Hi! I live in Quebec (CAN) and there's a lot of concrete in my house. I noticed the water evaporated quickly in your video. I have a major cracking concrete problem and most products made for concrete fixing are to be applyed above 15°c or so...
Winter is coming fast, another crack appeared last week. It's like 10°c at noon by now. Help...!!

When using any kind of cement based materials in colder weather, the temperature guidelines are key. Try using the Fast Setting Patcher as it will set faster but keep in mind that if the temps are too cold the water will not be able to evaporate out of the patching material at the appropriate rate during the initial setting. The water becomes trapped during this important first phase of curing and that could be a cause for the material to potentially crack. If the temperatures are too cold and you are not able to control or protect your work from freezing you may need to wait for spring. The Sakrete Team

Would have been nice to see that corner after it dried up.
