Concrete Trowel
June 12th, 2005
Smoothing a poured concrete foundation?
I live in New England, and have a good poured concrete foundation. The inside wall is quite rough, showing lots of high spots and divots. I can easily remove the high spots, but wonder how to fill and smooth the result. Can I just buy some pre-mix and trowel it on? That would be great, if so. Not looking for a real finished look, just reasonably smooth. Not at finished basement.
If you can reasonably knock down the high spots, I see nothing wrong with your reasoning. However, I would dampen the wall before troweling on the new, and would put an admix in the concrete to increase bonding strength.
