What happens here

This DIY project provides detailed instructions for preparing a concrete floor, such as a garage floor, by properly widening and cleaning existing cracks and saw cuts. This crucial initial step, known as 'crack chasing,' ensures a seamless and polished finish when applying a resinous floor coating like Torginol. The process involves using a specialized crack chasing tool with a diamond V-cut blade, connected to a dust extraction system, to create V-shaped grooves, which are then filled with sand and polyurea filler, troweled smooth, and finally ground flush with the surface.
