decoy1979 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Any form of epoxy mortar/resin should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Any form of epoxy mortar/resin should do the trick. +1 you need a cement that can flex....although the problem is always where it joins the standard G class...as it is a harder/more brittle compound...

p@cman Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 This would do the job > Weber Pyrapatch < I've used this to repair a warehouse floor that has regular fork truck traffic and it has worked very well. I've heard that it gets used for temporary repairs on airport runways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
