large crack in driveway

I have about a 1 inch wide crack across the corner of my driveway.
Has anyone used Dap Quick Plug Hydraulic Cement on a cement crack like that and did it do the job?
thanks.

For 25 bucks. You can’t go wrong. I have one running across my slab form ground slippage. I didn’t know about this stuff. Going to have to try as what’s the worst that can happen

Take pictures once it’s done.

I'm not a concrete expert but I've done some small concrete projects. It will be almost impossible for you to make that crack disappear. How large is the "corner"? Its possible to just remove that corner and redo it completely?
Structurally unless you add some steel/ rebar to join the 2 sections its going to be very difficult to keep it from cracking again. Maybe not as bad and maybe not even noticeable, but there's a reason it cracked in the first place.
Also, matching the two cements is going to be extremely difficult as far as color and texture. That's not to say anyone but you may ever notice, but its going to be almost impossible to make the repair invisible.

Unless you have water issues, don’t spend the money on hydraulic cement. Just get a sackrete or “sand topping” mix and use it. Hydraulic cement is for spots that need to set up really fast, like a spot that has a water spring running through it.
If your driveway has moved an inch, either a large truck drove on it and moved it or you have a different problem.

Looks decent. I’m going to have to try on my many cracks.
