Mystery white stuff may well have been epoxy, thickened with a filler like 404. If you are aggressive and mix it thick, it can come out looking like whipped cream, and the bubbles can¹t escape. Someone might have made such a mix to keep it from running out of the crack. What was the approximate cost for this repair? Please respond with a private note if you don¹t care to make this public.
