Repairing cement broken during window install
Hi,
As some of you may know (thanks for the help by the way), I recently installed a bigger window in my basement. I had to cut a part of the foundation out with a quick-cut, and that went really well, except that there was still a "chunk" on one of the top corners of my opening that I couldnt get to with the saw. I essentially attempted to hammer it out, and I'm sure some of you more experienced guys already know what happened next: I pretty muched punched out a way bigger chunk than I wanted to.
In hindsight, that was a stupid thing to do, I know. Now that we all agree on that, I need to fix my mistake, and I have no idea how to proceed.
Would someone kindly look at the picture and help me with tips on how to approach this?
Thanks alot!
Nic

OK thanks guys.
My uncle was telling me about adding glue to cement (or something along those lines) but I guess quickcrete or something similar would make sense. I'll go see my local concrete people and see what they suggest. I just didn't want to ask the kids at home depot, because that has been very hit or miss in my experience.

i'd pick cts over quikcrete every time - avail at the same place - just follow directions
yes, its more $$$ but well worth it IF you do the work for a living as do we OR you want it to last
what you uncle might've meant was a liquid bonding agent
