Bondo For Garage Stem Wall Repair?

[Ron_CA]

I am planning on epoxy for the garage floor on a small 2 car garage but have an area on my stem wall that has deteriorated in the last 35 years.

Doesn't seem to be a water issue at least at this point ( I have owned the property 2 1/2 years).

Can I bondo this?

No.. Bondo does not like moisture and concrete I'll always have some degree of moisture moving in it

You need an epoxy. Look for a concrete patch epoxy

Thanks, Just checking to see if others have had success after seeing it on Bondo's website.

Any suggestions on a product? I was hoping to find something that spreads really nice so I can do my best to make it purty.

Quikrete makes a concrete patching material that I've had good results with. Got it at Lowes. Comes in a small plastic tub.

Concrete patch may be it then.

What do the professionals use when they have to repair stem walls?

Surfacing epoxy. I've had excellent results with Tnemec 215 surfacing epoxy. Spreads like butter.

Where do you buy surfacing epoxy? Thanks

That looks like great stuff.

I'd like to fix bad spots on my covered porch before I repaint or epoxy. Also interested in where to buy and how much this costs.

EDIT: Did find this flooring company that has it on their website.

Bondo makes a different product that's made for patching concrete and similar uses. I tried it last year and it worked very well - it had a gray color and didn't absorb water. I bought it at Home Depot - ymmv.
