I am planning on putting an epoxy finish on my garage floor. However, I have lots of cracks that are hairline to about 1/8". 1. Will I need to enlarge the cracks to get good penetration of the caulk into the cracks? Would it be easier to use a chisel rather than a saw? 2. Is this type of caulk compatible with the various types of epoxy or urethane garage floor finishes available? 4. I can't find a comparison of the various types of finishes available as to ease of installation, wear, touch-up, etc. Do you have any info? 3. Have you done a project like this? I'll happily let you guys use mine as an example!

Zack, This sounds good but I cannot get a picture of how this works in my head. Do you have any resources that might show pics or a video of this?

if your caulking a seam with urethane and want a very sharp clean look try this. This takes a little extra time but will make a very nice look. Tape both sides of what you are going to caulk.. stick the tape down and pull it out several feet and pull it tight and stick the end of the tape down. This will make a true strait edge for your caulking.. next apply the caulking as cleanly as you can between the masked joint. Finally take a mixture of soapy water in a spray bottle and spray it on the urethane the soapy water will not break down the urethane. Once you squirt it down take your finger or a spoon and slick the bead down and remove the excess. The soapy water will keep the urethane from sticking to your finger and lets your get a nice slick sharp bead. now remove the tape and there you have it a laser sharp and perfect bead of caulking!
