[rtate]

Thanks Ted I really appreciate the time you are taking to help me

I won't be starting this project for a week or so and I am sure that any info. or tips on techniques that you can give me would help tremendously !!
I will keep checking to see if you have had any spare time but please
post only when you have the time...
Thanks again
Robert.

So If my patch is 1 inch deep and about 12' x12" square,
how long does the patch need to cure before I paint over it?
Do I need to acid wash or etch before I paint??

Sorry for the delay

The patch should cure 24 hours, then be lightly acid washed to liberate any material that hasn't fully bonded to the pre-existing crete. Then allow ~ a day for the floor to dry before applying the paint

I'm out for the weekend on Friday (class reunion) but will be back next week

Thanks Ted...
When mixing the hydraulic cement would it be better to use the "bonding"
agent instead of water??
