FlexSet Concrete Repair

While a flower pushing up through a crack in the sidewalk may be endearing, it's not safe. Concrete sidewalks are everywherehomes, schools, businesses, churches, and they are destined to break down. Cracked and broken sidewalks are a tripping hazard, and much as we dont like it, a legal liability. Minor cracks can quickly become a major problem as cracks grow exponentially.

Polyurethane products are the simplest and fastest products available to repair concrete walkways. With these easy instructions your concrete walkway repair will be stronger and last longer than with traditional repair methods. For small cracks in your concrete sidewalk, Roklins Concrete Welder in cartridge format is a quick and easy solution. For larger cracks or damage, Roklins concrete repair product FlexSet, comes in a complete package ready to fix concrete sidewalks. With a few simple hand tools, repairs are simple. There is almost no preparation of cracked or damaged concrete. Simply sweep or blow out the damaged area, mix your materials and apply to repair cracked concrete sidewalk.

Polyurethane repairs can be done in most any weather. Provided the sidewalk can be dried before you begin, there is no need to worry about temperatures. FlexSet can be ordered with a catalyst for use in cold weather. With Concrete Welder and FlexSet, your concrete sidewalk repair will set up in under an hour regardless of humidity or cold.

For Small Cracks: Concrete Welder cartridge, a broom and a straight edge.

Smaller or hairline cracks in your concrete sidewalk can be filled simply using a Concrete Welder cartridge. Once the crack is clean and free of moisture, open cartridge and squeeze Concrete Welder directly into the crack. Use a scraper or straight-edge to smooth the material out. Wipe up any excess material and allow to dry for 30 minutes. Now the crack is filled and your concrete sidewalk is ready for use.

For Larger Cracks or Damage: FlexSet, a push broom or blower, a drill, a trowel or lute.

First ensure that the damaged area is clean and dry. Sweep or blow out cracks so there is no loose debris. Using Roklins FlexSet concrete sidewalk repair product, carefully pour contents of bottle a into provided 5-gallon bucket then add special sand. Next, shake thoroughly and pour bottle b into sand mixture. Mix with an egg-beater style pail mixer, using a drill. When mixture is completely wet, pour FlexSet onto damaged sidewalk and use a trowel or lute to smooth material into cracks. When repair is sufficiently smooth, toss topping sand by hand over repaired area to create a uniform look and feel. Your concrete sidewalk can be ready for pedestrians in about an hour.
