Tired of putting a bandaid on concrete spalling and other minor concrete repairs? Looking for a lasting solution for concrete floor cracks or minor divots? Concrete spalls (or chips and divots) is a very common concrete floor issue in warehouses and other industrial facilities.

These are going to be high dollar products and thus are not carried on the shelf at such retailers.
