What sealant would work best?

The seam that runs between the metal piece of a glass top addition and the conrete wall outside is dried and cracked. I’m wondering if anyone can recommend the correct product to re-fill this seam. Thanks!

Use Sonneborn NP-1 sealant availiable at Extech (718) 852-7090.  In order for sealant to work seams must be properly prepared before application.

Sorry if my post is confusing. The concrete is not cracked. The product that fills the expansion joint between the metal and concrete is cracked. Thanks again!

“Dried and cracked” could be a poor installation of concrete (poor pour).  A veriety of techniques are used to keep Portland cement procucts wet when curing, perhaps that was not done.  If so, the product was water, but it is too late now.  I imaging the glass is installed perpendicular to the conccrete and you need an expansion joint there, such as caulk.  Typically this is polyurathane such as Sikaflex, or Sonolastic – not silicone.  A gap for this could have been left when installing the concrete or glass.  If not, I don’t know a product to use now.
