I have a 5 foot (1/4") crack at the cove joint in my coach house - will the epoxy work? Only seepage during bad rains.

Yes, it should work pretty well. If the crack is visible on the outside of the house you need to seal it as best as you can with a topical of some sort (concrete patch or mortar). This Is to stop all the epoxy from leaking out. If the whole section is 1/4" and five feet long all the way through, you will definitely need more than one tube of the epoxy. I had the same scenario with only during heavy rains and its been bone dry for the past two years.

It won't work. Just like the epoxy. .. The surface needs a deep etching before painting. Otherwise it will just peel off. Plus the epoxy is stronger than the paint. So putting a weaker product in a high wear area will fail even faster. The solution is using the high mileage epoxy clear coat over the standard epoxy. Then it won't peel under the tires

Yes. I have a section of deck that gets no rain due to overhang of roof. I spray it now and then with a garden hose and it works!

It might work if you first fill the larger gap with little pieces of wood mixed with glue, then letting it dry up. Only then you can fill the top part of the crack with Plastic Wood, let it dry then sand & finish. Good luck!!

It should work there as well as driveway. The viscosity allows ready flow so it should fill a horizontal crack as well as a vertical. It is really solid when it dries.

It is hard to say since it sounds like in your case the epoxy would be weight bearing. What I can tell you is that it worked great for patching a rusted exhaust pipe flange(about a 1/4" gap). I no longer have an exhaust leak and patch has held for a few months now

As long as it's not stucco, crackling, or that extreme of a style of texture then you should be fine. It doesn't need the entire surface area of the patch to stick, just about 3/4 should handle the job.

No, I don't believe so. The hole is fairly small - the system uses pressure to force the epoxy into the crack. Just be sure to read the directions before you begin, there are some that are vital, but you can easily glance over. I used this repair kit on my windshield and was very satisfied.

It absolutely will if you apply it prior to rain. I have single paned 1920's windows with gaps at every angle, but also where the rope and pulley insert (man does that blow in wind like no other).I recommend cleaning the area well, let it try 100% and even using a hair dryer or heat to improve the initial adhesion process. Perhaps use the tape on interior and exterior to prevent rust or wood breakdown in the hinge area. I have had it applied for 2 seasons now going into my 3rd and its holding up just fine. Basically invisible is a nice feature. This product in addition to window wraps has saved my about $200 a month in cold months, and $350 during freeze months.... best money I have ever spent online!

Probably not. I would ask a company that installs vinyl fencing what they use or use an epoxy glue.

It's not that type of epoxy. I don't think that using it in that way would work. It's more like a waterproof sealant than a sticky glue.

I used it to seal cracks on my driveway and it has stood up to the elements for at least five years. I think that if you prep the area and apply an even coat that it would hold. It stays rubbery when dry. You may want to try it on a small obscure spot first.

This would cover the opening of 2..maybe 2.5, but with that much of a gap, water, bugs etc could easily come right in.. It wouldn't be a very tight seal.. mine is closed with less than 1/2" of a gap.. You could make some kind of a ledge of raised up epoxy cemet or something like that to make it level just where it closes.. Not sure about exactly what you have there.. This gasket/seal is your best shot as I had to search quite a while to find anything this good.. Most of what's out there is cheap foam rubber and nails.. This product is great but takes some work to modify the aluminum to fit your application.. I hope some of that helps..

J-B Weld did not work for me when there was any liquid present. I believe that whatever you're repairing needs to be clean and dry while the epoxy sets.

It's definitely worth a shot. As long as the leak isn't too big, it should get the job done. You definitely won't find a cheaper fix.

try it, this more for concrete/when putting sealer.I recommend testing a small area first and letting it dry to see what happens.

A plastic welding epoxy putty would work better if it is a crack in the plastic.You would want to roughen up and then clean the area first before you seal it over.
