FYI, homeowners, this video shows how I re-surfaced the top of this concrete. I used Poly Bond. However, there is a simplified version from Home Depot and or Lowes.
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-10-lb-Vinyl-Concrete-Patch-Repair-113311/100318504
The material I used is not sold at either of these stores but only plastering yards as it is specifically engineered to attach styrofoam to base coated walls.
Thus I recommend you purchase the Quickrete for your repairs.
Also, folks can google concrete resurfacing products, which can be purchased at HD and or Lowes.
Will this be a permanent fix? Of course not.
It’s best folks pay the one or two thousand to cut out the new Rebar set with Dobies as enforcement and repast with concrete.
However, not all folk’s have the cash to do this. I changed 300 dollars for this temporary fix, that who knows, may last a lifetime, but doubtful.🤔

Hey Kirk, will Polybond stick to a dusty surface?
REALLY???
It will probablybond to it try it out and record it. Also make sure to do an update video.
@ Joe Pol Yeah, the more the better.

you know the manufacturer is going to watch this video and start selling it after they see how successful it works as a repair for concrete
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. good to hear from you glad you're doing alright and still slinging mud. Take care.
does anyone know of any products available in the uk that can skim over concrete like this?
i'd imagine scrim adhesive would be the u.k equivalent of what kirk is using here, very sticky cementicious adhesive, sets really hard, various brands like alumasc, webber, enewall sell their own versions, from a 20 year plasterer ; )
Evening David, not sure these are sold in the UK, but here I'd recommend Rapid Set Concrete Leveler," or Sakrete, it’s a fast setting leveling resurfacer or at Home Depot,
Quikrete concrete leveler.

@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. The bearded plasterer. Ha ha
Hey Kirk, I have a question:
I want to repair some spots (new cables and outlets) in my wall. It has a lime cement plaster with, I think, a plaster surface. I want to use plaster for it. Would you recommend it and should I prime the wall or is pre-wetting enough?
Evening Majin, if they are just cable holes you can simply caulk them.
Another way is to use some real lime plaster or if inside use Diamond finish, it's foolish to buy a bag or base coat and finish coat if you just need some holes plugged.
You can buy Diamond veneer finish at westside building materials in Oakland. Diamond is a mixture of limestone and gypsum.

@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. lol. Quick question. In my basement I have cinder block foundation. There are big gaps in the blocks what is best to use to fill them in to make them air tight so I can rebuild the rotten wall over them?
Thanks man, very informative & useful!

That's not fair.
We all should be equal and be able to buy stuff like this you're using here.
So go to the brickyard and buy a bag-no one is stopping you.…
I'm just a homeowner; I go to the material yards all the time. I just tell him cash sale, generally use my credit card or cash. ( I think they prefer the credit card actually over cash) ie a bag of Portland is $11 at The Big Box store I'll pay 8 at the material yard. and they load it right in your truck no hassle you're in and out usually quicker, much more convenient than the big box. I'm not sure what a contractor pays but I just saved $3
Good morning Dino, of course anyone can buy, Poly Bond, i's sold at all the plastering yards. It takes quite some time to learn how to use this material properly, and it's not engineered for this purpose.
thus, "I recommend Rapid Set Concrete Leveler," or Sakrete, it’s a fast setting leveling resurfacer or at Home Depot, Quikrete concrete leveler, these are user friendly.

Is exterior styrofoam molding sold to the general public?
Good morning, absolutely, google styrofoam companies near me, and shop online to find the ones, you are looking for. Or Westside building supplies sells them in Oakland.
Also you can google plastering yards near me, call to check first, if they stock them.

Kirk the honest plasterer, I like the straight talk
It might be better to have a drain guy to do a cameria inspection of that storm drain. There may a hole in the pipe that is pushing the sub dirt from under the pavement. Also they can have a foam guy lift the slab up.
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Great video Kirk. We had a residential client with a similar problem.
A replacement sanitary drain was laid under their drive about 20 years ago.
The contractor back then filled with soil; not stone or rock around the pipe.
When it rains, the storm water runs along the drive, up to an expansion joint
at the pipe location, and then disappears in the joint. This had caused the slab to settle about
3 inches. A concrete leveling firm pumped 5 yards of their pressure grout
into the void under the slab and raised it to the level of the rest of the drive.
Owner asked me what else to do? I suggested he use an elastic urethane
to seal the expansions joints. That seemed to solve the problem.
The key to this is to avoid water influx under any slab or concrete horizontal
surface as it will eventually scour and cause damage.
@pensive69 Great advice, when they get the dough this is an option. They have checked out the cost from contractors to remove and repour, I have heard of Companies doing what you have done, It's definitely a more cost-effective approach.
What a fucking mess. Such waste of money and bad workers. Keep repeating everything over and over again
Howdy wanna be money man, that's just jealousy talking, besides I make rules while others follow rules set, I imagine possibilities while other do as their told, I create, while others scream, he's different, yes indeed I am, I do while other dream, this is why our channel has other 30,000,000 views, thats alot of zero's my friend, close to a gazillin.

Sound Plastering tips for the DIY beginner’s and Plastering experts
One of the best instructional you have ever produced guys.
I think I know why the water part is such a recurring issue.
Most of us do it yourself guys, never used a power washer, not to mention a gas powered one.
So ..for me at least, it want obvious just how much important it is to make sure the old concrete is not just damp.. but wet inside as well, for a good mechanical bond. But I do have a tip for those without a notion as to how to damp the old surface.
Get an old bedsheet even. Cover the surface with it and drench it with water. And let it hang there for an hour, while making sure it’s always drenched with water.
That should do it.
Also..another tip for good bonding is first brush the surface with a water thinned cement ..simple one. Like a. Painting texture.
As cement is basically a sort of adhesive ..combining it with water like that will connect the two layers.. old and new ..better.
Just make sure that the brushed cement is still at least damp when you apply the top layer of concrete. If it’s dry then you need to wet it again
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc.
good advice. I also rigged a wire brush myself so I could mount it on a jigsaw . Pretty funny.
Will an acid wash . Like 30% acid, do the trick as well? That is.. if you ever heard of it
Hadn't watch your channel in some time, but enjoying this one. You guys are like good friends. Have a good one!
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. yes indeed. Thank you Kirk, Jason, and the rest of the Giordano family!
It looks like it's part of a city sidewalk in which case it seems it should be fixed by them. Perhaps the property line goes to the street.
Good morning RK Dude, the city makes the homeowner pay, as a rule.
The city will come and fix it if a citizen complains, then bill the person who owns the home.

Weld Crete wouldn't help with this?
hmm maybe a bag of floor levelling compound?
did you stop it from puddling anymore or did it keep sinking ?
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Yeah I wouldn't want to spend 3 grand right now either thats for sure and it looks good anyway. sometimes good enough is better

Well I don't want to put a hole in your boat, the lines are called control joints, expansion joints are oil impregnated fiber board. Usually installed next to drive cut, or to marry garage floor to driveway. And used in many other applications.

Thank you Kirk ! The pavement looks great !
This is a very talented individual deep knowledge
maybe not so much talking
@2wheel charlie Howdy Charlie, sad but true.
So you want to learn things without listening? Good luck with that.
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Man its almost fascinating how a person will go out their way to be negative. Like if it was too much talking, why did she stay and listen? Like why not just find another video after the 1st 30 seconds. Why watch,dislike, scroll down click in the dialogue and type out your negative feelings as if it was somehow important or helpful. I mean, this is a tutorial video,one should expect a barrage of information or information in general i.e talking.. LOL shyts crazy these days man. Jeesus! . Glad youre an O.G and smooth and saavy enough to humorously and subliminally deflect arseholes on Youtube. Keep doing ya thing Kirky. Bless
@Jordan W Probably need flash cards or words with very BIG letters and lots of vibrant colors with pictures.. i mean the dude even religiously posts " Bringing to all the worlds most comprehensive encyclopedia of free plastering video’s ever put together… " then again probably does not know what an encyclopedia is , so i guess i shouldnt be so harsh. .
nothing suprises me these days

that WILL NOT LAST in a freeze thaw situation like in iowa but in california where you have no frost movement it might work moisture will get under the topping and freeze and pick the patch
Sleepy Joe Jr.
I would recommend to use cement leveler and then re-surfacer concrete — perfect prepared
your experience overhauls the engineering of any product. if you truly believe this is the way to go, than that's what it is. companies create product to make money, and i think a lot of people watching are here to save money.
Great job! Why listening to you your voice for a while is very similar to Pres Trump!
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. I don't hear it at all. You have a very unique inflection that I think the majority of us love to listen to!…which can't really be said about the other. 🙂
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Man, for sure, if you just sat there not saying anything it would make the videos super boring. Love learning from you! I agree, days and weeks of research!
Kirk beautiful family. And amazing work you do. And thank you for showing how your driveway looks 5 years later with heavy use. It’s amazing.
I’ve patched widows with the help of your videos. Resurfaced my yard with acrylic stucco . And now will do my driveway and hope it looks as nice as yours .
Sorry for all the people who criticize without watching listening and having no clue,
your kind is a few and in between many more years to you and yours sir
Kirk, I'm wondering about the mix, ratio sand to poly? I love to plaster so I would really like the ratio sand to poly so I can do a small repair on my driveway. No, I don't like the product at HD OR LW. I get my material at the yard
i second this , also "polybond" it sounds like a denture cream ,and listening to Kirk he sounds like an infomercial pitchman with that perfect radio announcer voice ,if i close my eyes i feel like i'm watching an infomercial for a denture cream LOL
dentures keep falling out ? ,try polybond
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. You replied, LOL. I can hardly wait to get started. First let make sure when you say sand, is it the stucco or sand that I would use concrete? No Poly- Bond for teeth, Lol. I color coated a whole house thanks to your videos. Next is my driveway then, another house. Thanks, KG
Thanks again for the great video. I really do enjoy your channel.
Hi Kirk thanks to you I did all the stucco walls in my yard . I caulked all the hair lines and then used Commercial Grade Quikrete with Hydraulic Water- stop Cement .
I was able to seal a whole I had i my wall and water proof my basement . After that I painted my stucco walls in the my yard with Sherwin Williams Loxon xp Water proofing Masonry Coating. I trying to send you a picture but I have trouble sending it to you . I even build a small garden wall for my yard .
I really help again its about cement and know you don't cement . But know you know this question . I three cement cracks blocks in my yard . Two are medium size and the other is half of one block . I don't want to pull them out . I just want to go over them and fill them up with cement . My question is ? I been told not to mix Grade Quikrete with Hydraulic with Commercial Grade Quikrete Mason Mix Type & Mortar . I was told it will crack ? Is this true ? I didn't have enough to fill the whole and have to get more and it did get hairline cracks . I tried very hard to do this and wasn't easy for me but I am not giving up . Please help me and suggest to me what I am doing wrong ? I will try and send pictures . I Proud of my self the yard looks nice . But I want to do the cement blocks before it gets too cold . You are helping everyone one and a blessing for all of us . Thank you .
hey k g you are bad ass man. you talk like rocky balboa and you look like bon scott! I like yur taste in work trucks too.
Thanks Kirk. This is very helpful
I re surfaced massive 300sqm /2300sqf driveway (30 yo concrete driveway) about 4 years ago , I hired a concrete grinder for 400$/day , then add about 20-25 mm (about an inch) of 25mpa concrete on top,I didn't use polybond but grind it. It's still looks fine ,no cracks ,no damages .
But I will use polybond in another job to see is it worth to use it instead of grinding ?
Couldn’t a service come in and pump up the sidewalk instead of this process?
That looks like a city sidewalk in California a sidewalk is public property and not owned by the homeowner so it would be the City responsibility. Not sure the location of this property

Great job Kirk
Hi Kirk! Thanks for sharing. Is it LaHabra Poly-Bond that you are using? I want to try that stuff. Here in Canada, frost & de-icing salt are the most harmful things to cement or stucco. Maybe that cimenticious adhesive can keep water from getting between layers. You would not like it here in winter. 😉 Great video, stay safe.
