If dealing with holes in concrete floors is a task you’ve had to take on, you understand how tedious it can be. Thankfully, this article will help make the process faster and simpler. All that’s needed are the right supplies and the willingness to work slowly and precisely. Soon, you’ll have that concrete patch up and looking good as new!
You’ll want to equip yourself with a putty knife, a hammer and some concrete filler before you dive into your task. Thankfully, concrete filler comes in small tubes so you can easily purchase it from a nearby hardware store.
After gathering your necessary supplies, it’s time to spruce up the nail hole. Utilize the putty knife to get rid of any debris or dirt that is loose. If the dent is really deep, you can bring in the heavy tools – use a hammer to tap the putty knife into the hole.
After giving the hole a thorough cleaning, it’s now time to fill it up with the concrete filler. Take a pinch of filler and push it into the hole, then use the putty knife to carefully spread it. The goal is to have the hole completely filled, but be cautious of not going overboard on the quantity.
Once the gap is filled and molded, the putty knife can be used to get a seamless finish. If it’s too thick, just add a splash of water to loosen the consistency. When done admirably, use a moist cloth to trivialize any unnecessary filler.
Congratulations – your task of plugging the nail hole in your concrete floor is done!
