Hi folks,
I have two sections (approx. 4' x 4') that have surface damage: missing concrete up to 1 1/2 inch deep in the worst areas. I don't want to break up the two sections
if I don't have to. So: What is the best product to use to fill in and level the sections?
What is the best method to get a good bond to the old concrete?
Thanks, nps60@juno.com

I have used a cement patching compound with vinyl additives that works pretty good. Follow instructions on package but for adhesion make sure all dust and dirt is gone and that the patch does not dry too fast(before setting). I usually hose the concrete to flush the dirt and keep it from sucking all the moisture out of the patch.
