We removed the previous owners dog entry fence leading into the garage man door/dog door (it was a maze). The fence had been installed with tapcons into the path way concrete. I now need to fill the old holes before el'nino arrives (12 holes in total). What should I fill them with ?

i'd probably use a grey tile thinset. color should be close and is a fine materiel to flow in easy. fill in the hole and use damp sponge to lightly brush surface clean.

You can get sika flex at HD, great stuff for filling joints, cracks and holes. Also it comes in several colors

If your going to use another epoxy, that is great. Just talk to the manufacturer about how much silica sand to mix in. If your not going to coat the floor some of the other suggestions are fine, but at some point you will end up redoing them.

I'm not a fan of the thinset product for this application. If I was going to do a quick and easy I'd go Sikaflex. NOT perfect for this at all but of the quick and easy options, it will do

Thanks for the input. I want it to look somewhat presentable since I walk by the holes everyday and I want to keep the water out, since they are drilled all the way thru to the base material. I'll check out the above mentioned products.

you can save some material by stuffing backing rod or dry clean sand in the cracks,holes etc before putting patch in.In your case it wont amount to much tho.
