What happens here
After the initial grinding reveals all imperfections, existing cracks and control joints in the concrete need to be addressed. The video shows applying a specialized liquid filler into these cracks using a brush, followed by broadcasting fine sand over the wet filler. This filler (likely an epoxy or polyurea joint filler) strengthens the cracks, prevents their propagation, and creates a seamless base. The sand helps with adhesion of subsequent layers and provides a textured surface for the next grinding step.
Goal: Stabilize and fill all cracks and control joints for a seamless foundation.
