1. 2:22–2:46 Broom Finish and Cure From Concrete Step Repair, Step 4: Smooth and Finish the Surface

   Once the concrete patcher has been troweled smooth and begins to dry slightly (you will no longer see a water sheen on the surface), it's time to apply a broom finish. Use a broom, or for smaller projects, a dry paintbrush, to gently brush the surface of the patch. This creates a textured finish that helps the repair blend in with the existing concrete. After achieving the desired finish, allow the patch to set and cure for at least 24 hours before subjecting it to any foot traffic or heavy use. Always have a plan for curing, which might involve covering the patch or keeping it damp, depending on environmental conditions and product specifications, to ensure maximum strength and durability.
