Polybond on a driveway mixed with sand
Polybond adhesive cement, Poly-Bond
You might say why not use plain mortar, cement plaster usually called stucco in the U.S. and or render in the U.K? Excellent question, answer, in the last century, Portland based products have a Very high strength, they also set quick and are water resistant but will not stick well to old concrete without a bonding agent first applied.
Poly Bond is a polymer modified Portland based cement product What the heck does this mean?
Another great question, this product has a greater flexural strength, than Portland cement plaster by itself.
Hello everyone, in this video, I am sharing an experience I have had with a material (Poly-Bond) which specifically engineered to attach Styrofoam to stucco wall surfaces.
I corrected this driveway with poly bond and added sand well over 20 years ago as it’s my own.
This material is not advertised for this purpose nor will the company (la Habra) warrant such an action, the video is simply to show my pal how to do his own.
I have found that with a bit of imagination some materials work well for more than its original intention.
I am showing my pal with this video how to do this easy repair, any of you folks who think you want to try, you do so at your own rick as, Poly Bond is not eeng for this purpose.

kirk if I mix it with sand can I use it for cracks on driveway?
G'day Duarte, you could, however, there are caulking that are much faster for this repair.

Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. yes I know about the caulks, I just done think they look natural
This works over asphalt and bonds fine? If you wanted a deeper skim over a whole driveway, or leveling out certain sections, could instead of or with sand, cut it with pea gravel to make it look more like asphalt?
G'day Gil bates, the product, Poly Bond" made by Lahabra, is cementitious adhesion, so it bonds to anything as long as that substate is incredibly clean. Nothing adheres to a dusty surface. For larger areas than this, read the description as this fix is not user-friendly for those who have little plastering skills.
Plus, Poly-Bond is only sold at plastering yards.

Hello I am interested in your driveway fix with polybond. Due to the area I live I will be using quikete. I'm wanting to fix a bsmt floor using your method. The cracks are approx 1/8" some up to 2" where the floor has given way and busted along with shifting creating uneven areas. Problem is around a drain with a 6ft radius primarily towards the back wall. The yard has been grated and beams put in to secure the bsmt wall. Now the floor is unsightly.
My question is do I need to power wash the area? How long does it need to dry? Can I use the same product to fill the cracks and level up the surface? You mentioned no more than1/8" thick. A few areas maybe closer to 1/4 or 1/2". I have chased the crack with a grinder and chisled some to reduce the height difference creating more of a slope rather than a drop off.
To give you a better mental image areas towards the outside wall have actually broken off and sunk. Before coming across your video I was going to fill the gaps wih backer rod and use tubes of self leveling poly sealer. The area is large enough my method would be daunting. Along with needing to prime. Which I believe I can avoid using your method?
Thanks in advance.
Howdy Michaela, if the are has sunk once, it may again.
I would suggest cleaning the area by wire brush or pressure washing. Many self cement levelers are sold at Home Depot, and Lowes, the product I'm showing in this video, "poly-bond is not user-friendly, plus only sold at plastering yards.
Backer rods are okay for areas that don't move much, but for locations around concrete, I would personally fill back with concrete.

You think if sand was added to the Quikcrete product that it could be applied 3/4 of inch thick?
Evening Steve, sand needs to be added to all cement plasters, usually 3 times as much as the cement plaster.
The product I'm using is not user-friendly. However, it is an adhesive cement thus will adhere better and without the need for bonding agents.

@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thanks for the reply Kirk. I was asking if the Quikcrete Vinyl Patch you talk about in your description would react the same way the product you use in the video. If I add a 3 to 1 sand to it can I get more than the 1/4 inch thickness limit the Quikcrete is limited to in one application. Or would I be safer just appling the Quikcrete 3 times to get 3/4 inch thick patch. Anyway , I'm happy to have stumbled across your video , I was trying to figure a way to get rid of some water collecting bellies in a poured concrete patio before laying down some pavers in the spring. Thanks for the great video!
Could this be used on an icf foundation?
Evening David, I suppose so, as the ICF foundation uses foam as underlayments, but it still concrete on the top or surface.

Was any other prep work required? Wire wheels? Scrape out rocks, loose materials? Bonding agent suggested?
I know you've used bonders between old and new concrete materials before.

What about cure time before traffic…? Is this a hot mud?

Please stick to stucco work stay away from concrete you have no idea what your doing when it comes to concrete.. cut out an replace that little shit you showed 800.. not 4000.. also what you just did is all gunna have spider web cracks all over it in 3 months . Show the video of your job few weeks later. Lol your a total asshole for thinking you know anything about concrete.. im a concrete guy been doin it 40 years .. people who would try this think again.. dont do it
i think the point is using the "poly bond" and that's why the fill and skim coat would work where concrete would fail.
Evening dumbass, with an idiot thumbnail of a name, btw, the name is as derogatory as you are ignorant.
Folks reading, in the link below, this is just the kind of asshole I was referring to in that video.

Hey 3pc. You could stand a few lessons in diplomacy and tact. Rudeness won't win you but one prize and that's asshole of these comments. If you've been in the concrete business you should know where you need the extra strength of a 6 sack concrete mixture and check the slump, air, and water ratio and when you can use less expensive materials and methods. This guy was just showing a cheap less expensive way to do a job that results may or may not last as long as a complete redo. Just cause you've been in the business for 40 yrs. does not make you an expert. You've probably been guilty of picking up some bad habits of your own in your business that could use a lil' more detail or gaining a lil' more knowledge. Things and products change everyday and sometime an old dawg gets complacent and could educate theirselves on some new tricks.
Nasty guy… go to church and stop being so hateful. You're only hurting yourself
how can you have such an Italian last name and such an un-Italian first name?

I'm gonna give this a try. I've got a fairly large spot that was dug out and repoured a couple years ago and fell back out the same way, so I really don't think it would hurt a thing to give this a try. If it lasts two or three years it's done just as well as a repour, still $ ahead. So thanks for this,and I doubt anyone making negative comments has tried it and really shouldn't have an opinion till they do. Don't sweat the petty shit, and don't pet the sweaty shit. Thanks again and don't mind the assholes.
I thought it needs a primer first?
Ok thanks. After we do the deep holes patching we will be laying thin 1 1/4 pavers.

How much sand did you add?
Hi Kitk, Thank you for video!. Which method would you recommend when sections of concrte sidewalk squares are missing? I Several neighbors have this. Might be 18 × 18 inch (or so) pieces missing, some pieces completely gone, w dirt under it. Sone with top layers gone, so exposed , bumoy, stone aggragate is showing.
Would Sakreet w a polymer bond powder added be better, or migjt you recommend your method?
Neigbhbors are trying to see if decent (looks and fubctionl) DIY repairs can be done, w/o the huge expense..
THANK YOU!
My fav video in construction . I love a man that is a master of his craft .
I'm surprised you didn't wet the concrete first before applying the skimcoat ….
Gmorning Kirk today I’m l’ll be using a product called QUIKRETE concrete patcher to level my garage floor. Im mixing concrete patcher product with sand mix, liquid concrete bonding adhesive product, and pouring antifreeze to the mix instead of water
Any advice if the formula I’m using would or wouldn’t work
I really appreciate it and have a bless Sunday
During quarantine 2020. This is my next project as I’ve learned the methodology/ “How to’s” from your presentation. Thank you, sir.
Hey Kirk, love the videos. I’ve read through your description but can’t find anything that mention polybond alternatives that can be purchased from HD.
Great video. Was wondering how many parts sand and water to polybond would you recommend to get a similar finish such as the one shown here
You are Cleaver man, thank you
hey Kirk after watching you for the 1st time i decided to do this by myself wish me luck
Great job

Hey Kirk, nice video and I just love your no nonsense approach, I am thinking of doing the same with my concrete patio but the last time I used a rapid set cement without any bonding agent and it cracked off 2 years later. Will this happen again if I use unibond and rapid set?
Hi Keven, I'm surprised it lasted two years.
I recommend, "Rapid Set Concrete Resurfacer" or QUIKRETE ReCap Concrete Resurfacer

Love all your videos. But this concrete repair would last about a year in canada.
Can you add color to it when mixing?
The old concrete must be wet before you start applying the product, if not , you wont get the max mechanical bond
that why he power washed it.
Poor concrete guy probably could have really used that 4000
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Couple thousand years ago there were Brotherhoods that would have had people beheaded for telling everyone the secrets of certain skills that were passed down from fathers to sons and so on…
It means nothing anymore to spend our lives learning a trade especially in a small town those guys really depend Upon the work in the area that they are known. Knowledge used to be a gift that had to be earned. But now it's just freely given to anyone and everyone.. usually its by people that dont have sons to pass it down to or that are retired.. or will be soon enough that they don't care who gets the job.
Nice family ; )
is it ok that the surface is not lightly damp ?
thanks
Hi Kirk
I have a question
Can I use this material on pink ridgid foam on outside like a stucco finish or mortal type s do better job .
Thank you.
P. s.
In general what's your recommendation regarding applying on ridgid foam,what products ?
Thanks for the video but I have a question, slightly off the topic but at 3:25, was that $4k for the whole driveway or were you talking about Pesos?
No wonder prices are going up and every handyman wants $500 for the smallest job if there are dummies paying $4k for less than 30 sqft of concrete.
With that price I would expect to see some shiny diamonds in that tiny ramp.
Thank you for your NEIGHBORLY and advice (gratis). Could you kindly identify the exact POLYBOND mix or type of mix that you used.. My search = mostly referals to LIQUID Polybond products ,, Using only search word – POLYBOND.
Beautifully presented and job well done! Subd
Can you stain this like concrete?
Hello. I am in great need of fixing my driveway. I already bought the polybond. How much sand should I mix with the polybond? Thanks in advance.
sand is for the holes tn the driveway
kirk whats the MFG and ratio u used on polybond and sand, please share bratha , thanks and God Bless
COLD THE BEST I SEEN !….
Kirk, nice tip and a good looking family. Thanks, bro!
No need to prime or bond? Thank you.
How deep a crack can I use this method on. I had a sewer lateral that cut right through my driveway – 6 feeet long 2 feet wide – down to the mud and tree roots.
Can I use sand and polyblend to fill that? Also I have a really badly damaged pebblestone driveway topping with tree roots that have pushed one segment of a six segment driveway up about three inches. Can I use a concrete grinder to take that down then use plolyblend on top?
Thanks, (I'm an active senior woman that is tired of being told the job will cost me $25,000) Thanks!!!!
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to respond!
No worries, Kirk

I need to patch a huge hole in a concrete ceiling and I don’t know what to do. I tried mesh wire and a nail gun and none of the nails sank in the concrete.. I need help
Since I can’t find Lahabra polybond what can I buy at Home Depit or Lowe’s?
At the end you said polybond isn't designed for this. But it's your house and you can do it. What the heck does that mean? Should I do it to my driveway or not? If it's not designed for it why would you make a video to show us what to do and use? I'm confused. Lol
This is an awesome video the county I live in wants me to replace the concrete blocks because of cracks I looked at them like you crazy. This public walking space lol. I might just have someone do this instead
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. At 2:03 that crack reminds of a crack in garage (part of it is under the big garage door & part is outside of the door. there's probably some more minor cracks, all probably due to a quake. anyway:
I'd like it to be repaired into a safe/strong/long-lasting outcome, but the cheaper the better…what method should be used? if a pro is hired, what's a good price (in California)?
Hey if it holds up and needs redoing every 20 years what do I care that’s not too bad.
Question >> would it be ok if i take a spray bottle and spray the surface of what i am going to skim coat so that it sticks to it better or would it not make a difference?
Got it Kirk thanks for your reply and for all the amazing knowledge you share with us . It def goes along way and boy does it help.
Hello Kirk. I was wondering how this poly bond held up for 5 years can you maybe shoot a picture or do a quick video… looking to resurface my driveway and I did my yard with stucco like you recommended . 5 years but I used not best stuff with silica and wish I sealed it with clear! But it def made my yard look better.
So trying to decide best way to save and make driveway look better without tear out
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Which part of California do you serve? how much would doing what you did in this video cost, how long would it last, and why do you recommend doing it another way?
Great video. Looks like you may even have fun at your wonderful profession, and thanks for the tip!
He usually wets the surface to get a better bond.
4:58 we're still watching this cuz we like to watch others work!
That was a very good video, I have a concrete driveway with lots of cracks in it. I have a friend that is a plasterer stucco man. I need to get a hold of him and see if he can work with that polybond on my driveway Thanks for the video.
Looks good to me
You rock, dude. Thanks for the 411.
I'd like to see that driveway in a month . It will be back to cracks again. No good ! FAIL.
post your repair videos bro…
@MadCrew Airsoft hey from now on I'll get Kirk to do them because he is so awesome .
@Andrew Gravel still waiting for videos from the armchair trolls. questioning someone's skill requires posting your own skills. wut? no videos? LoLz…
Thanks for the video. I live in North Alabama which has 4 seasons, but, I'm going to try this on some cracks in my concrete. On a side note, please stay safe, those fires look really bad. We know what it's like having grown up and lived in SoCal.
Ya you make it look easy! Nice work! Gotta question,if you can help…Concrete bulk head cracks vertically and also on top of the bulkhead cap, can you suggest a product to repair voids? rusty rebar I'm sure causing concert to fail, 1970's built on Hood Canal Wa.
looks great but i notice you are in California , i wonder how this would hold up i New England with the winters and freezing temperatures
i would really like to use this to fix the floor in my detached garage which is unheated but does have an overhead door opened to keep out the water
i wonder if it would hold up as well and also can you put anything over it like a paint or a solid color stain or solid color sealer?
Would you recommend weld Crete before applying polybond? Thanks for posting.
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. thank you sir!
Awesome!
Hello! So after applying poly bond, what did you add on top of that? I would like to know what it was 🙂 thank you!
I think he put the sand inside the larger holes..and used the same mix for everything. I'm not sure if he made 2 batches or not..one with extra sand?
Edit: after re-watching it was 2 separate batches. The first batch had extra sand mixed in (unsure how much). Second was just straight polybond. You could use quikrete sand topping mix for the big holes and then skim coat everything with quikrete vinyl patcher.
he's wearing white working on concrete. lol
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. And your shirt remains white come the end of the job. That’s the sign of one who has mastered their craft.
FANTASTIC! Thanks.
thanks
Can a person use the Quikrete product to fill cracks in the driveway and crack between patio and the bricks?
Very interested watching you try and scrape out your bucket and get into square corners with your silly pool trowel.
NONE….. of these products are permanent "repairs"…. but by sealing the surface of the cracked slab, water is inhibited from getting down in between the crack. This is valuable as keeping water OUT of the crack reduces water entering the crack and then freezing and expanding, which causes the crack to grow. ( freeze and thaw cycles) so… these "surface " covering SLOW freeze thaw crack growth but THIS IS NOT A REPAIR
I guess I would of lightly dampened the concrete first.
Nice
you make it look easy , i wish I had your skills
How awesome is Kirk?
Kirk, could you provide a link to the product you used? Thanks much!
Its very relaxing watching other people work
This was 5 years ago. Can you show what it looks like now?
Good vid! Can you add color or paint or dye after Poly-Bond is good and dry?
Almost EVERY driveway in California for any house for sale has these cracks that need repair. Thanks for a quick solution.

I have never seen one cracked yet. but this is an interesting video cause I want to put a colored layer over my driveway (land boundary to house) and this has given me another idea. thanks matey.
So with the polybond possibly sand you don't need to "wet" the concrete like a usual resurfacer. Good "shit" this is a better solution than "white washing " your drive way with portland cement etc…
Good to know, thx boss,
@Brett Tracy no worries my friend.
Wow, i watched the other Video where you Helped out the Homeowner with the Water Problem Slab, Your Driveway in This Video has Held up Well. Yes I realize that Poly Bond is not used for Driveways but it Looks Amazing.
I got a sidewalk to repair at my church…at the moment your video is very interesting! Thx
Wonderful!
Random question, I am looking to improve the appearance of the aggregate/pea gravel surface around my pool, would a skim coat of poly bond adhere to that type of material?
Can I use driveway paint over this?
