Tools & supplies

  • 5-in-1 Tool
  • Broom
  • Concrete Patch
  • Vinyl Gloves
  • Protective Apparel
  • Putty Knife
  • Rags
  • Sponge

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.
