A Self Bonding Cement Mix
A one-part, self-bonding, cement base patching material specifically formulated for thin-section repairs to existing surfaces. When used as directed, it has superior bonding power to regular sand and cement boxes and adheres securely to concrete, masonry and stucco. The material requires only the addition of clean water. Exhibits the colour of concrete, and may be used on interior and exterior installations. Edges feather easily, does not shrink and Top-N- Bond develops exceptional strength. Final set is obtained in 4-5 hours, depending on relative surface and air temperature.
