Sometimes it works out to be the best. I lose jobs every day because people don't want to do it right. Sad

Doin it right is cheaper than crossing fingers.

Jd you mentioned the euco quikjoint 200. Perhaps you know the other products.

I have a job where GC put euco 700 in a stress crack (poorly spaced joints) running the whole width of slab 80'.

Now we can see a line tracking the crack repair under the flooring. Does that jive in your mind?

I am having a hard time understanding the difference between them.

Understanding the difference between what?

If you see a crack, the joint has moved. Why else would you see the crack?

Between why the structural engineer would spec a epoxy euco 700 vs the polyurea euco 200.

When I read about the two it seems to say the.same thing.

The 700 is an epoxy and harder. Has a longer open time and would flow to the bottom of the crack better.
