Step #1:
Use a hammer and chisel to square the edges of the area to be patched. Then thoroughly clean the area of any loose concrete, using a stiff brush or broom.
|
Step #2:
Pour Pakmix Sand Mix into a wheelbarrow and form a crater with a hoe. Pour clean water into the crater and mix to a smooth consistency. For improved bonding and strength, mix with Pakmix Cement Fortifier instead of water.
|
Step #3:
Apply the sand mix to the problem area, work the material down into the crevices and smooth out with a trowel. Take special care to place Sand Mix level with old concrete.
|
Step #4:
To make sure your repaired area cures properly, keep area moist with a fine mist from your garden hose, then cover with an opaque plastic or burlap. Repeat this process 2-3 times a day for 3 days.
