verb? noun? adjectival?
Daniela Hubrich Jun 8, 2006:
of no context, what are the other "types of slab crack" please? I am working in a foundry and never heard "cap-off" (besides if you talk of taking a cap off ....)

Context: This question has been already asked on the English - Polish forum. The difficulty lies in lack of context. Nobody's answered it yet on the forum.

“Interlocking Cap” for CRACK-A-SLAB provides for expansion and contraction while forming a water resistant seal. Cap allows you to create and seal the joint all in one step!

CRACK-A-SLAB is manufactured from 20 guage galvanized steel and can be sold in custom lengths from 2ft to 25ft. When inserted into freshly placed concrete, CRACK-A-SLAB will insure that the slab cracks where you want it to!

(can be used with or without the cap)

Correction: (can be with or without the cap.)

What I meant was the question might refer to Crack-A-Slab without the "cap part".
