How to Repair Control Joints in Concrete

Materials Needed:

  • KwikBond Kwik-Crete
  • Mixing tools (drill and mixing paddle)
  • Applicator tool (trowel or putty knife)
  • Personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses)

Step-by-Step Guide:

Prepare the Control Joint:

Clean the control joint thoroughly, removing any debris, dust, or existing filler material.

Make sure the joint is dry and free from moisture.

Mix the Kwik-Crete:

  • Kwik-Crete is a two-component system with a 1:1 mix ratio by volume. Measure and mix the resin and hardener accurately.
  • Use a drill and mixing paddle for a consistent, thorough mix. Mix until you achieve a uniform consistency.

Application:

  • Once mixed, apply Kwik-Crete into the control joint using a trowel or putty knife. Ensure the material is pressed firmly into the joint for full adhesion.
  • Kwik-Crete’s ultra-low viscosity allows it to penetrate deeply into the crack or joint, ensuring a robust repair.

Leveling and Smoothing:

  • Use your tool to level and smooth the surface for an even finish.
  • Remove any excess material for a clean, professional look.

Rapid Setting Time:

  • Kwik-Crete sets in under 20 minutes. Allow it to cure as per the instructions on the package.
  • Avoid foot or vehicle traffic over the area during the curing time.

Final Inspection:

After curing, inspect the area to ensure a smooth and even repair. Kwik-Crete should provide a strong, seamless finish to your control joint.

Clean Up:

Clean your tools immediately after use with appropriate cleaners to prevent the material from hardening on them.
