QUESTION:Can PERMA·CRETE® be used to fill wide cracks that are the same depth as a concrete slab?
ANSWER:If a crack is wider than 3/8" and through the slab, fill the crack from the bottom of the slab to within 1" of the surface with PERMA·CRETE® Matrix Mixture prior to repairing the crack. If the crack is 1/8" or 3/8" wide, fill the entire crack from the top to the bottom of the slab with Perma·Bond and coarse sand.
QUESTION:Can Perma·Seal Stain Sealer be applied over solvent-base Concrete Clear Sealer?
ANSWER:Concrete Clear Sealer is a solvent-base sealer that dries to a clear, abrasion resistant film. Since Perma·Seal Stain Sealer is a water-base sealer, it cannot penetrate or adhere properly to the solvent-base sealer and may later delaminate from the previous concrete sealer surface.
QUESTION:How can the amount of PERMA·CRETE® needed to fill (parge) low spots on a concrete surface be calculated?
ANSWER:One mixed 40 pound bag of Matrix Mix covers approximately 10 square feet at a depth of 3/8".
