E-Z Patch 2 Pool Patch Repair Kit for Pool Decks and Patios, DIY Concrete Repair (Sand Buff, 3 lbs.)

I needed to repair chunks of mortar that had fallen from a jacuzzi spillway and between the coping and jacuzzi wall that had cracked along a good 6-8 foot section and with higher water splashes was leaking through to the pool deck. My coping mortar is grey and the spillway sanded mortar is sand, so I figured this color (sand) would be close to both, and yup it's a nice sand color and dries lighter. Since this photo where you can clearly see the difference in colors where the repair work was done, it's dried 24h later to a perfect match to the sanded mortar and is obviously lighter than the grey concrete under the coping but that's hidden under the coping so I don't care.For those reviewers complaining about the directions, slow down and think about it. It's 1-1 powder and bonder and 3-1 water and powder, very simple. If you use enough powder to empty 1/3ish of the small container, then simply use 1/3ish of the little bottle of bonder, and mix in water to desired consistency of the resulting mortar - thinner to drip into cracks, thicker to push into cracks and build shapes to match larger cracks. It dries pretty quick so work fast and use a splash of water to fix what you mess up, super easy, don't overthink it (I dropped little blobs all over the place and they wiped up easy with a wet sponge). Wash up with clean water a few times to remove all the swirl marks from previous wipes, use more splashes of water to sand down over application areas and you're done.I was quoted $1,250-1,500 to have this done by the pool builder with a few weeks of wait time for such a tiny job... Or order this, get it next day, it's set on day 3 and get back to enjoying that money pit pool ;)

Overall I am satisfied

The curing agent for this kit is buried in the powder inside it. I tried to contact the seller without success so contacted Amazon when I received the first shipment and asked if the curing agent was inside the container or was separate. They told me it should be separate, so I returned the item and reordered it. Again, the container of powder arrived without any curing agent. I finally ordered a container of concrete curing agent to use with it.Once I opened the container to use the powder and mix for use, I found a small bottle of curing agent inside. The bottle isn’t enough for the whole container of powder (which is the consistency of dry mortar), but it was enough to mix up enough patch for our pool deck cracks.We power washed the pool deck and put some muriatic acid in the cracks prior to filling them with the mix. The mix did a good job repairing the cracks. The color was a little darker than our original deck, but it is fading with time and the cracks look much better. The filler has been in place for a month and there are no chips or breaks in it.I would recommend it as it is fairly easy to use if you follow the directions exactly.JUST BE AWARE THAT THE CURING AGENT IS BURIED IN THE CONTAINER!

OMG this worked amazingly. I was dubious going in- I’m a DIY lady, but still I’m not an expert in stone products. But, my pool edge looked like doo-doo so I figured it was worth trying before calling in a pro.The key to mixing if you aren’t using the entire container (which honestly I am not sure would be great anyways- I like small batches so it doesn’t dry out as fast and I can take my time)- use proportions/ratios. If you scoop out a 1/5 portion from the dry mix, use 1/5 of the liquid hardener and then add water til it’s a good consistency. For edges, I liked it a bit runnier so it really seeped into cracks well, then for tops a bit drier worked well for rougher texture.For reference, this was patching on 23 year old cool deck!!! Looks like new again. Time will tell on durability, but right now I’m just thrilled that it doesn’t look sketchy anymore.The middle picture shows the progression as the product dried: the farthest away were patched first, and the ones closest are the ones not patched yet.

Good product for patching "cool deck". It's very workable so you can get it to match the texture of existing deck. Be aware the smaller tub has only enough material for a very small patch. The 10lb tub is needed for larger (1sq ft) deck patches.

Company wanted $5000 to repair two cracks. This was a simple fix and match perfectly.

Loved this patch. Should have ours twice as much though!

Dont follow the directions on the container, which says 3 parts water to 1 part powder. You will end up with a useless soup. Instead slowly add water till you reach desired consistency. I poured $45 down the drain and bought the $14 quickcrete vinyl product which worked fine
