@danworst6229 4 года назад

Mortar is usually designed to bond building materials like block or brick. How will this hold up as steps? Does it need sealed.

@TerrafuseInc 4 года назад

This product is designed specifically as a concrete restoration mortar, and it will hold up better than concrete. It requires no sealers or curing procedures after installation.

@bugsea54 4 года назад

I used a bonding cement for the tops of my 2 steps and on a corner which cracked off. Then I put quick set cement over top and made a mold to fill in the corner. Now I am spraying with water waiting for it to set, then I guess fill in what settles. I haven't put quick set on the top step yet? Can I leave it with the bonding cement? Its getting late so I figured I would finish in the morning.

@TerrafuseInc 4 года назад

Hey, not too sure what you are doing, its a bit confusing, but the TF Structural could do that type of repair in one shot. Thanks

@jmgtrplyr1984 4 года назад

with a resurfacing product you do not have to keep spraying water during the curing process bc there is none. forget about the quick set as that is a product for new jobs not repairs. you can get use a product that requires the acrylic bonder like CementFix, Ardex, Patchcrete or use a product like Terrafuse that has a bonder already in it. just mix the product and apply to a moist surface and trough/float it to the desired thickness and finish.

@louisegaluski1122 3 года назад

I have some concrete stairs that were covered up with wood. The wood is now falling apart so I am planning to remove it. I think the stairs underneath are ok, but sagging in the middle/worn (not necessarily crumbling). This product looks like it could do the trick, but I don’t have a grinder. How much cleaning/prep is needed and what equipment would I need? Trying to figure out if it’s worth the tool investment to DIY this.

@TerrafuseInc 3 года назад

You can use a pressure washer. You just have to be sure there is no loose, deteriorated concrete left, and it is all clean and porous. Imagine painting a new coat onto flaking paint, it won't last.

Can this be used to level interior steel floating steps? Will it stick to the steel? Will it withstand a small amount of flex?

@TerrafuseInc 2 года назад

It is designed for concrete, and is a very rigid material, with zero flexibility. If you are filling deeper metal pans with it, it will work, but can't be applied as a thin overlay onto steel structures.

Hi, I think you said something about mixing it with an aggregate, where do we get that? and how much do we add in? I'll be doing stairs like the ones you just did. How much of the product would you need to do the stairs you did in the video if I was purchasing on Amazon? Thank you very much

@TerrafuseInc 2 года назад

You can add pea gravel usually sold at a landscape supply. Add approx. 30% by volume to your mixes. The product fills about 1/2 cubic foot/bag with some rock added, so you'll have to calculate your total volume needed. It will probably be more cost effective to buy it from us directly, and have it shipped to you, if you are doing bigger volumes. 1-403-243-3000

@Latus2 4 года назад

It seems to me like removing material like this with a hammer drill is rather excessive. i would think hitting it with a masons hammer should remove most of the bad material and give good feedback on how strong the remaining material is. Also i thought mortar was for brick and stonework and Portland cement was perfect for this kind of work.

@TerrafuseInc 4 года назад

This is for a long term, permanent restoration. I agree, you only need to remove the loose, broken, deteriorating concrete, but these steps had no structural integrity left in the concrete. If you don’t go deep enough with the removal, after a few years, the concrete will fail underneath your restoration. These steps are not typical though, most you find won’t be in such bad shape!

@TerrafuseInc 4 года назад

Portland cement does not bond to cured concrete. TF structural is specifically designed to chemically and mechanically bond to existing concrete structures. It doesn’t need or use added acrylic polymers to “glue” it in place.
