I want to patch this step so the patch doesn't come off so easily.What
do I have to use,cement and some type of chemical? Thanks


1. Chip, grind and brush off everything loose and/or deteriorated

2. Clean the area with acid

3. Drill one or more appropriately sized holes

4. Pack mortar into the holes

5. Insert rebar "dowels" in holes so they stick out as they are to anchor the
patch

6. Form the patch with concrete if patch is large enough, mortar if not.


Do I have to mix any chemicals in the concrete to make it stronger?
