    10 years ago, I had a 26 x 28 addition put on the back of my existing garage. The guy was supposed to saw cut the joints like the existing garage. I came home from work to find trowel joints. For the last 10 years, I've put up with my creeper getting stuck in the joints and having to vacuum the joints out after I sweep. Is there any type of epoxy or special concrete that I could use to fill in the joints? My garage is temperature controlled, but I assume that there may be some expansion and contraction of the floor. I don't want to put something in the joints that's just going to come out. Thank's, Jeff

    I've used the self leveling concrete seam sealer from HD. This is on the outside driveway and its held up for two years. This is Michigan so real poor weather. I would think inside would last forever. Don't waste your money on the small caulk tube. Get the large caulk gun and large caulk tube and save time and money.

    MASTER SEAL SL1 - it's a self leveling sealant, as also suggested above. It's what we use when we pour concrete for DOT jobs.

    be sure you block the ends where you don't want the self leveling sealant to flow out of, depending on where you live you may contact your local concrete supplier, and see what they recommend. a self leveling urethane like Sikaflex, you might need to clean the groove out with a lite acid to be sure the compound you put in sticks well.
