How easy is it to work with?
Do a small part of the crack at a time for longer cracks?

Hey Scott and FB, I got the kit directly from the mfg. It was $115 with the sand.

Emecole Metro Small-Sized Slab Crack Repair Kit

it is very easy to work with. it does require 4-6 minutes of shaking but I have a paint shaker so just threw it in that. The video above shows how easy it is. I worked quickly as the epoxy can set in the mixing tube but didn't have any problems. I did two big cracks and one small. I did each crack at a time filling them up. I like the sand which is supposed to make the fix stronger.

I like that it's not a HD or Lowes product, more of a contractor product, and structural. If at HD/L am sure there would be a lot of customer service returns and complaints because most people wouldn't watch the video or have any idea how to work with this.

I used only half of the one of the tubes. It can keep once opened.

I may try sanding it away next weekend, will report back.
