A cracked pool or concrete slab is stressful. You want a fix that holds. At Torque Lock in Agoura Hills, CA, we make Crack Fix Epoxy for concrete crack repair that lasts. It pairs with our staple system to give you the final fix for cracks in concrete.
Our epoxy is used by pros on 7 continents. It works on pools, spas, fountains, concrete foundations, garage floors, and more. It acts as both a bonding sealant and a crack filler in one. Below we break down how it works, when to use it, and why pros pick our crack repair kits and full epoxy concrete repair kit bundles.
What Is Crack Fix Epoxy?
Crack Fix Epoxy is a 2-part resin adhesive. You mix the two parts, then push the epoxy into the crack. The epoxy resin soaks in, bonds, and hardens. Once it cures, the repair is tight and strong.
Our Crack Fix Epoxy comes as a cartridge with a tip. You load it into a standard caulk gun. The low viscosity epoxy flows deep into small cracks. That gives you strong adhesion and a solid concrete patch.
Full cure time is up to 50 minutes. Store it between 41°F and 77°F. Always check the label for the full steps.
When to Use Epoxy for Concrete Crack Repair
Epoxy works best on cracks that are not moving. If the crack is stable, epoxy is a great pick. Use it for:
- Small cracks in pool shells and spas
- Cracks in concrete foundation walls
- Basement wall cracks and garage floor cracks
- Slab cracks from settling
- Setting Torque Lock staples into place
For active or wide cracks, you need more than epoxy. That is where our staple system comes in. We explain that below.
What Comes in the Crack Fix Epoxy Kit
Our crack repair kit is simple. No extra parts to buy. Here is what you get:
How to Apply Our Epoxy Crack Repair Kit
Easy application is the goal. Here are the basic steps. Always read the label first.
- Clean the crack with compressed air. Remove loose dust and chips.
- Chase out bigger gouges. Use a scraper or wire brush.
- Load the cartridge into a caulk gun. Fit the mixing tip.
- Dispense a small test bead to check the mix.
- Inject epoxy deep into the crack. Keep the tip in the crack.
- Smooth the top with a trowel.
- Let it cure. Full cure can take up to 50 minutes.
For a clean finish on pools, you can use our epoxy with a tint or sand to match the surface. Some pros top it with plaster or Marcite after the epoxy cures.
Why Epoxy Alone Is Not Always Enough
Here is the truth many repair contractors will not tell you. Epoxy injection is strong. But epoxy alone is rigid. If the slab keeps moving, the crack can come back right next to the old one. That leads to new crack lines and more repair attempts.
Our founder Darren Merlob saw this in 2004. He was fed up with epoxy injection, rebar, and other fixes that failed. So he built the Torque Lock Staple. It is the only controlled post tension staple on the market.
“The Torque Lock Staple is the Final Fix for cracks. Epoxy fills the gap. The staple holds the two sides together.” Torque Lock Systems
Each staple adds up to 5,000 lbs of compression torque. Paired with our Crack Fix Epoxy, you get a repair that stays put.
Epoxy vs. Other Crack Repair Options
Not sure what to use? Here is a quick look at how epoxy stacks up against other concrete repair picks.
Features of Our Crack Fix Epoxy
Our epoxy was made with pros in mind. It is also easy for DIY users. The cartridge works with any standard caulk gun applicator. Here are the key specs:
- 2-part epoxy with built-in mixing tip
- Low viscosity for deep flow into tight cracks
- Quick cure (up to 50 mins for full cure)
- Low odor and multi-purpose
- Strong adhesion to concrete, Gunite, and masonry
- Good elongation and elasticity when paired with staples
- Works with sand or silica, or without sand for tint control
- Waterproof once cured
- Pairs well with repair mortar for deep patch fills
It holds up like the top trade brands (such as Sikadur epoxy resin from Sika). But it is built to work with our Torque Lock system out of the box.
Crack Fix Epoxy vs. Sikadur and Other Brands
Pros often ask how our epoxy stacks up to other names. Both are used for epoxy concrete repair. Both set fast and bond well. The key difference? Our Crack Fix is made for pool and structural work with our staples. It is tested with the Cam Lock system. No guesswork.
For general epoxy floor jobs, a resurfacer or clear epoxy may be all you need. For spalls, cracks in concrete, and pool shells, Crack Fix Epoxy is the smart call. It works well with urethane and carbon fiber add-ons too.
When You Need More: Pair Epoxy With Torque Lock Staples
If your crack is wide, moving, or keeps coming back, epoxy alone will not last. Here is what to do:
- Install Torque Lock Staples across the crack
- Use Crack Fix Epoxy to seal and bond the staple in place
- Add Crack Seal Flexible Membrane on top if it is a pool
This combo gives you a tensile, high-strength repair. The staples add clamping force. The epoxy fills the crack. The membrane keeps water out. You get an excellent crack repair that lasts.
