Step 1 Remove any unsound or flaking concrete from the repair area using a hammer and chisel or with a masonry grinding disk and a portable drill. Step 2 Remove any loose material, oil and grease then clean the surface with QUIKRETE Concrete and Asphalt Cleaner. Step 3 Thoroughly rinse the repair area after cleaning. Step 4 Unzip the re-sealable closure and break the protective seal. Add 1 1/4 cups of clean water. Step 5 Squeeze the pouch to remove the excess air and then zip the pouch closed and knead the bag for about 3 minutes - until a lump free consistency is achieved. Step 6 Dampen the repair area with water. Step 7 Build up the repair mortar in layers using the application trowel. The first layer should be pressed into the repair area using firm trowel pressure. Step 8 Continue to build and sculpt the repair mortar so that the surface of the repair is above the surrounding concrete. Step 9 Mold and shape the repair mortar to match the contour of the surrounding concrete using the application trowel once the patch has become thumb-print hard.
