I am (STILL!!) working on repainting my concrete porch (approx 10x10 + 2 steps).




Scraping off decades of paint is a bitch. Earlier layers oil-based;


later ones water-based (California banned oil-based). Uneven wearing.


Spots that look like beaches on a lake...various depths.








In past years I used SOMETHING ???? to fill in that did not wear well.








Paint store heard my sad story & said Bondo could be used to fill in low spots.








Bondo possible?

I've used Top'n Bond many times over the years for concrete filling.

There's also Quikrete Concrete Resurfacer. I did my very badly pitted

garage floor with this product a couple of years ago. We don't park any

cars in the garage, so I'm not surprised that it's stood up very well to

foot traffic.

Interesting.

The site said "
QUIKRETEŽ Concrete Resurfacer (No. 1131) is a special blend of portland cement, sand, polymer modifiers and other additives. Designed to provide a shrinkage compensated repair material for making ***thin repairs*** to sound concrete in need of surface renewal. Can be squeegee, trowel or brush applied.

What do you think they mean by "thin repairs". The "leprosy" spots on my concrete porch are mostly *less* than 1" deep. Would the Quikcrete product work?

TIA
