Joint filler - like HD/Lowes?

[soapii]

I want to fill the sawcut joints in my garage and I do not plan to epoxy the floor so I wanted something similar to a big box store like HD/Lowes. Almost looks like the stuff used in their application is applied with a caulk gun.

I did a bunch of searching and it looks like a majority of people recommend the Legacy Ind HD-821 filler but that looks too "watery" to me and almost seems like it gets applied with a joint knife similar to mudding drywall. I am hoping for a more bead like application.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

If you want something you can apply with a caulking gun then I would recommend Sikaflex. You can find it from HD here. It's a polyurethane sealant that has elasticity to it but cures hard. It's also gray in color if that is what you are looking for and it can be sanded or ground if necessary.

I never recommend anything made with latex because it will eventually shrink and pull away from the edges or sink with time.

Thanks Shae. Would you recommend the "Crack Sealant" or the "Self Leveling Sealant".

We carry a great product that cures about 3x stronger than concrete. Easy to apply and can be ground or sanded if you goof a bit. Flexible products can't be easily touched up.

We sell this product to floor polishing companies which is what the home centers do to their floors.

I just went to the local HD and grabbed a case (12) of the 29oz Sikaflex Self Leveling Sealant tubes.

I'll take some pics of the before/after in case others are looking to do the same.

How deep are your cut lines? That self leveling stuff will sink to the bottom so you will have to fill the entire groove. That can bee a LOT of material unless you stuff some backer rod in there.

Sawcuts are 1" deep and 1/8" wide. I have 200' of 1/4" closed cell backer rod to place prior to filling the rest of the joints with the self leveling sealer. My plan is to put the backer rod 1/2" deep and filling the top half of the sawcut with the sealer.
