Default concrete contraction joints

I have a question for all you concrete wizards out there. I am
renovating a concrete pool deck. Some contraction joints are 1 inch
wide with some vertical displacement of the slab. This deck is to be
covered with a 1/8" thickspray applied elastomeric material. My
question is: Can I filland and level these contraction joints using
an outdoor levelling compound? I realise that this may eventually
crack, but the crack cannot travel through the surface coating. Does
anyone foresee any problems. please note that I am talking here about
contraction joints, and not expansion joints that connected to a
building or other structure where movement is essential.

Thanks an advanced

Grahame
