Will this prevent water from coming up through the crack? We are repairing basement cracks and in heavy rain the water table rises...there are springs underground...and water seeps in. Actually..water can sometimes come in at the seam of the wall and the floor! We are in California earthquake country which may have initiated the problem.
How’s this hood up in cold winters like New England ? We always have heaving when the ground freezes. As a mason ive yet to find something that holds up for a good amount of time
He answered that ..several times. Fill with the TF structural, let it harden to semi-firm, add mesh and another thin layer of the TF structural, let that harden, then coat the entire surface for an even finish. 😘
This is such a bro-science approach to not really fixing any problem but just putting a bandaid on it, charging a fortune, and making it look nice for the short term haha
That's not true at all. The problem was fixed, the repair is still there to this day, and the customer paid FAR less than they would have to rip it out and replace it. I'm not sure I'm understanding your comment...
You made a very good video for 2023

Thanks for the followup on my questions with this video.
You bet!
This product looks great, but might be cost prohibitive for me. What's the approximate cost for 10 bags to Texas?
If the crack comes through the overlay, what is the best way to seal it so water doesn't cause further damage?
Where did you buy this kind of flexible mesh tape?
Amazon or Home Depot has it

Holds up no problem. Check out this video, and please see the others on our channel.

Really good video again
Appreciate that!
if you have sprayed the cracks with a pressure washer to clean out dirt and mud, do they have to be dried fully before application?
No, they can be damp
Do you wet the surface of the old substrate just before applying the overlay?
You can, but it is not required.
you guys rock God bless yu I need this tobsave $$$ where can I buy both thick and thin TF structural?
You can buy it directly from us, and if buying smaller sizes, you can buy it from Amazon. Thanks
Excellent Video thank you
Can I put this product over an exposed aggregate patio? Whoever made the patio lefts the rocks too exposed and it hurts to walk on.
Yes, but you have to make sure there is no sealer on the patio first. We have other decorative options too. Please email me!

What is the flexible tape materiel?
What ambient temperature, and how many working hours did you work with this product? Was it five or more hours of acceptable product temperature?
This product can be installed below freezing, and the working time is only about 10-20 minutes before the material begins to cure
Near the end of the video looks like it was being applied over asphalt… does it work over asphalt?
no. It will bond to it, but eventually spider-crack, as the asphalt is too flexible.
can you put mesh over the whole driveway?
You can if you want to, not sure the reason too though…
Can you add pigment to the skim coat?
You can, but it fades over time. You can add sealers to help bring out the color, but then you require maintenance coats with the sealer.
Can you colour the skim coat?
Yes, but it will fade and lighten as the product cures. Best to use a concrete sealer after to brighten the colour
Is this product available in United States? If so where can it be purchased?
You can buy on amazon, or directly from us if you need larger quantities.
Thanks
I have a 16 x 52 sq ft Driveway. How many bags would I need? Thats 832sq ft.
About 20 bags would do it, as long as it’s not in rough shape. With deep spalling, you’ll need some more.
how soon is the drive repair open to traffic?
1-2 hours, depends on temperature. 👍
Did this end up working?
Yes, here it is after some use ua-cam.com/video/-RACYCLKqA4/v-deo.html
Do you have to wash the concrete to prep it?
Yes, power wash, or diamond grind. Nice and clean, porous, sound concrete is what you need 👍
@@TerrafuseInc So it doesn't need to be etched with an etcher?
Right
These are not links need links to products you cannot copy and paste in UA-cam
What links do you need? Terrafuse.com is our website, and if you want to buy the material off amazon, just search there for TF Structural
"You pre-fill the crack" WITH WHAT?
He answered that ..several times. Fill with the TF structural, let it harden to semi-firm, add mesh and another thin layer of the TF structural, let that harden, then coat the entire surface for an even finish. 😘
