I learned more from this video than talking to a dozen "professionals". Just in time as I am about to fix some cracks in my driveway and between my carport and wall. All my questions have been answered by you. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. Tell your dad that I, as an older father, said a car is transient but a son is forever. Ride on dudes ride on!!
I can't believe that I just found and watched a video on expansion joints, just 2 weeks after buying a house that needs to have the expansion joints replaced. Thank you Michael!! Oh and I will be doing this project.
Hello @@lorenperry3726, please email your contact information to info@ctscement.com and one of our technical representatives will contact you to discuss your situation. Have a nice weekend!
Once again, the best straight forward, easy to follow instructional videos on UA-cam. Not to mention. You just changed the game on mold making. Love the videos and your passion. Keep them coming.
There’s a Game on mold making? You mean the completely unnecessary wood jij nonsense??? WTF? I worked real legit caulking companies for decades and thought I had seen it all but every single one of these caulking videos is absolutely horrible ridiculous flim flam wet tooling Dish soap??? Fin dish soap unbelievable at least this guy didn’t break out the dish soap water and finger tooling lick and stick
It took a while for this video to come out, because he was waiting for the sealant to set for so long. This is one of the very few channels I actually have notifications set for. Always a pleasure, even on mundane projects like this
“Caulk something cool” 🤣🤣🤣 was my favorite, but all of the one liners were hilarious. Your videos make my day.... always a pleasure watching you!!! 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸
I used the Sika brand sealer with painters tape and a putty knife with tape on the blade for easy clean up and tape on either side of the joint to do a neat job
A lot of value in this video. I got upset that google was reading my mind again. I fixed some cracks in my driveway today and saw my expansion joints looking busted. Thought how do I fix them. First video when I open UA-cam. After watching it, I'm glad my mind was read. The bonus mold making at the end was great too. Your video style is great. You made a boring subject pretty awesome! I think you deserve to borrow the GTX!
OMG, I LOVE your sense of humor!! I laughed so hard at the beginning of this video! I also greatly appreciate your detailed instructions on how to use this amazing product! Who sells it? I'm hoping Home Depot does as I'm going there tomorrow. I need to seal some major expansion joints in my concrete patio. Thank you so much, Michael! You made this a lot of fun!! Love you!!
This was funny and yes give him the keys to that beautiful car wow just love the old school vehicles great job man I love your videos I'm always waiting for that next video
This is the most perfect video i needed for my patio, i have ugly plastic expansion joints that need replacement and i have 3 cracks that i need to make disappear with that all purpose sand trick , thank you !!!
Oh boy, I can hardly wait to get out in the driveway and fix all those expansion joints! Thanks for all your helpful tips and a simple, concise method to your explanations (needed for clutzy people like me!).
Sooooooo useful!, Dude, I was just about to do this job because I finally de-weeded/de-ant the 1/2 acre driveway and was wonder what to use to fill the cracks with. Thanks again.
Its funny how things work out. The expansion joints in my driveway need to be resealed. I have been looking for the correct way to do it, and then video came up in my youtube feed. Perfect timing. Home Depot has Rapid Set in stock, so I have my weekend project. Thanks for the information.
I followed the above video and the product worked as described. It is awesome stuff. One later it looks the same, no cracks just a tight seal. Love it. Thanks Micheal, you da man!!
Wow, loved the sand tip for my application which is expansion joints in a patio of an older home. Loved your fun sense of humor and the creative mold idea as well. Thanks ever so much.
@@MichaelBuilds May I ask where in Mi you are? I’m in Rochester, but have lived from St. Clair Shores, to New Baltimore, to Lake Orion, and more. Put up your hand and point to where you are!
Awesome content. My porch has actually cracked and shifted because of water in the expansion joint. I'm so happy about this video I'll fix my joints this week! Thx
Dude!!! Amazing Video!!!!!! So glad I watched till the end, The Concrete mold pour blew me away, Amazing Job! Dad he Gets the GTX for a day! But he has to buy new Rear Tires afterward. Thank you for an amazing Video.
DAYUM! I built an outdoor kitchen island counter top from your first video 2years?? ago. Never worked with concrete before, but copied you like a zerox. Right down to the compass and "vein" design. Still looks great today. My joint repair on the same patio looks horrible. Time to copy again
Thanks for this great video. I recently had my dad try to help me do some crack filling and we did ok but wish I saw this beforehand. You made it fun and thanks for the laughs at the end.
Holy sh_t,that was great at the end.. Did flat work for years, only 1 kind of expansion product held up. Bi- tuminus Asphalt pp. ( different names of it across the country).. Gonna try this ,1 thing I would like to add. When applying any product with a sequential pump presure tool . ( calk gun ),cant make this up . From school books I got when going through my union mason apprentice ship. As printed: always apply sealant,grout, or polymer in foward motion from tip . Yeah didn't do that Until this huge job at the college. Once you become comfortable shooting foward,what a difference your end product becomes. Thanx so much for the info. Enjoyed it. Brought back memories. Keep up the great work. Btw loved the car!!
Thank you was looking for a video about this. Made something that I thought would be much harder not as intimidating. Btw favorite part was those darn birds
Great video. Thanks to the magic of UA-cam, this vid appeared in my feed days before me taking on a pool deck project with the exact same application. Thanks for the lesson, Michael!
Great video sir. I was looking at buying the rubber Trim-A-Slab expansion joints but a lot of the reviews said that they shrink over time, which would be unacceptable. This method seems like the superior way to go for me. The tip about using sand to camouflage some of the cracks was a bonus as I was going to hire someone to cut them out and replace.
Duuuuuuude-uh! I have been sealing and resealing my expansion joints for years! I hope this product is available in Canada. Now show us how to seal split concrete steps (split where the tread meets the riser), pleeeease!
Well, the ole algorithm knew I was looking for tips to do this right the first time. Not only is the information good but the video/editing/presentation are all superb! I notice what appears to be guitar forms and I think an offset body on the wall. You build guitars too? I have it's very rewarding when you complete one.

Agreed; great video, concise telling you what you need and why you need it
Michael, this has got to be one of the BEST youTube videos I have ever watched on any subject, good job!
Wow! Thank you so much Jon!
I totally agree 👍 👌.
You are the only person that makes sense for my project
Thank you. By far the best instructions on UA-cam. All info with no life story about why they’re making a video on caulking.
Thank you!
I can't believe that I just found and watched a video on expansion joints, just 2 weeks after buying a house that needs to have the expansion joints replaced. Thank you Michael!! Oh and I will be doing this project.
Is there any need sealant, sir? We are Top 1 silicone sealant manufacturer in China.
We always appreciate your shout-out to our products Michael Builds! Your enthusiasm and knowledge of the product is amazing! Keep it up!
Hello @@lorenperry3726, please email your contact information to info@ctscement.com and one of our technical representatives will contact you to discuss your situation. Have a nice weekend!
He didn't provide any links as to where to buy your product.
@@livenfreeyou can purchase this product at The Home Depot. Have a great week.
If you guys are not his sponsor yet you need to start forking over some money lol
You are fast, efficient and right to the point. Others just KEEP TALKING FOREVER. Thank you.
Once again, the best straight forward, easy to follow instructional videos on UA-cam. Not to mention. You just changed the game on mold making. Love the videos and your passion. Keep them coming.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I want to do another video exploring more about using the sealant as a mold making material soon
@@MichaelBuilds this is chris. Miss seeing you at Mad Hts HD what is the heat resistance of that stuff. Small aluminum pour?
@@Smath1313 hey Chris! There doesn’t seem to be any info about the heat resistance. I’ll have to poke around..

That’s AWESOME!!! Thank you so much!
I agree 100%!
RAPID SET
Exactly what I was looking for.
Thank You Man!
Great advice and very understandable. I was able to fix two large gaps and save a lot by watching this video and doing the job myself.
“Caulk something cool” 🤣🤣🤣 was my favorite, but all of the one liners were hilarious. Your videos make my day.... always a pleasure watching you!!! 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸
Very cool 1969 Plymouth GTX, I have a 1968 clone and drive it every week. Great tips for cement joint sealing, I'll be trying this on a driveway.
I used the Sika brand sealer with painters tape and a putty knife with tape on the blade for easy clean up and tape on either side of the joint to do a neat job
Great sense of humor. Good tips & visuals. Dad should be proud.
I knew that material was awesome. But the mold making made it super awesome.
First time I saw your channel, and I am completely addicted. You make projects soooo much fun. Thanks.
THANK YOU! And welcome to the channel! ☺️
I need to do this around my pool, thanks for the instructions.
This video is great!!! I love how you move along quickly, something other DIY videos do not do. No time wasted watching this.

Your attitude is most excellent.
Your tips and tricks are magic..
Have a great life.
That looks like some amazing stuff! Making a mold with it looks genius. I like the 'blooper' clip at the end. Nice touch.
Sand over the crack filler! The most excellent tip EVER. Thank you.
Great video! Your intro was really funny.
Lol 😂 thank you so much!
I found you just in time! Love that the sand disguised the repair.
The BEST most informative video on this topic!
OMG, I LOVE your sense of humor!! I laughed so hard at the beginning of this video! I also greatly appreciate your detailed instructions on how to use this amazing product! Who sells it?

Thank you so much Ben!
Best video on crack filling out there. I wish I'd watched this one first. it would have saved me a lot of work.
How long does the self leveling takes to dry?
That sand tip is so genius!
I love your videos. Was excited to hear you know Jason Eller. We went to high school together. Another very talented man.
Thank you! This is an amazing step by step video for people like me. Really appreciate it.
This is the most perfect video i needed for my patio, i have ugly plastic expansion joints that need replacement and i have 3 cracks that i need to make disappear with that all purpose sand trick , thank you !!!
You are not only good in your presentation and thoroughness but funny. Keep up the good work Michael.
So glad you're making vids again. This was a really good one too. I didn't know expansion joint repair could be so fun!
Dude! Great job on the video and I can't believe I watched it to the end. Now I'll start my repair in my driveway! Again, great job.
Oh boy, I can hardly wait to get out in the driveway and fix all those expansion joints! Thanks for all your helpful tips and a simple, concise method to your explanations (needed for clutzy people like me!).

How is it right now? Mine was trashed after about 3 years.
Very well put together. Michael Builds - You made an awesome presentation, one of the best instructional videos I've come across. Thank You!
Wow, loved the sand tip for my application which is expansion joints in a patio of an older home. Loved your fun sense of humor and the creative mold idea as well. Thanks ever so much.
Great video!!! I actually watched an entire video on sealing an expansion joint....
I appreciate you thorough exploration of this topic.
You my friend are the man. I love your tips on caulking a driveway. However the coolest part was making the mold. That is top notch.
Thank you
You seriously make some great content. Appreciate you taking the time to put what you have together.
This guy is clueless
Hey from Michigan. Getting a kick out of your videos! Going to tackle my front cement steps soon and laughing while learning. Great job!

It's so nice to see a perfectionist at work .. and I say this as an ultimate complement. Cheers .....
Just ready to do it today when I ran into this video. Cool tips ! Thank you !
Awesome tips michael! Wish i watched this b4 doing my cracks last year. The sand dusting was a great tip!
Thank you for this informative and entertaining video
Thank you so much! I start doing this tomorrow and you have given me all the knowledge that I'll be needing. Not all heros wear capes lol
Thanks for the video. I need to re-do the expansion joints around my pool deck and thus came looking for advice.
Loved the comedy, and the commercial
Michael, thank you very much, this is the video I am looking for a long time.
Great video, nice car !! I need to seal my driveway...again. Great tip on hiding small cracks with sand. Thanks
Great tips....I’ve screwed up so many joints over the years. Thanks brother! Love that mold trick!
Love the GTX.... Thank you for caulking tutorial.
Very educational and you have a great personality that keeps the lesson from getting boring. 2 thumbs up! 👍👍
Super fun and instructive. I don't have any expansion joints to fill, but I'm gonna make some just so I can do this.
Thank you, you just save me a lot of money. Very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Dude!!! Amazing Video!!!!!! So glad I watched till the end, The Concrete mold pour blew me away, Amazing Job! Dad he Gets the GTX for a day! But he has to buy new Rear Tires afterward. Thank you for an amazing Video.
Wow you just helped me solve 2 problems at once ...thanks
Great video. The non-sag sealant is what I was looking for with a few of my remaining vertical spots that I can't use the self-leveling on.
Nice tips! Love video! Cool outro would be you and your dad rolling at and hitting the streets in that beauty!
Thank you for the helpful tips.
DAYUM! I built an outdoor kitchen island counter top from your first video 2years?? ago. Never worked with concrete before, but copied you like a zerox. Right down to the compass and "vein" design. Still looks great today. My joint repair on the same patio looks horrible. Time to copy again
love you last mold making, I will use that trick to make stepping stones for the garden
Thanks for this great video. I recently had my dad try to help me do some crack filling and we did ok but wish I saw this beforehand. You made it fun and thanks for the laughs at the end.
Hey Pop, don't let Michael touch your car! (Excellent video by the way)
Holy sh_t,that was great at the end..
Did flat work for years, only 1 kind of expansion product held up. Bi- tuminus
Asphalt pp. ( different names of it across the country)..
Gonna try this ,1 thing I would like to add. When applying any product with a sequential pump presure tool .
( calk gun ),cant make this up . From school books I got when going through my union mason apprentice ship.
As printed: always apply sealant,grout, or polymer in foward motion from tip .
Yeah didn't do that
Until this huge job at the college. Once you become comfortable shooting foward,what a difference your end product becomes.
Thanx so much for the info. Enjoyed it.
Brought back memories. Keep up the great work.
Btw loved the car!!
Love the trick at the end mold trick
LOVE a nice GTX, he should definitely let you take it for a spin!
Thanks for the cool trick with the sand.
Thank you was looking for a video about this. Made something that I thought would be much harder not as intimidating. Btw favorite part was those darn birds
Great Video - you have a special skill at making really good video’s! Keep them coming
Great video. Thanks to the magic of UA-cam, this vid appeared in my feed days before me taking on a pool deck project with the exact same application. Thanks for the lesson, Michael!
Yes excellent project I will watch it again you’re the best guy in the UA-cam
Thank you so much for that!!!
I have some work to do now. Great video

Duuuuuuude-uh! I have been sealing and resealing my expansion joints for years! I hope this product is available in Canada.
Now show us how to seal split concrete steps (split where the tread meets the riser), pleeeease!
Great video - but the end made it that much better - time to make some molds!
Oo! Mold making material!, game changer!
GRACIAS, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND,,I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS VIDEO...
Well, the ole algorithm knew I was looking for tips to do this right the first time. Not only is the information good but the video/editing/presentation are all superb!

SO helpful. Best video for a newbie amateur like me. Thank you!!!!
Got some talent there buddy
I like the mold making idea
Very creative
