Default Sike Products For Home Concrete Repairs Vs Quikrete's ?

Hello,

Have tried the Quikrete concrete repair products, a bunch of different
ones, including the additives for, for small concrete repairs around our
steps, etc several times.

Have always been disappointed. Both with the adhesion to the older
stuff, how smooth it finishes up to, looks, etc.

Was just wondering: *in a very general sense, are the Sika Corporation
products any better, or pretty much the same "stuff" ?

Thanks,
Bob


It not the product that usualy fails its the prep, removing mold and
acid etching or getting a clean rough sound bond, I bet you didnt use
acid or a powerwasher or get the surface right. Even clean looking
concrete thats been exposed to elements isnt truely clean unless you
just busted it out into new solid concrete.
