Will the kit work on a crack which was patched interiorly but not exteriorly? The foundation wall in my house's basement has an 8-foot crack which was interiorly patched by the prior home owner by applying some kind of epoxy to the surface of interior...

Don, Going by the instructions, the basic premise is to start injection into the lowest port first and seal that port when the epoxy starts to push out of the port above it; this ensures the crack is filled, with no gaps. I would suggest drilling say, a quarter-inch hole (with a masonry bit) from the inside at the lowest point you would want a port. Epoxy a port right over the hole and continue this process , say every 8-10 inches, making sure the drill penetrates past where the old epoxy lies. Seal the outside of the crack as best you can, with the epoxy supplied with the kit. I think this method will be your best option, given the previous repair attempt. I hope this will be of some help.

probably not. It gets its strength from being wrapped around itself. The epoxy bonds best when wrapped not applied in a single layer. Seek a wall crack repair!!!

I think it would work. Filling the crack is essential. You can apply more to make sure the crack is filled since irt binds well to that already there.

If the crack is all the way through your tank, I believe you would need to use waterproof cement/glue first to prevent any leakage. I think this product could be used on the outside to cover up the crack so that it is not seen, but just for cosmetic purposes. I don't think this will seal any leak. It kinda' reminds me of what Liquid Paper does to unwanted marks on paper, except this covers up stuff on porcelain. I used it on my gas stove and it eventually came off, just like the original finish did. I believe it's supposed to be for high heat areas, but I'm not so impressed with it for what I got it for.

It works through walls and floors. I tried one in basement it worked just fine.

While my application was mostly to kill mold inside an interior wall where the air was part of this issue it worked in that application. It sounds like the air in you situation might not be as contained as what I had. If you could limit the air flow in the area for a day or two it should work, but you are really outside my knowledge and experience area.

It paints on like thick glue. My suggestion if it's a gap, rather than a crack, is to patch it and paint with this all over the patch.

Not that i know of. this is a sealant an glue. I have not opened it yet as the weather is not suitable for the planed use. If you are planning to paint the basement floor their are many products available. Be sure to wear a mask and use a fan to ventilate the space during and after you paint. Epoxy is flammable so turn off any gas powered equipment till the paint is dry and the fumes clear.

I believe not. It is applied to the outside. My husband did it, so I am not 100% - but I believe that it was just on the outside.

Maybe the Residential model would, I've only used the Commercial model with cement board & ceramic tile or drywall and granite panels. There hasn't been a void between the 2 materials.

I applied my epoxy on a new, unpainted floor. I followed the directions, specifically, a lot of washing and then an acid treatment. Results were great, but you need to work quickly. The less time that the "edges" (of the area you are applying) dry, the better, more seamless it looks. I also used a double amount of crystals to give it an better look. Good luck.

Possibly if you are mounting it to the exposed brick inside your house. The product is not meant for exterior use (water will get the holes if its not sealed properly and through freeze thaw cycles will most likely crack the wall of your chimney). You could try masonry anchors (there are many different kinds) carefully drilled into the brick/mortar joint so you do not crack or break the bricks. I would epoxy the anchors and the screws in for added durability but keep in mind once they are epoxied they are not coming back out later. I hope this helps but I would recommend installing this to a stud in the wall in lieu of the chimney.

We used it to seal small (1/16") cracks in concrete after mixing it with Portland cement...so far the basement has been dry even on very rainy days when before we would get several gallons of water. Have not used it directly as a paint.

Yes, you can apply it if the temperatures are 20F or below. Please note that you need to divide the sections so that you have only the width that you need. Then you need to push it INTO THE SPACE OR INTO THE CRACK for it to stay in place.

Yes. I've used it outside to replace missing mortar, reset a few loose bricks, and to patch cracks. It has worked very well for me.

Hi I've always had good luck with duct tape, just make sure it is stuck well along the crack so it doesn't leak when the epoxy heats up/kicks. Are you using a filler or just straight liquid epoxy? You probably already know this, but it's best to thicken it with one of the thickening agents, like colloidal silica. Cheers Brian

Are you saying the crack was caused by impact on the interior of the windshield? I don't see why not. The only problem I can predict is access. The dash, mirror, pillars etc. and the general con cavity of the interior may present difficulty.
