Finally somebody knows how to do a DIY video. No 1 minute long intro song with graphics. No monologue or stories. Just a straight up repair with explanation.

Is it 8am? Yes. Do I plan on fixing concrete anytime soon? No. Am I still gonna watch this? ABSOLUTELY

The time was appropriate for the subject matter. When DIY's like myself look something up on YT, I'll watch the short vids first, 3-5 mins, maybe 5-10 mins, and then if it's complicated or those vids don't cover it well, go to longer vids. I've yet to find a good vid on DIY restoration of terrazzo floors (mid-century Fla.) due to carpet tack board divots. That's a complicated one. This Old House did the best job with it, though.

Great video. Yes, folks, the older the concrete, usually the harder it is. Curing continues for decades.

This will make it look good for a bit. I looked into this a little deeper, what you need to understand is that concrete lives of its PH level of 14 everytime water penetrates concrete dust blows into a wet crack or salt enters concrete the pH level rises this is what will make concrete wither. So what you are prepping here is the concrete that has already lost it's pH level and you ll put new concrete on top where pH will be 14 this will hold 5 years maybe and then the low pH part will still wither away. What you need to do is remove about 1 to 3 cm or well 1 inch of the concrete that got damaged and start repair from there. You ll have a very long lasting repair this way

I'm glad I came across your comment. I recall seeing a video where the guy chiseled back some but I didn't remember why. I'll need to do this. Menards guy said I don't need to coat with anything first with the quick set cement mix I bought. I hope they're right because I'm trying it tomorrow.

Looks great I guess you don't need tapcons except for "underneath"applications. It really turns a shabby, chipped, neglected, worn-out looking edifice, staircase, sidewalk, curb, foundation, retaining wall, etc etc into a nicely updated and well taken care of feature of your property.

How would you repair cracks in a concrete driveway... some are 1 inch+ deep? I've read it's good to use rod bar (cylinder piece of rubber) in large cracks.

Nice video thx

I have a similar situation with my steps, why would I use bonding adhesive (PVA) instead of an acrylic fortifier?

How much would it cost to repair as shown, labour and materials?

Awesome

Did you add some kind of white primer to the concrete towards the end and why would that be needed? Not talking about the adhesive, but towards the end of vide a white 'paint' appears. I'm going to do an edge repair soon and found this helpful, thanks.

That was the concrete drying. Thinner areas dry faster.

We have a 20 yr old short, concrete brick wall that the top row of bricks has come loss and fallen off. The bricks as still in perfect shape but my Dad never used an rebarr because the wall is only 3 bricks high and he felt it wasn't necessary... which it wasn't for the first 20 years. Is there a way I can re-use these bricks... would I need to knock off all the old cement?

How long do I have to wait from the bonding to start to put the cement on

@dohczeppelin37

A new concrete driveway is not a DIY project. If you just pour a bunch of concrete on the ground it will look horrible and then crack into a million pieces shortly thereafter.

Don’t let your glue cure or sap. It should be damp when you apply your patching compound otherwise, if it dries it becomes glossy and actually becomes a bone barrier rather than any help at all pro tip.
