What happens here

After the polyurea filler has sufficiently cured (refer to product instructions for cure time), the next step is to grind or shave the overfilled areas flush with the surrounding concrete floor. This process eliminates any bumps or ridges, creating a perfectly smooth and level surface that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the floor. The video shows a worker using a specialized grinding tool with a dust collection hose, demonstrating this critical step for achieving a seamless finish ready for coating.

Goal: Level the cured filler with the concrete floor for a smooth surface.

What they say

it's curing is designed to control when the concrete's shrinking and the cracking. And if you look down in that control joint, usually you see that's where your crack is. We can't see it here cuz you did a great job filling it. Control joints, absolutely once that window of the concrete curing, depending on how thick it is, is over, they can be filled, grinded, shaved flush, whatever system you're using, and then they can be coated over the top. It's expansion joints,
