Step-by-step process
Step 1
Remove any loose debris from the hole. Wipe the area clean with a water-dampened rag.
TIP:
Use a 5-in-1 painter's tool to remove hard-to-reach debris. This will allow the concrete patching material to bond tightly to the damaged area.
Step 2
Using a putty knife, spread a thin layer of concrete patching material into the hole.
TIP:
To create an even surface, always smooth out (feather) the patching material 1"-2" beyond the repaired area.
Step 3
Using a wet sponge, blend the repaired area into the existing surface.
Step 4
Allow the area to dry.
