How should I fill these cracks?

[DYNA BILL]

I have a standard 2 car garage. I don't do much work in there other than the occasional woodworking project. It is mainly used as my man cave. There are times that I find necessary to clean and rinse the floor with a garden hose. The expansion joints of which there are 2 that cross in the middle have the usual crack that lets water to run into while hosing it down. I have no desire to make these joints smooth, but I just want to run a bead of something into the crack to keep water from going down into it. I have 4 tubes of the caulking shown in the pics that I would like to use, but is there something better suited for this purpose or will this stuff be adequate for the job? Thanks. Pics below:

I had the same problem and I used Sikaflex SL Proffesional self leveling sealant. It comes in tubes just like caulk and I used the gray for when I paint my floor in the fall. It's made just for concrete expansion joints. I got it at Home Depot. I also used it in my expansion joint where my driveway connects to my garage floor. It's been in for almost a year and between the winter freeze thaw and some pressure washing it still looks new.

This comes in a huge tube, made for pool decks, driveways etc

Bill is stating the truth here folks!!!!

His garage is like Las Vegas, as in what goes on there, stays there!

I would use Sikaflex or something designed especially for concrete and paint the floors before you install the stripper pole!

You do realize if you were to paint and seal that floor it would be a lot easier to clean up after the ladies **** oil wrestling!?!?!

 

[DYNA BILL]

Joints should be as water tight as a frog's *** now. Couldn't find Sikaflex, so I ran and got this:

Don't let him fool you...

He parks his harley in there, so he needs to be able to wash the oil off the floor every now and then!

I wish I was that good! I just squirted it out of the gun, then smoothed it with my thumb.
(No wise cracks, you other guys!)

Haha, hard to tell whether to poster a serious comment or one about the majority of the thread

Bead looks great. I use Sikaflex quite a lot and love it. When smoothing caulk I use clear dish soap instead of the spit method and it works wonders.
