What are the uses and advantages of QUIKRETE® Quick-Setting Cement?
QUIKRETE® Quick-Setting Cement is ideal for making repairs to vertical and overhead surfaces. Quick-Setting Cement sets in about 10 minutes so do not mix more than can be used in 10 minutes. Mix Quick-Setting Cement to the consistency of modeling clay. Start with about 1 part water to 5 parts of Quick-Setting Cement. Mix thoroughly. Adjust consistency by adding a small amount of powder or water as needed. Dampen the surface to be repaired. Use heavy trowel pressure to apply a thin layer of Quick-Setting Cement to the surface. Then build up the area to the desired thickness and shape the patch to conform to the existing concrete. For thin repairs less than 1″ thick, add QUIKRETE® Acrylic Fortifier to the mix for improved bond and better curing.
