How
to choose a crack repair method and material Cut
out the cracks with a saw, Router, masonry grinder, or Allsaw, to form square
edged slots, and remove all dust and debris. Avoid V shaped slots - the repair
will be much weaker. Repair
Thickness - the more material that we can put in to the repair, in terms of
width and depth, the better it will be able to accommodate natural movements caused
by changing temperatures and therefore the better it will last. Caution
- Always consult a Structural Engineer and the building's Insurers before proceeding.
