Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ is a two-part polyurethane that penetrates deep into concrete to make permanent repairs. Nearly thin as water at less than 8cps, Concrete Mender™ injects itself into the concrete matrix and shores up the existing concrete and repairs. Concrete Mender™ eliminates the bond line as it Micro-dowels into the concrete. We call it Micro-dowling™.

Use of 10 Minute Mender for concrete repair

10 Minute Concrete Mender can be used in many ways with ease depending on the type of problem and listed below are some common best practices to use.

1. Ultra-small cracks can be injected directly with 10 Minute Mender; cracks less than .5 mm.
2. Small slab cracks .5 mm - 2 mm usually require the crack to be crack chased with a diamond blade and crack wetted with the product first. Then wetting again while adding sand and troweling it into the crack and repeating, as necessary.
3.  Cracks that are a little larger 2 mm - 15 mm may require some sand inside the crack first to stop the product from simply draining out the bottom; 10 Minute Mender will drain through 4-7 cm (1.5-4 inches) dry sand without a problem. Apply enough 10-minute Mender to flood the sand and repeat it to the next layer. Mixing sand and mender together before applying into the crack can leave voids and may not flow far enough before starting to gel.
4.   Large cracks: 15 mm and up can be repaired by mixing 10 Minute Mender with 2 parts sand and troweling into the repair area.
5.  Concrete spalls are repaired the same as large cracks but do require that it be ground after with a hand grinder with a diamond cup wheel or floor grinder unit to get the right profile to match the current concrete.
6.  Broken or missing pieces of concrete can be repaired by using plastic or waxed cardboard as a form and mix product the same as for a large crack.
7.  Delamination can be solved by directly drilling holes into the affected area, but not all the way through the slab, then injecting the mender directly using the cartridge system into the delamination area or void. No sand is involved as part of the mix.
8.  It is recommended that if the repair is in a residence that 10 Minute Mender VO version be used so there is no fumes. The standard version if mixed in the wrong ratio may smell for an extended amount of time. Using the VO version will have no smell with very similar performance.

FAQ about Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender

Q. What kind of sand can be used with Concrete Mender?
A. We Recommend Silica Sand (sandblasting sand) because it is clean, dry, and consistent in size. You can use regular sand, but it must be dried, and the finer the better if no silica sand is available. Avoid using sand that has any dirt or contaminants in it.

Q. Why does 10 Min Mender cost more than other products?
A. Concrete Mender is a premium commercial product that has the lowest viscosity and best performance in the industry that costs more to produce. At Nextstar we can attest that everyone has tried to copy this product without success and remains the only trusted product you can count on for results.

Q. Some of my repairs have bubbles coming up from the repair what do I do?
A. No worries, let the Concrete Mender cure and grind or scrape as normal. Re-apply as needed for a second layer to fill any voids. The bubbling is because the product came in contact with moisture, which is a chemical reaction. Grinding is the preferred method.

Q. Can I use 10 Minute mender outside on a sidewalk?
A. Yes, it will work very well for a structural repair but account to cover the repair with concrete color matching material such as a concrete powder coat or dabbed latex paint. Mender products will yellow over time, which does not affect strength, but the UV sunlight affects the looks.

Q. Can I use more layers of 10 Minute Concrete mender after it has cured?
A. Yes, but it must be roughed up first with a grinder, sanded. Since the product is not porous after cure, it is best to do each layer before the previous layer has cured if possible.

Q. Can I add larger aggregate when mixing in batches for large holes or cracks?
A. Yes, If you have an extensive hole or void to fill, you can also mix ¾ gravel and silica sand to increase the material volume.

Q. Can I mix 10 Minute Concrete Mender manually?
A. Yes, As long as you keep the ratio of components to a 1:1 ratio, using a small mixing cup or using a squeeze bottle to dispense is acceptable.

Q. How Much product will I need?
A. Use the NextStar product volume Estimator 10 Min Mender is listed. Click Here

Q. How long can I keep 10 Minute Mender in storage?
A. We do not recommend more than a year if opened or not; however, practical experience shows it will last two years in storage, but the packaging may fail before the product does. The Vo Low odor Mender must be used within one year of purchase.

Q. Why should I not use regular Concrete Mender in a living space?
A. Regular 10 Minute Mender, when mixed, is 98% solids but mixed incorrectly will tend to have the smell linger longer than most people would like. If space is under construction or not actively used by people, it will not be an issue.

Q. Does the temperature affect the cure time of 10 Minute Concrete Mender?
A. Yes, temperature affects the cure time for regular 10 Minute Concrete Mender, near 32f 0c, it can take up to 45 minutes to set hard enough to grind or profile. It may be necessary to pre-cool the cartridges or jugs in the summer to give you extra work time. If allowed to warm too much, it will shorten the gel time considerably.

Q. Can I reuse a static mixer tube and flow restrictor with cartridges?
A. Yes, maybe if the static mixer has completely drained or any cured material in the static mixer. The Flow restrictor can be wiped off, and the two holes in it cleaned out.

Q. What do I do if I run out or lose my mixer tube?
A. Manually dispense into a mixing cup, stir for 10 seconds and dispense directly or pour into a squeeze bottle and dispense that way.

Q. Can I Use 10 Minute Concrete Mender without the flow restrictor?
A. Yes, however, be prepared to use the whole cartridge. The flow restrictor helps with cross-contamination across the cartridge, and without using it, the A/B components may pre-mix in the cartridge before dispensing.

Q. How do I repair a broken garage floor entrance edge from tire impact damage?
A. Grind out any loose and broken concrete on the floor edge. It works well using some waxed cardboard or packing tape on cardboard to form the desired shape to control the product. Dispense Concrete Mender on the repair area, then add silica sand and more product to build up after it has cured grind with a diamond cup wheel on a hand grinder to the desired shape.
