1. Before apply the polyurethane caulking, make sure all the cracks and expansion joints are dry, clean and free from debris.
2. If the crack is small, you have to use a CRACK CHASER DIAMOND BLADE open up the crack. This way, the polyurethane caulking can get in to the crack stick tightly and firm.
3. If the cracks or expansion joints are bigger, you can use backer rod foam to prevent sinking the polyurethane caulking until it cure. When inserting the backer rod, you will want to make sure it is installed at least a 1/2" below the surface of the concrete, to give room for the polyurethane caulking to stick.
