depending on the size of the crack. it got me looking at my dw and it has a
tiny 1/4" crack. for that i'd leave it. if it was larger i'd use bondo cause
it's going to be easier to get out w/chisel as opposed to caulk.

Thanks for all the responses.

I have a feeling the failure of much of the original vinyl concrete
patch was due to thermal expansion and contraction, so I'll give the
flexible filler a go, but I'll be sure to keep these other ideas in
queue as I also have a feeling that this will come up again sometime,
unfortunately.
