I bought some polymer type of filler called liquid cement that I used to fill in a crack in walkway to my house. This shrank and cracked.
I have seen concrete that came in a tube with which you use a caulk gun. I like this approach.
However most concrete is gray in color and I need a whitish or sidewalk sort of color. I was told by a guy who was working on a neighbors foundation there are such tubes you can buy but you need to know where to purchase them as they are not found in Lowe's or Home Depot.
Thanks for any advice.

Filling in cracks is a very hard thing to do.

Mainly because of the expansion and contraction of the concrete (the main reason why your sidewalk failed in the first place).

Like an honest contractor said to me once, Concrete "will" crack! Its just how long "before" it cracks is the important thing.

You might try some Durham's instant patch...(It comes in a red can), mix it up and trowel it in.

Its a "hot mix", and will set in a few mintues and harden in less than half an hour. (Lots of lime in it).

I use it for quick patches in all concrete work, when there is a little bit of patching to do.

I wish you well..

best thing to do is, buy a bag of sak crete and mix it up and fill in the crack. it will be almost impossible to get it the same color.
