Cracked Concrete driveway...cheap solution.
My 45 year old concrete two-lane circle drive is cracked all over the
place. It's still fairly level and easy enough to drive on, but it's really ugly. To replace it would cost a fortune, is there any cheaper alternative, like a skim coat or to asphalt over the top or something? |

If you coat it with something, the coating will eventually crack in the
same places. |

Cracked Concrete driveway...cheap solution.
There are companies that will put a semi-elastic coating on the
driveway. I have seen driveways that look very nice when finished. Fine a reputable installer. http://www.concretenetwork.com/concr...ep_by_step.htm wrote: My 45 year old concrete two-lane circle drive is cracked all over the place.

Okay, You owe me a big thank you for running outside to the shop to read the
can of **** that worked good for me. It's called Stone Mason Instant patching Cement and I also google the stuff for ya and here's the link. http://www.usehickson.com/StoneMason...ngCement.shtml I have fixed the cement floor in my garage and I park a 1 ton dually on it and the crack has never reappeared. I also went over sidewalk palm prints from the pervious residents that owned this place before I bought it. I bought like a 1 gallon paint tin of it and this **** really goes far...I have lots left...When you open the can it kind of shocks you as you expect it to be a liquid, but it's a powder that you mix with water....Works great !! Hope that was of some help....Jimi wrote in message ups.com... My 45 year old concrete two-lane circle drive is cracked all over the place.

What is silicon gel? What product names is it sold under? I've only seen
concrete-based products... LT ------------- "Chris" wrote in message ... Silicon Gel Cheap and easy. Can do it yourself |
