Can You Fix Concrete With Glue?

- Broken concrete can be fixed by bonding or gluing the pieces back together. There are a few options available to you and what adhesive material you use depends on what type of bond you need for the concrete repair.
Concrete urethane is a reliable product for fixing some broken concrete, and is a much better and stronger concrete adhesive agent than silicone. Concrete urethane provides a solid bond and has flexibility, similar to silicone (which is not the correct product to use for fixing broken concrete), that may be needed in certain repairs, especially if outdoors and exposed to both hot and cold weather. The fluctuating temperatures cause expansion and contraction which the flexibility of the urethane can handle.
Construction grade adhesive or construction epoxy is another product that will give you a very strong bond for fixing broken concrete. It does not have the flexibility that concrete urethane has and this limits some of the repairs construction adhesive can be used for. It has an incredibly strong, especially if the repaired concrete is in a controlled environment.

I love the way you just deliver the meat and potatoes, straight to the point without 20 min of unnecessary commentary. TY!
This channel should be mandatory learning for anyone starting in construction
Great video and info, yep I just repaired a birdbath and really got into it! Have a good weekend!
Thanks, you too!
After the concrete adhesive dries, could we put concrete mix over it to hide the adhesive or would it interact and make it weaker?
How on earth could his perfectly mixed concrete break ?
Thanks for the helpful videos. I want to make concrete products (tables, functional/ decorative/ sculpture items) where I add to it my own pre-made acrylic paint colored/ modified/ fortified concrete / mortar based 'tessera' decoration ( that has been textured, stamped/ or cast as lettering/ words, when it helps to have parts pre-made). Is there any way to add such concrete based decoration to wet concrete, AS you build the wet concrete sculpture, etc, (say for example if you are using an acrylic fortified mortar for sculpting, or perhaps by stamping the concrete with this decorative part & then using a sticky acrylic based slurry to add the part?) or must you add such concrete based decoration ONLY by gluing it to the concrete sculpture/ etc only after the structure has cured? (e..g. using 'mosaic' methods in select areas)
To clarify my question- I am concerned about these 2 stages of concrete/ different stages of curing (between the small, colored concrete pre-made, cured decorative pieces, added onto the larger, wet, sculpture piece)...which leaves me to wonder about issues with shrinking, cracking, etc. It adds a lot of extra issues/ steps, if you must add the parts after sculpting, as a separate stage (like mosaic process); so I wonder if that is the only way to go?
What method would you use?
