- [Announcer] Cracked concrete may let in water and soil gases,
causing damage to your home. Fix those cracks yourself
with DRICORE's easy, three step system that seals
and reinforces your concrete, making it stronger than new. Step one, prep. Step two, inject. Step three, reinforce. It's as easy as that. Now, depending on your specific project, you might need these power tools. (upbeat music) To complete the job
safely and efficiently, you'll also need these items. (upbeat music) Measure and mark seven inches
on each side of the crack, and then grind within that marked area to expose the aggregate. Any caulk, paint, latex, or other sealants should also be removed. Starting at the bottom of the crack, measure and mark every 18 inches, the injection port locations. Then take off the cap
from each port you'll use, and set aside. Next, insert the DRICORE
PRO Concrete Crack Prep into the dual cartridge gun. Remove the cap, screw on the nozzle, and dispense a small
amount of the Crack Prep onto a disposable work surface, such as cardboard or a painter's tray. Put on gloves, and roll the
entire flat edge of the port in the Crack Prep, making sure not to plug
the hole in the port. Firmly press the port
directly over the crack on the locations you marked,
and repeat as necessary. Next, evenly dispense the
DRICORE PRO Concrete Crack Prep in 18 inch sections. Spread the epoxy two inches
on each side of the crack using the plastic putty knife. At the port locations, apply the epoxy around the entire port, until the port base is no longer visible. Allow at least one hour
for the epoxy to cure. It must be dry to the
touch before proceeding. Insert the DRICORE PRO
Concrete Crack Injection into the dual cartridge gun. Remove the cap, and screw on the nozzle. Insert the nozzle into
the first injection port at the bottom of the crack,
and slowly dispense the product until you see it coming
out of the next port above. Remove the nozzle, cap the port, and proceed to the next
one, repeating the process, moving up the crack port by port. Allow 24 hours for the product to cure. Once it's dry, lightly knock
off the ports with the hammer. With gloves on, hold the dry carbon fiber and drape it down the crack, using scissors to cut off any excess. Insert the DRICORE PRO epoxy adhesive into the dual cartridge gun, and working top to bottom,
apply the epoxy to the wall, about six inches on
either side of the crack. Using the plastic putty knife,
evenly spread the epoxy. Starting at the top of the crack, embed the carbon fiber onto the epoxy, using the putty knife to push
the carbon fiber onto the wall and letting the epoxy fully penetrate it. Then apply another layer of
the DRICORE PRO epoxy adhesive over the top of the carbon fiber. With light strokes, use the putty knife to evenly spread the epoxy, focusing on the edges for a
clean and secure installation. Allow eight hours to dry, at which time, the carbon
fiber may be painted with regular latex paint. DRICORE PRO Concrete Repair seals and reinforces cracked concrete, making it stronger than new.
