What are the best ways to repair spalling on concrete outdoor bar stools?
Spalling on concrete outdoor bar stools is a common issue caused by weathering, freeze-thaw cycles, or poor maintenance. To repair it effectively, follow these steps:
1. Clean the Surface: Remove loose concrete and debris with a wire brush or pressure washer.
2. Apply a Bonding Agent: Use a concrete bonding adhesive to ensure the repair material sticks properly.
3. Fill the Spalled Area: Use a high-quality concrete patching compound, smoothing it evenly with a trowel.
4. Cure Properly: Keep the repaired area moist for at least 24 hours to ensure strength.
5. Seal the Surface: Apply a concrete sealer to prevent future damage.
For deeper damage, consider epoxy injections or professional help. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your concrete stools.
