortar filled crack stays looking like a wet cement, even though its cured and dry. Filled my crack with my homemade epoxy concoction invention almost 5 years ago snd its still holing up perfectly
@gheangel_quinn26 күн бұрын
I think what the other commenter meant was rather than using an extra utensil (in this case a measuring container and in the 1st video a trowel) just slowly pour the mortar straight from the bag and into the crack. Once you've filled the entire crack, just use the broom or paint roller to smooth it out
@chadfitzgerald7760Ай бұрын
Why not pour wet concrete into the crack? I’m seeing comments not to fill an expansion joint I would fill it water will continue to get into the joint I absolutely have all my joints filled. Also you should let this set for at least 10 days after filling the cracks. Then apply driveway sealer with a paint roller on a stick.

You’re going to loose low end torque with this mod. Right off the box Toyota did such an excellent job with the GR Corolla I wouldn’t change anything about it
@DeepRacer-zr4ypАй бұрын
no, this is a turbo car. I hate this bullshit about backpressure. No engine needs backpressure. As long as you have a good header it will take care of exhaust scavenging. Most engines make more power with an open header, think about that. Backpressure is bad. Of yourse you don't wanna have a 6 inch exhaust on a very small engine because the exhasut velosity will suffer, so xeah it is always a act of balance. But backpressure is bullshit, exhaust scavenging is real
@kengit2Ай бұрын
@@DeepRacer-zr4yp Darn that Toyota Chief Engineer Naoyuki Sakamoto when he talked about managing backpressure on the GR Corolla. I actually believed him! Now I look like a fool.
