RapidSet CementAll or Mortar Mix along with a bag or two of flow control would be pourable and rock hard in an hour; while RapidSet doesn’t need/require a bonding agent it can be used. I like the pourable flow as it gets into every nook and cranny whereas stiffer concrete mixes and those with larger aggregates can have voids when used as patchers, if not vibrates or settled in. Nice step by step though I’d add rinsing, washing, or spraying water on the concrete both to get the dust off as well as to aid with bonding though that, in part can be mitigated by the bonding agent. For bonding to old concrete I find wetting and a mix in bonding additive gives better results than a paint on style bonding agent; I usually only use paint on bonding agents on painted, sealed, or non-porous existing concrete. There are flow additives which help make concrete flow without adding additional/extra water which can weaken concrete.

Hi Jeff - your video indeed helped me a lot to fix my crumbling stairs at the front of my house. I would really appreciate if you answer these questions: (1) After the Quikrete quick setting cement is dried, I can see some fresh cracks in the stairs. how can these be fixed? (2) how to use the sealer and how many days one should wait before using the sealer? (3) Is is recommended to use resurfacing cement to smooth out the cemented / concrete area? Kindly advice.

I am a cement finisher and have been pouring concrete since 1974. That's a good video however there was a few things I would like to suggest. First of all you should have used the edger before you took off the wood that would give you a nice clean Edge along the top to follow once the wood was off. Also before you took off the wood and you were pouring the concrete you should tap the face of the wood with a hammer. That would have gotten rid of most of the honeycombing. That's what it's called! It was good that you used the sponge at the end and you did a nice job🖒

Those tap cons make a huge difference, there was this real old timer when I was growing up, he was from Hungry he would add some metal shavings from a machine shop in with his mortar, the way he explains it , they will rust and lock into the cement, not sure if it worked I never tried it, sometimes the old ways are best tho

@JeremyAmaismeier 10 лет назад
Thanks for the video, Jeff! How would you approach this if it was minor damage where only the edge of the step was worn? I'm guessing you'd leave out the part you did with the screws and chiseling and probably wouldn't need to use a board.
@HomeRepairTutor
@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад
You're right Jeremy Amaismeier. If the damage was minor and less than 1/2 inch deep I wouldn't use the tapcons and instead would mix concrete acrylic fortifier with the concrete to make the bond between the new and old concrete strong. I'd also mist the old step with water to help with the bonding process.

All the bonding adhesives I've used state you need to put the concrete on IMMEDIATELY after applying - not waiting for it to dry. A dry adhesive is not an adhesive.

@williamjackson5942
@williamjackson5942 7 лет назад
From Quikrete directions:A. Paint on Application 1. Apply to surface with a brush, roller or spray to the thickness of a coat of paint. 2. Place new concrete, topping mixes, Portland cement, plaster mixes or patches as soon as adhesive is dry. Gypsum plasters and finish plasters should be applied while the adhesive is still tacky. 3. Base coat plasters must be dry before applying adhesive. 4. Tools, brushes and other application accessories should be immediately cleaned with warm soapy water. Use hot water to clean-up any drippings.

Yeah, you better work quickly. I DO NOT use quick-setting Quikrete for jobs like this. If you use regular setting cement, you won't have to fill in the holes after removing the form because it will easily form perfectly because it's not trying to get hard FAST. I'd recommend just the high strength mix, not the quick setting. That's just me.

A couple of quick thoughts/notes on preparation, etc. Cleaning with a wire brush and then sweeping/vacuuming out as much as possible gets rid of as much loose debris as possible. A masonary bit on a regular drill may work for anyone who doesn't have a hammer drill when drilling for 'Tapcon's' If using a hammer drill (not to be confused with an impact drill/driver), make sure to set the tool to 'drill' and not 'hammer drill' mode before driving screws. (This is for those who don't have a hammer drill or have never used one). For anyone who has not drilled concrete, buying a cheap hammer drill is recomended (or a good quality tool if you plan on using it often). For the thicker/deeper areas, I like to embed some wire mesh (hardware cloth) or even epoxy coated rebar if it is a large/thick/deep area. This will provide better structural integrity to the piece. Note the side of the aggregate (stones) in the original step is pretty large, compared to tha of the product being used. Aggregate gives concrete its structural integrity although these 'patching' products are formulated with various chemicals to make them stronger and more cohesive than 'plain old concrete' (cement, sand, and aggregate).

FYI they have a Kwik-Crete mix that includes the bonding agent and saves an entire step. This mix also makes it unnecessary to keep the surface moist and covered.
@abrown7860
@abrown7860 2 месяца назад
I’m sorry, but that’s not right. First off before using an adhesive the old cement needs to be wet to adhere to the new cement. The adhesive should not be dry, what is the cement going to get its moisture from dry adhesive? When I need to deal with cement issues I watch Mike haddock on RU-vid he’s been doing masonry for over fifty years. He answers all questions before you can ask them.

Craig, I'm a concrete contractor, and if I were in your shoes I would rent a concrete saw that will cut at least 75% of the depth of the slab, cut it at a right angle off your house, preferably so the existing cuts are all spaced out evenly, snap a chalk line and remove an entire section. Use tap-con screws to fasten a 2x4 to the masonry below having the top flush with the bottom of the small ledge. Then after you establish the height of the slab, fasten a 2x10 to the 2x4. This will be your form with a matching ledge. Then you can simply order one cubic yard of a residential mix with air for exterior use. Pour it wet enough for you and a buddy to handle and screed the concrete immediately with a straight 2x4 and float the surface a few times, then if you have a steel trowel, trowel the surface slick then pull a broom in a straight line if it needs a broom finish, if not, just keep troweling until you have your desired look. * make sure to round over the edges, use any electric tool that will vibrate (I use a square palm sander) and vibrate the edge of your form to reduce "honeycombs" also apply an oil so your forum will come of after pouring. Plus you don't need sealer. I only use that on decorative concrete, or places like a garage where oil will spill and penetrate the concrete surface. That was a long comment...

Jeff - how do you deal with color matching the repaired step to the other steps so that the color looks natural and consistent after the repair? Is there a solution for this?

Too many comments to expect an answer but I just have to ask, why didn't you push the cement into the void, to begin with?

You painted the bonding agent straight from the bottle on to the concrete. No premixing it with a little concrete first?

Not sure on this perticular product if that is required. Usually, no. Jus brush on. Some products want the old concrete surface to be pre-wetted. Not soaking wet, just wetted with a spray bottle. There are so many products on the market now, one has to read the instructions eiher on the bottle/package or online. Just to get the terminology straight: "In short, the difference between cement vs concrete is easy to clear once we know all the basics of their compositions. Cement is a binding agent made from limestone and clay; whereas concrete is a building material created through the proper mixing of cement, water, sand, and rock." At the store, the cement for this type of concrete work is (usually) called Portland cement.

My scenario, sidewalk curb is actually higher than slightly sunken/cracked slob/sidewalk and I like to make it even again. Can I lay rapid set cement over then paint it with two coats of portland cement and then spray it with concrete sealer. Should I use rapid set cement alone or add some sand to prevent cracking.

I have a void beneath a transition as it goes from the outside into the garage. Need to fill about 1/2" of concrete in there. What product might you recommend?

Fantastic Rich Johnson - glad to hear it went well. I have to do a pointing project myself. Mortar is falling out of some bricks and I want to get this repaired before this winter.

How did your cement step repair hold up? You left this comment 8 years ago. I need to find mine so thought you'd be good to ask.

My step is hollow and I have to fix the face, the side. Suggestions? Should I use a mesh? Shoving Crete into the hole doesn’t seem like it will work; it will fall into the hollow space behind it.

You forgot to vacuum up all dust, and prior to that, to use a wire brush on all exposed areas to be recovered.
