Zip Repair PRO V 4.2 Crackl
Vanesa Domagala
Can anyone suggests an effective and not to expensive means of repairing this crack.
It is at the hinge point of the CF door on a Nikon D2h. It looks like the crack is in the plastic.
I do not think that simply and carefully gluing this crack would work. The crack would, over time, return.
Our concrete repair, protection and strengthening (RPS) line includes products for crack repair. This range of concrete repair items includes polyurethane injection products to fill concrete cracks, voids or fractures where water is seeping or mildly leaking, plus epoxy injection products for repairing cracks in concrete walls, floors, slabs, columns and beams. Our solutions also include gel viscosity resins to secure injection ports over concrete prior to epoxy or urethane foam injection repairs.
Update: The plastic was part of a waterproofing solution by Foundation Systems of Michigan. It was leaking so I ripped the plastic off the wall. It turns out that it would have been under warranty if I hadn't touched it (not that there were any labels telling me it was under warranty or who to call; I called them for a quote on the repair and they happened to have done it in the first place). Now they want $1000 to fix it, but even if they were going to do it for free I don't trust them to fix it correctly after they've already gotten it wrong once. I can fix it myself better and cheaper.
So, I tilted at the windmill, and tilted hard. I started by chiseling away some of the concrete that had been used to previously repair the crack. In hindsight, that was a mistake, but it confirmed for me that the crack was very thin and that I didn't want to attempt to solve the problem with cement --- that's already been tried unsuccessfully, and I didn't want to have to rely on my ability to form the correct shape with a chisel. I decided to go for polyurethane injection. However, because the crack is very thin, previously repaired and actively leaking, this required a different approach than the usual injection through epoxy paste over the top. I found the Acta-Leak Crack Repair Kit from Applied Technologies.
I've uploaded some pictures showing the result on my wall. It's been through a bit since I completed the repair a few months ago (rainstorms, melting snow) and has remained dry. Some of the hardened polyurethane is visible from the outside above ground level, and combined with the polyurethane that forced its way out the face of the crack inside and over the top of the concrete repair, I'm confident that the crack has been sealed from top to bottom and front to back. I'm quite happy with the result.
If you don't have an extra you can attempt a repair. To level the top of the tile you'll have to push one side down (easy) or lift the other. In order to lift one side, you can try by applying some tape and pulling it by the tape. Or you can tap in a thin screw and pull it by the screw head (using pliers if necessary). Once you know you can align both sides (this is your "dry run"), separate them, apply glue, re-align and hold until dry. You'll use an epoxy glue for this.
I doubt it's necessary after the above repair, but you can stop the crack from growing by drilling a tiny hole right at each end of the crack. Then fill the hole with glue for aesthetics. The hole changes the tension around the end which helps prevent further ripping.
This system is designed to repair structural/moving cracks that go through the entire concrete slab. Structural/moving cracks are cracks that will go from an edge to an edge, joint to a joint, or joint to an edge.
I just took a large bowl out of the kiln from its bisque firing and discovered a small crack that runs about 2 inches from the rim down. Is there a way to repair bisque before glazing -- or is it a lost cause? I know the glaze will fuse the crack, but I think it will still be noticeable.
Ha! You are right -- it will probably not work in the end and it certainly sounds easier to just make another bowl. Of course, no two bowls are alike. But I may try to repair it anyway, just in case there's a time in the future when something I can't replace cracks - and I will have had the practice.

Finally, if you're looking to make your job stand out as the highest-quality crack repair, you'll want to purchase a sand dispensing unit to add traction to the crack fill surface, and prevent the filler from being pulled up while curing.
The tennis court crack repair is designed for filling cracks on asphalt or concrete surfaces, such as tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds or other athletic court surfaces. It is an acrylic latex fortified with mineral fillers, fibers and silica sand. The tennis court crack repair is available in several colors, designed to closely match the colors of most recreational surfaces. Because of this, once the product is applied, there is no need to go back over it with paint which saves you time and money. Note that the colors will not match exactly due to UV rays, oxidation and the weathering of the existing court surface.
After a visual inspection of minor chips and cracks, Jiffy Lube injects a polymer into the affected area to repair your windshield.

In Michigan, potholes are often a sign of spring. Potholes develop when water seeps into pavement through unsealed or improperly sealed cracks. As temperatures drop, the water freezes and expands the size of the crack. When the weather heats up and the ice melts, the water shrinks and dissipates and leaves a void, which then collapses to form a pothole. Depending on the season and site location, typical repairs involve filling the potholes with either hot asphalt mix and a leveling agent. Fortunately, practicing good maintenance and filling cracks as soon as they develop can help you to avoid these problems.
