All I would like to know is if anyone knows a product I can use that will fill the cracks in the slab and allow the oil to soak in and not stand out like dogs whatsies. The house is at lockup BTW so I guess the cracking isn't going to get much worse.

They have a sister company called Anro Floors that Grind & seal floors with Livos products, http://www.anrofloorcare.com.au/ they may be happy to tell you what products they use to fill cracks on their own jobs, I have found them extremely helpful with advice whenever I have had questions. Every slab has some cracks, so your problem is a common one. The cracks, even if filled will not look the same as the rest of the floor area. Where we have had cracks in build jobs with polished concrete, our contractors have used tenax (from granite benchtop companies) & /or epoxy with colour or concrete dust. These areas will need re grinding & sealing when patched – however I am not sure how the livos will go over these products.

Is it necessary to oil underneath the boards before laying? 0 1935 Hi, as per the subject. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck?
