Fill in control joints?

[jasonvt]

I plan to epoxy-coat my floor. I have emailed them to ask this but havent heard back. Can anyone recommend the best product to use to fill in the control joints in my garage? I want to have a seamless floor - I just think that would look better. Any reason I shouldnt do this? More prone to cracking or anything?

I recommend reading this -

Epoxy-coat recommends latex caulk (no silicone) with backer rod

thanks. got anything smaller? I only have 72' of cracks. $119 seems excessive if I will only use 1/4 of the gallon

There are other products out there that cost less but they aren't going to provide enough material for what you need. RustOleum makes a polyurea joint filler with a good elongation factor for around $50 as an example, but it is only 9oz. You need a minimum of 32 oz. for a quarter gallon.

It's good for small holes too. Perhaps you have other repairs?

You can get a tube of DAP concrete caulk at HD for about $8 or so that will work with it

How about Vulkem from HD? About $6 a tube.
