Polyurethane products can be used to quickly and efficiently patch and repair concrete. Read these directions thoroughly to save time, money and effort by using polyurethanes to create stronger faster concrete repairs. In this document you will find information about concrete patching and concrete fillers and how to:
• Repair Cracks in Concrete
• Patch Concrete in Sidewalks and Driveways.
Standard concrete repair methods are time-consuming, require many tools and sometimes significant labor and take 5 days or more to be completed. With polyurethane repair materials, concrete repair and patching is quick, strong and simple. Because the polyurethane repairs are not as rigid as the concrete, the repaired concrete is stronger, and further breakdown is eliminated.
Roklin’s concrete repair products come in a complete package, ready for use as an instant concrete patch and as a concrete filler. With a few simple hand tools, repairs are simple. There is no need to grind, drill out, pressure wash or saw-cut cracked or damaged concrete. Simply sweep or blow out the damaged area, mix your materials and apply.
Repairing Cracks in Concrete :
When a crack develops in concrete, no matter how small, it will continue to expand until the concrete sidewalk, road or driveway becomes a cracked and broken mess. Whether the damage is repaired immediately or after it has become an eyesore, concrete repair can be simple.
First ensure that the damaged area is clean and dry. Sweep or blow out cracks so there is no loose debris. Using Roklin’s FlexSet Concrete Repair Product, carefully pour contents of bottle “a” into provided 5-gallon bucket then add special sand. Next, shake thoroughly and pour bottle “b” into sand mixture. Mix with a paddle-mixer, using a common household drill. When mixture is completely wet, pour FlexSet onto damaged area and use a trowel or lute to smooth material into cracks. When damaged area becomes sufficiently smooth, toss topping sand by hand over repaired area to create a uniform look and feel. The new repair can be ready for traffic in less than an hour.
Concrete Patching in Sidewalks and Driveways :
Besides making a home or business appear neglected, cracks in concrete often cause concrete to eventually buckle and heave, creating a potential for car damage and making it dangerous for passersby to walk on. Concrete Repair and Restoration is essential for value and safety. With concrete fillers and other methods, many tools, proportioning and primers are needed as well as days to dry. Polyurethane repairs are completed and ready for use the same day.
Just as you would with a small crack, make sure that the damaged area is clean and dry. Sweep or blow out cracks so there is no loose debris. If the damage is bigger than 1/2 inch wide and ½ inch deep, special rock can be provided to place in the hole. Using Roklin’s FlexSet Concrete Repair Product, pour contents of bottle “a” into sand in provided 5-gallon bucket. Next, pour bottle “b” into sand mixture and mix with a paddle-mixer, using a common household drill. When mixture is completely wet, pour FlexSet onto damaged area and use a trowel or lute to smooth material into damaged area. When repair is sufficiently smooth, toss topping sand by hand over repaired area to create a uniform look and feel.
