About this product
A pourable crack filler with two waiting rules and no tack-free time on its sheet: keep rain off for 24 hours, and let it dry overnight between applications. It should not go on if temperatures will fall below 10°C within 24 hours.
Using this specific product
Sakrete (Sika) SAKRETE Concrete Crack Filler is listed here as the Pourable crack filler version for concrete cracks, driveways, and walkways. For repairing concrete or masonry, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says Pourable crack filler; related versions can use different timing.
- For concrete cracks, driveways, and walkways, pay particular attention to substrate moisture, depth, temperature and protection from traffic.
- The source gives no conditions for this time.
How to check readiness
Check the slowest, coolest section before loading or coating. Use this only as the rainfast milestone. It does not establish general cure or re-entry safety.
Avoid this mistake
Early strength, coating readiness and full cure are separate decisions.

Why does this page show only one time for the SAKRETE crack filler?
