We had a contractor do the curbing and it appears to be just Portland cement! They used a small machine that makes the curb mold! Then you just pick the surface pattern!

It doesn't come pre-mixed, so you'll need to mix it with water. It's useful to have another container that you can mix with. Just make sure they can hold the same amount of volume, otherwise you'll need a good way to measure the mix. Typically I keep an old used coolant jug (rinsed of course) from the generic brands for this purpose. Like many others have said, 50/50 is best recommended.

Brutus could handle thick cement. It's got a good amount of torque. We mixed both stucco and lime plaster. They're both thick. And Brutus did a great job mixing them.

i used Quikrete 80 lb. Concrete Mix Model # 110180 or if you want a smoother top finish u can add Quikrete60 lb. Sand/Topping Mix Model # 110360 and mine held up ok. Just dont rush it and make it to dry or it will crumble.

It's a "regular" plastic model... so I suspect any plastic cement will work. I like the Testors model plastic cement, it's $2 and dries really fast

Concentrated - needs to be diluted with water - approximately 50-50 mix, depending on where you live

Putty knife and a hammer would work great. Just put the putty knife between the concrete and plastic and hammer it in to remove the adhesive.

Rubber cement is perfect for pasting labels. It will hold a seal underwater. (There were two questions)

Hi, try to mix smaller amount , powder and concrete, and see. That is what I would do. It could work, my only concern is color of concrete , if concrete would be transparent, but it is not.Just try small amount, I have faith, that it could work.

No needNo need to mix. Just attach the garden hose and the sprayer will mix the correct amount. I also bought the 1 gal. and I just pour it into the 1 qt. sprayer .

The cement I purchased is made to glue paper together that can be easily taken apart. This is NOT the type of glue used to repair car tires.

You can either spread a layer of thin set mortar over it or self leveling compound. Just make sure it's flat for tile.

Use any standard rotary drill at medium-low speed with plenty of water for cooling. No hammer drill; that will crack any ceramic/marble/granite.

You can use white glue. I have heard that hot glue also works. Personally, I'd go for good old rubber cement. The main thing is to avoid any glue containing sulfer.

Per Radon user manual (available ontheir website).... No"The concrete must be completely clean and bare. Remove all paints, sealers, adhesives, curing or form releasecompounds. Clean off dirt, oil, grease, wax, efflorescence, and other contaminants that might interfere withpenetration of the sealer.Make sure that the substrate is porous. Confirm that it readily absorbs drops of water or apply the sealer in a test area. If needed, increase the surface porosity by sanding, grinding, or acid etching."

Needs cement.The instructions tell you what to do.We didn't have enough, and had to get more.So make sure you get an extra bag.I had my 13 year old son help me and we did just fine.

I used a square base of 4x4 treated lumber. The instructions call for a concrete base but in my experience that's overkill.
