Hairline cracks.....

[4everRS]

I'm going to do epoxy but have some hairline cracking. Ok, maybe some are more than hairline, but they are small. Will 2 coats of epoxy fill them in? Or do I have to fill them with something else. They are too small for play sand to go in them.

Ok. I was going to insert an image from photo bucket. Haven't done that in a while. They say I need to upgrade my account.

How are you guys inserting images?

Negative. Coatings rarely fill cracks unless you are using a "bridging primer".
Coating concrete is similar to body-work on a car. Issues will telegraph through.

Ok. Thanks for the reply. The cracks are filled.

Do tell?! What did you fill them with?

I have the same issue on my floor what did you end up filling the cracks with looks good!

I'll find out tomorrow. I had a guy do the prep and had him fill them. I remember him saying it was an epoxy resin.

Meanwhile. Here's the first coat...

looking good so far, I hope the cracks don't come back to haunt you.

Agree with above, always do repairs first as liquid coatings will generally do very little to repair a floor.

Looks like they will be hidden by the next coat. However without expansion joints they may come back in places. I wouldn't get too concerned though even if they do.
