    Concrete Cracks Repair
    What type of cement should you buy, to fix small crack. Is a mortar type better that aggregate.
    It must be smooth. Is there a ready made mix for this type of repair in the marketplace?

    I have to ask if this is inside or outside and can you give us an idea of how large the crack or cracks are?

    There are several different "preffered" methods based on how large it is and the location. A repair for a garage floor can be different from a driveway or walkway.

    Keep us posted.
