It's our job this week to make something decent out of this piece of concrete backyard that you can see in this picture here
As you can see it was crack to pieces. We've dug some of those cracks out to make them bigger to allow us to repair them and we've chosen a company called Resistall and their fantastic repair products to make these repairs
There's another video which you can go and have a look at about a deep fill repair, epoxy deep fill repair product, which is just down there
That's quite a coarse aggregate, so we leave that one about 15mm from the top of the concrete
and then we finalise the repair with the epoxy high performance repair mortar
Okay, so that gives us the top coating, allows us to feather it out and get it nice and smooth
That what we going to do now It comes in two parts the hardener and the resin and sand mixed together in the bottom The instructions are stuck to the lid Periodically you see me cleaning my tools down with the safer solvent resistal safer solvent You see that being done and I going
to mix this up now with a paddle mixer. You'll see that being done and then we're going to apply this to a few of the cracks. This is great stuff. This goes into around about 50 millimetres
deep. Any deeper than that use the deep fill and then you can finish it off with the repair
mortar which we can feather out to make a nice smooth surface. You'll see that happening
in just a moment. There we have it
You saw me just feathering out the edges with a brush there
just to make sure that the edges of the concrete move up, move closer together
You don't have to be a genius to see that this concrete base isn't quite level
and there's another video about some flow fast resist-all repair mortar that we're going to use in a moment to get everything a little bit more level
You'll also see me filling a few more cracks with the flow-fast. But this repair mortar is superb
It's flexible, it's epoxy, it will move with the concrete, it doesn't crack, it binds, it doesn't shrink back
It's going to give us a really hard-wearing surface, which isn't going to crack under any kind of weather conditions so that we can paint over it
Brilliant product from Resistall. Again, please wear the correct safety equipment
