Hello to all! I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but when it comes to fixing cracked concrete on my own, it's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole - tricky! I tried, and I tried, but I always had to return to fix the same cracks no matter what solution I applied (such as Concrete Expansion Joint Filler or Polyurethane Construction Crack Flexible Sealant). My tip? Sometimes, it's best to bite the bullet and call in the pros. Trust me, I learned the hard way. A professional touch can make all the difference, saving you time, sweat, and tears. So, grab that phone, dial up a skilled concrete repair expert, and let them work their magic. Your future self will thank you! Happy fixing!

Hi, thanks for the informative video! I have a stone firepit that is cracked on the bottom. Basically it has a 3-4 inch hole. How would I fix that? If I just follow your video the parge will fall through the hole. Thanks!
