>>Rockite is made for just what you are trying to do
Read this and thought that's just what I need to patch a place in the garage floor, so went to their website to see where I could buy it. Thought I would share the first question on their FAQ page.
Q. We want to use Rockite to cover up 1/2" embedded steel bars on Institutional Beds, that were used to handcuff prisoners to their beds etc. They are no longer allowed to do this so they want the embeded steel bar to be cut out and covered with Rockite or concrete etc. My question is can we use it for this application. And the other thing is the area to cover is aprox: 12" long x 2" wide x 2" depth, and that is flat on a cell bed. So when it is covered it will cover the area where the embeded steel was before. After this is done they will use an small prisoner mattress aprox: 2.5 inches thick and set on top, so prisoners can sleep on it. We want to know that Rockite is safe for this application.
A. Yes Rockite will do what you require.
what I suggest is that once you have cut out the steel bars remove all debris etc. Then dampen the recess that you have created. This will help the mixture key into the concrete and also slow down the amount of absorption of water from the mixture of Rockite.
Mix your Rockite into a paste like batter and simply pour into recess. The Rockite will self level with the top of the concrete base and should have an initial set within 15-20 minutes and be stronger that the concrete base after an hour.
Rockite has no VOC's and is very safe to use in this application.
