What happens here

Once the cracks and saw cuts have been successfully widened by crack chasing, the next phase involves filling and finishing them. First, partially fill the deepened V-grooves with sand. Following this, pour polyurea filler over the sand, ensuring it completely fills and slightly overfills the grooves. Use a trowel to evenly spread and level the polyurea filler, ensuring a smooth surface. After the polyurea filler has fully cured according to manufacturer specifications, use a grinder to grind down any excess filler, making it perfectly flush with the surrounding concrete surface. This meticulous filling and grinding process makes all the saw cuts and cracks visually disappear, creating a perfectly seamless and polished base for your final resinous floor coating.

Goal: Create a smooth, level, and seamless surface over filled cracks and saw cuts.
