| I live in NE Ohio and I patched three baseball size areas on my patio where
the winter had "spaulded" the concrete. The concrete patch matches the
original concrete pretty well except when it rains, then the patched areas
do not turn dark like the rest of the patio cement which turns dark with
when water hits it, so in effect the patched areas look bright white! Is
there any way to fix/cover these patched areas? Thanks!

There's probably an acrylic additive in the patch which helps with adhesion
but limits the water absorption when it rains. Count your blessings that you
actually have few enough problems that this concerns you.

| I see the same results when I use a TireWet (or any other product that
make tires shine).
I have four white spots in the driveway while the rest is dark tan wet
cement color.
maybe you can seal the entire driveway with Thompsons (or simular
product)... (may want to perform a test section first.)

Please, not Thompsons. What a poor product.

| I agree, Thompsons is of no use to me at all. I use Flood UV for my patio
wood. Thanks anyway guys 'n gals.

Geezzzzzzzz, I wish all I had to worry about in life was the color the
sidewalk turns after a rain....... With all the real problems in this
world, like poverty, war, unemployment, disease, political corruption,
crime, gas prices, and a million other things, and you are worrying
about this nonsense. You need to get out more, need some friends, and
need a life !!!
Till then, paint the frikkin sidewalk if it will improve your marriage
and your sex drive.

| Actually, you seem to be a bit frustrated. Feeling a tad insecure are you?
Let me guess, your are under employed and life is not treating you well. As
an attorney, I meet losers like you on a weekly basis. Try being pleasant
on occasion---it will improve your life and attitude.

Try bottom posting and editing once in awhile, Einstein. It'll improve
the way a thread is read. Not that this thread deserves to be read...
