Excellent, First time Ive heard of hydrolic cement. I will make use of that in the future. I just wondered if you know why the floor cracked like it did? Was it just settlement?. Thanks for the demo, Eric.

I'm watching your Videos, just found them on iTunes while back...
I am currently watching the Repair Cracks video... I seen you were using a Puddy knife to force the cement into the cracks. This is a Good way, but here is something you may think about next time.
Take a Food Grade 1Gal Zip Bag. A Real good quality one, and Put in your Cement into the Gal Zip Bag, then at the corner, snip off about 1/4" to 1/2" depending on the size of the Bead you need. Then Pipe it into the cracks, then use the Puddy knife to Smooth it out after you are finished piping.
Hope this helps and becomes a latter tip for future cement and concreate repairs for small DIY's.

Hello, I am working on learning how to repair a leak in the basement. I was wondering, would I still chisel out a section like that if the wall was leaked? And is there any particular hydraulic cement I'm looking for?
