How to repair hairline cracks in the concrete?
To repair a hairline crack on a concrete structure, one must fill the gap with a material that bonds well to the concrete, restores its original appearance, and prevents liquids from penetrating inside and staining the concrete.
The process involves several steps, beginning with cleaning the cracked surface and making it moist before applying the sealant. The sealant is prepared by mixing cement with water or any other suitable adhesive with low surface tension and viscosity. The sealant is then forced inside the crack using a pointing trowel or putty knife, and any excess material is smoothened and leveled. Finally, the sealed cracks need to be cured by covering them with a board or plastic sheet for at least five days and sprinkling water on the surface daily.
