PRODUCT USE
QUIKRETE Commercial Grade Polymer Modified Structural Repair
consists of special fast-setting hydraulic cement, graded sands and
other proprietary ingredients. This product is designed to be used for
partial-depth repairs and can be sculpted to match the contour of
existing concrete surfaces. For full-depth repairs, the product should
be expanded with up to 10 lb (4.5 kg) of gravel per 20 lb (9.1 kg) of
product.
