I make some mistakes with long crack repair.For years i use liquid resins pit filler to repair long cracks.I use the resin from the begin when the crack is wide open to the edge.I have some sucess because is a" high viscosity resin" and hold on warm wheather.But when i see my jobs again on the next months i see the crack a little bit visible.Ok the crack not spread but i note a little refraction.I read over the net that the pit filler is only to fill pits no matters their viscosity.The true crack seal is the one with good flexibility to hold the stress of the crack.Next time my cracks will holp up with a long lasting appearance.What type of crack seal is good for a hot tropical climate?How many cps?Thanks for the attention.Good Luck.

For the really HOT days I like the 60 cps Probond. I tried the 40 and it works very well but for some reason the 60 slides in like butter on warm bread. I havent had any issues with the flowering effect on either of them. Email delta and request a sample. They will get it out to you immediately. Give it a shot, I think you will be quite pleased.
I have never tried LR's Blue Cap 90 cps. I have to try & get a sample of that one.
A lot of people swear magnibond works great for hot climates too. So if you can get a sample of that to & give it a try as well.

Probond is good. I use the redcap liquid resins as well, and so far I have had no problems. The whole crack seems to fill in great and no call backs knock on wood. The Hard Pit Resin I find is too thick to enter the thinner cracks
