    I've used Quikrete's product for years and am very happy with it. You can get it at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.

    Here is the product:

    All concrete will crack eventually. Once your wall gets a crack no patch will ever hold as well as the original wall. So I am thinking you want to make it just look better, right? Roughly how large is the crack, can you stick a matchbook cover into the crack or your whole finger?

    Hi, Thanks for your response, the cracks are small, a little wider then a matchbook cover but not as wide as my finger and they are long, any suggestions?
