Filling cracks in garage floor

[GerryinBelleRiver]

I have an older home and I am looking to put a coating on the garage floor which has 3 or 4 wide cracks. The cracks are about 1/4" wide and appear to have been filled with caulk of some kind that has come out in a lot of places. I would like to remove the caulking and fill with something more appropriate.

Question is what should I use to fill the cracks?

I will probably top coat with some concrete paint as the floor was previously painted and the paint is still on about 50% of the floor. The garage rarely sees a vehicle but I do have a lot of heavy woodworking equipment on mobile stands that gets moved around a lot. The other reason I will probably paint is that I can only free up 1/3 to 1/2 of the space at a time and I am not sure I could get a clean joint with epoxy.

Comments and suggestions welcomed

Thanks

Check out the 44 Frame shop thread - cracks just add character to the shop

I'd suggest hydraulic cement, but its likely nothing will really last all that long in a floor that's already cracked.

If you have some pictures it would help. There are some great products through any of the epoxy people for repairing. I would go with whatever brand of epoxy you are going to use.

We have an excellent epoxy crack filler. Very easy to use and is compatible with epoxies and paints. Prep: strike any thin weak edges, vac the debris.

I was at a Detroit Tiger game last month and noticed one area inside the stadium where they crack-chased the cracks about a half inch wide, filled it with a quality joint filler (caulk) like Seal Bond and all the people traffic turned it dark gray/black and it kinda looks like tiger stripes. Also, in my world, Mother Nature wins 100% of the time.
