Thanks I have reservations with repairing sandstone as its a porosous material. However I've been told by a builder(alledgedlly)that you need a bonding in the cement ie an expoxy for a succesfull bond to the sandstone. However tats for sandstone that will not get affected by any traffic. Look up in google...sandstone repair...before ttempting the repair. Your problem is going to have traffic regulary over it and thats not good?depending where the sandstone repair is? Can you not tile over it? |
