Cement Paint Goes With a Concrete Project Like Peanut Butter Goes With Jelly
Concrete has been around for a long time and was used in ancient Rome. So why does your concrete project crumble after years outside? The secret ingredient to keeping a long-lasting concrete project is cement paint.
Cement paint is the perfect material to use to make concrete bond and stick together making it more durable. Take a coating of bonding agent and paint it on your cement project, then add new cement on top. The cement paint is the bonding agent that holds the layers of concrete together.
The first way to do this is to use a pre-mixed product. This is perfect for small repair jobs. A bonding adhesive can be painted onto the repair job with a brush or roller. Then you can apply more concrete on top.
The next way would be a concrete slurry. This is a very thin, soupy mix of Portland cement and water. Then before you put the mix onto the repair job, dampen the area with want and then paint the slurry onto the area.
The last way is to use both, basically a combination. Once you mix a concrete slurry, you will add the bonding adhesive to the slurry. Then you will use this on the repair area.
