  Yor asking a lot of this old dinosaur Jeremy, that video thing aint likely. Work the dry mix into the crack in a perpendicular
  direction. The humidity will cause it to set up overnight. Learned this about 20 yrs. ago from an old pool builder in his seventies.

  Getting fiberglass to bond with concrete is a hit-or-miss proposition in my experience. The contractors that fiberglass gunite pools do have success though, so it is possible. I use a flowable sealer that can be squeezed or poured into the crack and then top with a dry portland mix, applied with a barely damp sponge.
