How to repair spalled concrete outdoor ottoman surfaces?
Spalled concrete on outdoor ottomans can be unsightly and weaken the structure. Follow these steps to restore it effectively:
1. Assess the Damage: Remove loose concrete and clean the surface with a wire brush or pressure washer.
2. Prepare the Area: Apply a concrete bonding adhesive to ensure the new layer adheres properly.
3. Mix Repair Material: Use a polymer-modified concrete patch or a pre-mixed repair mortar for durability.
4. Apply the Patch: Fill the spalled area evenly, smoothing it with a trowel.
5. Cure and Seal: Let it dry for 24-48 hours, then apply a concrete sealer to protect against future damage.
Regular maintenance, like sealing every few years, can prevent spalling. For severe damage, consult a professional.
