PC Products PC-Crete Epoxy Putty, 2oz Tube

I live in a concrete block house in which the walls have been sandblasted and left uncovered. After taking down some cabinets that had been mounted with heavy-duty wedge anchors, one of my kitchen walls was left with some very noticeable holes. And giving myself a choice between patching those craters versus creating some LED "artwork" with a discarded string of lights and a pattern dictated by the scattered cavities, I unwisely chose the latter. My excuse was that I didn't want to waste a large tube of concrete patch for only a half-dozen holes. Most visitors were polite in the same way that adults kindly compliment a five year-old's finger painting. And although their labored praise was never enthusiastic, except for that provided by my overly supportive sister, it was enough to keep my delusion and art installation in place for about fifteen years. Sadly, I'm not kidding. Well this weekend, after snapping the bolt of another heavy-duty wedge anchor, I needed to find something to cover my mistake before my business partner (the guy built the house) came over and noticed. Embarrassment is a powerful motivator, so I ordered PC-Crete. After ten minutes of cutting off some putty, the holes and my artwork were no more, and I couldn't even find them. So fast. So simple. So much so that the scarring once featured on my kitchen wall has moved to my ego. The embarrassment I now feel for featuring my artistic solution (read procrastinating) is equal to the regret I have for wearing bell-bottoms in junior high. In both cases, I blame my sister.

I have found this product is great to help small screws stayed anchored in masonry. I have used it to mount several security cameras that came with sub-par screw anchors for tiny screws. Just fill the hole with the putty while it's still malleable and screw it in. It cures enough to be secure within 30 minutes. I have had my tube for several years and contrary to others' reviews, it does not seem to go bad over time. It might look slightly different than it did when it was new, but it still works just fine.

I bought this because a bird bath I inherited had two cracks in it and was losing water. I expected it to be a bit softer. It took a bit of work to get it blended and by then it was starting to dry. It pushed into the crack easily and dried quickly. When it's dry it looks just like the surrounding concrete. When the bird bath gets wet though, it looks like white plaster, almost. It is obvious it's a patch. I wouldn't use it on anything really obvious and expect it to blend but the birds don't seem to mind.

This works great. I fixed the nose on a concrete statue. It really binds to the item well. If I am not mistaken , I believe that it works well on wood also. I will be trying that out soon.

I have an older brick home, and I am constantly filling in small areas where mortar has come loose or popped out over the years. Usually, I usually use mortar repair caulk, but I had a very small job this time around, and I did not need an entire tube of caulk. I am so glad I found this. It is similar to "play doh" or "silly putty." You mold it between your fingers to "mix" and then you press it into your mortar, shaping as you go. Much like silly putty, you can roll it between your hands to form a long "snake" shape, which works great for slim mortar joints. Dries quickly and adhered well to my preexisting mortar. Three tips: 1) Even though the instructions show you can mix this with bare hands, the epoxy will leave residue on your skin. You may want to use gloves for easier cleanup; 2) One tube does not go far so you probably want to pick up a couple tubes if you have bigger project; 3) The color of the epoxy does not exactly match my brick mortar (but then again, the mortar repair caulk does not match either). Just a heads up if it extremely important that you match the color of your item to the epoxy.

Really good product once you mold it and was successful in my project

I purchased this product to repair two concrete statues. It worked great for both applications. The first was the popular man holding a lantern. His arm that holds the lantern had started to deteriorate and I was afraid his hand was going to come off. I used this and then repainted and good as new. It's very easy to use. You just pull off a small amount and kneed it and roll it in your hand to combine the two different ingredients. Then its like putty and you just press it where its needed and mold it into the shape you want. In a little bit when it was dry I sanded it and painted and it looked great. My second application was a concrete goose. His head had gotten knocked off. There was enough left to slip over the metal rod in its neck. I used this to fill in the giant gap that was left. Again it worked great and dried hard as a rock. Sanded and painted and it too looked great. This saved me from having to scrap two nice concrete statues. I thought it was reasonably priced for the large size you get.

I have some 2' to 3' Garden statues that are made of a fine, white cement and this putty looks just like it. An Angels wings broke and weere chipped up and I was able to mold and shape new ones that look like the original. You cannot tell it's broken now. I may end up painting it, but they don't need it. Once you open it, It needs to be air tight to store. It dries fast so you need to work pretty quickly with it once you start. Within about 15 minutes it will begin to set. I highly recommend this stuff.
