Concrete patch/filler product recommendations needed

[jalmbe5]

When I built my shop I intended to have 2 roll-up doors, so I formed recesses at the door locations. I actually made them sloped instead of just flat like commonly done. I ended up only installing one door, but framed and blacked in for the other. I've decided to do away with the 2nd door and re-frame that section to just be straight wall. See my attached drawing for a better idea of the situation. The only concrete product I have experience with is your standard sack concrete mix. I need a concrete or epoxy product that I can use to fill the sloped section before I re-frame the wall. If possible, I would like something that can be feathered to nothing. If absolutely necessary, I can cut/chisel away enough material to create a 1/4" to 1/2" deep lip, but I would rather not have to. Something as easy as mix, pour and maybe level off if necessary would be ideal. Is there a product that would achieve this without a great deal of effort?

Thanks

Check out Ardex. It's great stuff but not cheap: http://www.ardexamericas.com/en-us/Products/engconrep/Pages/EngineeredConcreteRepairSystems.aspx

X2 Ardex is good stuff

Depending on the situation, you might also just put the pressure treated sill plate at an angle, cut your studs to match, and then just fill in the remaining void with the concrete filler.

concrete resurfacer. Awesome stuff

I used concrete resurfacer on my garage floor before I epoxied it.

I third the concrete resurfacer. I had extra from a project and decided to put it down on the worn concrete pad next to my garage. I didn't know how it would hold up with being driven on since it was a thin film. Did it several months ago. So far has held up to my excursion driving on it, lifting my truck with a jack and supporting jack stands.

This product can be feather edged: http://www.ctscement.com/rapid-set-cement-all-2/

It runs around 20 bucks per bag, last time I bought it. You didn't list your location. Home Depot in Southern California carries it.

I have also used Rapid set mortar mix from the same company. I doesn't go to a feather edge as it has coarse sand in it, but I used it on my garage floor anyway. My floor looks like a concrete truck dumped it's left overs over and over again. I doubt it was even hit with a screed. The mortar mix worked to fill in some of the low spots. I used the cement all last time I patched part of the floor.

Cement all says it is good to 4". I would use pins and concrete glue to bond the new to the old. You might get away with the thickness since the thicker part will be towards a form. I don't know why it is only good to 4". The price might be too much as well. Maybe you could use a different material for the thick part and feather over it with the cement all to get a nice surface.

We use Speed Crete Red Line in our shop. I would square cut the shallow end to at least 1/4" deep, then, drill and set some tapcons into the repair area. Wrap wire around the head of the first tapcon and continue to the last. Form the deep end of the repair area and patch.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll try to find one of the products mentioned.
