1 ) Set aside a couple of cups of the portland cement to be used for the final finishing stages of the repair.
2 ) Cut or chisel the length of the crack creating a notch 1” wide and ―” to 1” deep. Examine the edges of the notch – they should not be smooth. Roughen up the edges if necessary so that the repair will bond firmly to the existing floor.
3 ) Wet the notched area thoroughly.
4 ) Mix the portland cement with the terrazzo chips to create a consistency which is not runny nor is it thick like dough. A consistency you can hold in your hand.
