started filling in the cracks

Image for: started filling in the cracks

here's what i have so far. First i put the hydro cement on the crack...that stuck really well.

Then i used the sand mix cement.

That took a little longer to set.

I had a bit of trouble getting it to just the right texture.

After I put in on with the trowel, I let it set.

I heard that you need to cover it with plastic or something, but i didn't bother. It was kind of chilly so i figured the water wouldn't evaporate that quick.

I sprayed it down with the hose every 12 hrs or so.
