How to Fill Narrow Grooves and Expansion Grooves in Concrete

Here’s a simple guide to using Polyflex effectively.

Materials Needed:

  • KwikBond’s Polyflex Flooring Mix
  • Mixing tools (drill and mixing paddle)
  • Applicator tool (squeegee or putty knife)
  • Personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles)

Step-by-Step Guide:

Prepare the Area:

  1. Clean the grooves and expansion joints thoroughly. Remove any dirt, debris, or existing filler material.
  2. Ensure the concrete is dry and free from moisture.

Mix the Polyflex:

  1. Polyflex is a two-component system. Follow the instructions on the package to mix the resin and hardener accurately.
  2. Use a drill and mixing paddle for a consistent mix. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a uniform color.

Application:

  1. Once mixed, apply Polyflex into the grooves and expansion joints using a squeegee or putty knife. Ensure the material is pressed firmly into the joint for full adhesion.
  2. The self-leveling nature of Polyflex will help it settle into the joint evenly. However, guide the material as needed to ensure complete coverage.

Smooth Out:

  1. Use your tool to smooth over the surface for an even finish.
  2. Remove any excess material from the edges of the joint for a clean look.

Curing Time:

  1. Allow Polyflex to cure as per the instructions on the package. Avoid foot or vehicle traffic on the area during this time.
  2. The curing time will depend on the temperature and humidity levels of your environment.

Inspection:

  1. Once cured, inspect the area to ensure a smooth, even fill. Polyflex should provide a seamless look to your concrete floor.

Clean Up:

Clean your tools immediately after use with an appropriate cleaner to prevent the epoxy from hardening on them.
