Default Re: Ethical or not?

I have done many crack repairs, while I agree that if done inappropriately the fail rate will be high, if you decide to go into this area of the field, you must qualify the repair. #1 it has to be a fresh crack, I.E. not contaminated. I have done a few that were over a month old! The circumstances surrounding the crack are essential, ? has the break been exposed to expobic chems? (rain-ex or the like) or alot of rain and road grime? Bottom line is a fresh crack is very repairable with a good cleat installed. I have done a few that I was able to track and after 3 years I found the repair to be as good as it was when it done. so.......
