Wow, easy peasy! I have to patch one of my steps and driveway where the roots have cause the concrete to break and lift. Thanks 😊
Good idea

On bridge projects I’ve seen 3 2 1 used. 3 parts Portland, 2 parts sand and 1 part water. Mainly for wet sacking and finishing. As usual David makes it look so easy.
You ever see glue mixed in Portland after the sack to get uniform color?
@@OdellCompleteConcreteI believe they used a mix of grey and white sand to get the color to come out right. Happy New Year!
Great job 👏🏽 I just left it like 👍🏽
Super easy, this is a DIY project for everyone. Thanks for the tip!
You are so welcome!
Great video thanks! I just ordered some of this.
Hope you enjoy it!
Who knew a patch would look so good
Bingo
Dave I been watching your videos in preparation for a walkway. We have about 16’ walkway in front of the house that is sagging and cracking. Would 3000psi be the right mix and do I have to add gravel under the pour or add Fiberglas into the mix? Any advise would be great.
Depends where your located ?
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise....
YW
good video for DIY homeowner.
Glad you think so!
That’s a really good job 👍
TY
Thanks for the tips!
Could you do more repair videos like this one?
Are there alternative materials or methods that can be used?
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
good idea
TY
Nice fix!

Good video, thanks!

Thanks for the tip!
No problem!
Great vid.

Job well done. How about a video showing how you would fix cracks in concrete!
Good idea
Nice and easy!!
I concur
Thank for good information
Welcome
You are the best!
TY
Would be nice to see the final dried result. Wondering if both color and texture blend in, or if it's noticeably smoother because it's acrylic. Quikrete also makes a premixed version.
yes it would, but regardless it will look better then nothing
Good job
I like how it’s moist
Nice and simple
Thank you 😊
goood one! this is great for your channel toooo
Sweet and simple
@@OdellCompleteConcrete yeah man .. that was a nice addition to the channel and also you made it look easier than that simple task really is to pull off, and hope people realize the wetting part is the big move to making it stick so they don't have to spend extra for binders out there ... the playdoh comparison really sold it too, man this was a very nice addition
the ideas for your channel are endless
always a big fan
Good stuff
Professional.
Nice. In northern illinois we have to use different patch material. Our winter are to server.
What do you use?
I like using Speccopatch RS (Chem Masters makes something similar). It’s great on walls, fast set, feathers and is shavable. Almost perfect color match for walls. On flat work, I’ll cut it with white Portland sometimes to get it a little lighter for color match. If I can’t get a good match, I’ll hit the whole area with Arden CD Fine (love Ardex). If I have to patch a troweled floor, I’ll put the specco in a fuzz high. Let it set up for a hour and then hit with a rubbing stone. This brings it flush and blends right in.
holy craaaappppp, a lot of words like fuzz high, rubbing stone.............whos your mama @@bubba9482
Excellent
TY
very nice. i would have smeared it this way and that for 15 minutes. ill wait for it next time
Take a break
Awsome!!👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Odell rules
Have you ever used Ardex? We swear by it on our patch and repair jobs. There is Ardex CD Patch which is for deeper holes or chipping and Ardex CD Fine for spalling and final coat. Stuff is amazing. Definitely recommend trying it. Fair warning. It sets up extremely fast. Lol
I've used it on overlays. It seems to be a very expensive product in comparison
Outstanding
TY
In Arizona wait 30 seconds and shape it up with the sponge!!😩🌞😰
Good luck getting in the hole before you shape it up.
LOL
Odell Complete Concrete is so them hot right now, that by the time you get the sponge out of the bucket is dry!!🥺😩😂😂😂😂
Thank you!!! 🙂
You are so welcome!
First, start with a gravy like mixture, and dip paint it with a broom on the chipped surface to ensure a proper connection between old and new concrete. This way you get 80 % strength compared with the 50% you chose to do.
I wish
Constructive criticism, consider a steady cam holder as the shaky cam is bad. Thanks for the tip +1
Good point TY
David mate ... you are bonzer mate! That was a bottler.
A Coopers to you mate!
Awesome
TY
Nice …. I’ve doing some patching on sidewalk, but sometimes it hard to match colors , specially when you are under pressure from the owner ..
impossible if its old
Thanks 😊
YW
AHA ! Most days I watch your channel in AWE your a champion of the crete BUT today and likely today only I GOT YOU !
Just kidding.
But I specialize in dry finishing and restoration.
The product looks great but I have a few questions ?
Do you live in a state with freeze thaw cycles ?
Also most guys love flat work and HATE PATCHING like it's not REAL finishing.
I treat each one like a mini floor/ slab.
So in that case you can do better with a wash broom.
Hit the top that last hit with the Margin trowel 45 your radius on and them use a clean good shape wash broom to restore a perfect broom from the edge of the 45.
Also you had a bit of a belly on the side and could have carved and shaped that too ?
Blue hard stryrofoam cut into a 8"x3" piece and will spin that side really nice and help you shape it !
Basic fundamentals
No monkey business,straight to the point. Me likey 😊
Get it on
Looks good! I made a stupid mistake and, after falling on the ice at the end of my driveway, went out to hack the ice away. What I couldn't get up easily I hit with my shovel. Didn't realize till today that I put a lot of nicks into the surface. They are fairly minor but is this something I can use for that? I assume that "too small" would just pop out. Thoughts? I'm bummed out that it looks bad as is.
Give it a couple years you won't even notice it
I only salted my concrete steps 3 times this past winter and I guess the previous owner never did because it has chewed through the top layer really bad and had some chunks flake off. Guess I’ll be doing this in the summer and then using weather sil after
GL
Nice job Dave. Quick & easy.
Question could you use regular concrete mix or is this 'patch kit' a different consistency?
Also would you ever just take that broken piece of concrete and glue it back to the original slab? If you used say an epoxy or jb weld?
Aggregate is to big in concrete mix.
They never fit perfectly
I was about to ask the same, then I thought, somebody might have already asked.
Not too happy with the answer you got. If the broken off part is in one piece, why they would not fit perfectly? Wirebrush them and use epoxy, or JB weld first. If doesn't fit well, try this method, because it is definitely noticeable. Not a very elegant solution.
Dave, can I put Top Cast #3 over this product? If so, I’d appreciate your help. Awesome content.
I would try to sponge and rinse for a sand wash look.
bro throw one tapcon in the deepest part. (before u apply product, leave the head sticking up but below top of concrete so it functions as an anchor)
other tips include using a leaf blower to blow off excess water and i like to really grind the product in before i fill it with a trowel like you did in the video.
that is how we ball in Minnesota ⛹️♂️
get it on
Wish I had read this comment 30 minutes ago.
Love that hat bro
TY
I've notice that you did not apply the bonding agent for this job. Will it adhere properly in the long run? Thanks.
This patch has a polymer in it.
Concrete was still curing so it will bond well regardless.
Great.
ty
Yes Sir!
TY
How does CZcams know my drive way needs this 😂
You tube knows everything
Can you do one on matching colored concrete. Pool deck has minor cracks but the original concrete was colored at the batch plant before it was poured.
Get a few of the colors you think it is and start playing around with it.
Nice
TY
👍👍
Would love to see the dried result.
I wonder if you can do the same to corners of foundations.
Sure
I would love to see how this looked once it dried out.
me too
@@OdellCompleteConcrete 🤣
I used the premixed concrete patch. I also used the broken off sections to glue back on. Maybe the wrong approach. You used dry concrete patch. Was it from a bag? You didn’t use nitrite gloves as recommended in instructions.
My hands are immune to light duty stuff
I know you don't HAVE TO use a bonding adhesive with this stuff , but would using it ADD more bond , or would it not be advisable with vinyl patch ??? Bonding is everything in my opinion ...... Just curious if it would bond even better with adhesive applied also .... I'm all about super bonding the repair , that to me is "priority numero uno" ..... because any repair that separates sucks
I have a step that keeps crumbling. I repair it then it seems to deteriorate over a year or two. Maybe not getting it clean/solid enough to bond. Been using Quikcrete Fast Drying mix. My question is can I use this patch on it and build it up? It is like a 5 inch deep by 12 inch long section that is bad. Does this patch build up with several applications of it after letting each application dry thoroughly. Thanks for all the great info.
No
you'll need some aggregate in there
can pea gravel work as aggregate@@OdellCompleteConcrete
How is the pandemic affecting your work load? I hope this video is not a sign of the times, but good job as always!
Pandemic has increased my work, since a lot of people are working from home
Hi Dave, how many years or Decades you’ve been working the trade?
38 yrs
I loved you on the office
Me too
This is exactly the situation I am in. Had cement done in early October with a brushed finish and yesterday I noticed a chip 3 inch by 8 inch on the edge of a low foot traffic area. I was thinking is this possible because of the cold here in Chicago or was it a bad pour? I did not use any salt as instructed thus why is there a chip/ break in the new cement. I recached out to the contractor that initially said there is no warranty on cement work but I am hoping he will come out and do the patch repair. The problem is you are a pro and you make it look easy. If my guy does not fix it then it will be on me and I will be referencing your videos. Thanks for the videos, they are great!
Thanks good luck
is it just as good for long cracks on a patio? use same stuff? I've got long cracks going 10' or more
It's a temporary fix on cracks since there always moving
so what product do you recommend @@OdellCompleteConcrete
I have a 3-step front porch that has railings added after the pour. On the bottom step, they cracked the corner of the concrete. I broke out all the concrete, used a hammer-drill to create holes and added some Tapcon screws. Then patched with a fast-setting mix. Now, a few years later, while the entire patch hasn't come loose, there is some fracturing at the surface. Also, because of the way I had to break out the original concrete, I had to feather the patch along the corner of the step for about 12 inches. All that fractured as well. What do you recommend for fixing this as well as the feathered portion of the step? Do I have to break a bigger piece of the step so that instead of it being feathered it's more of a larger patch so it will hold better? Thanks.
Can you fasten the railing in a different place?
@@OdellCompleteConcrete No. It's a aluminum wrought-iron looking railing that starts at the top of the porch near the door, travels six feet to where it decends three stairs to where it's inserted into the lower step.
Is the concrete patch the same color as the concrete when dried? Great Video!
Sometimes
Can you use that stuff on a cracked retaining wall?
Sure
are small holes and cracks in concrete driveway treated the same way. Thank you.
Yes they are
easy money!
Yes
would this work on the inside of a concrete utility sink?
Does this work for shallow pits or what I would also describe as poke marks?
Yes
Could you use Portland cement instead of that patch kit?
no
Nice. I had a contractor pour a slab and all kinds of holes have popped. It rained before he finished and he tracked mud into the slab. No I have noticed holes with mud clods in them. I need to open up the holes and patch them before painting. He will not answer the phone so it is up to me.
Oh wow!
What's your prices for regular gray concrete with rebar with the demo included
varies
If you have the piece that's broken off, can't you just glue it back?
Never goes in perfect, and its very fragile
rutger houtdijk yes ca glue will work fine. Almost invisible.
rutger houtdijk Flex Seal!!!
I've probably said this before, but I wish you guys were here in Dallas, Texas. If you happen know anyone in the Dallas area you can recommend, let me know.
Hey Taylor, i know a few people that do concrete work in the Dallas area if you're interested. What is it that you need?
I wish i did
I bought a little tub of quikrete patching compound. It doesn't say what color it is on the tub but I thought it would be gray. Online says it comes in gray and white. Without opening it (in case I want to return it) how do I tell what color it is. I don't want white. You'd think they would list on the tub what color it is.
I've only seen grey
