Any suggestions on material to use for repairing concrete steps, filling in cracks, voids, etc.?
I already know to use some rebar for the bigger voids. Just wondering what will bond well and not look too out of place. Seem to have seen ads in magazines. Is that stuff any good?
Thanks.

My experience is that patching is always temporary and obvious. That said, my back steps have many patches and look bad, but I just dont want to break them out. The patching materials are somewhat good, but not really worth the money. I use them because they are convenient, but you can mix up your own cheaper.

I have used this stuff and had great results. Some of the repairs I did 10 years ago are still going strong.
Thanks for your help!
