Not sure why so much discussion. The stuff to use is called concrete glue. Its purpose in life is to add a bit of bonding strength between old concrete and fresh pour. I've used a brand called Pakmix, IIRC. mahalo, jo4hn
It seems that some of the know-it-all types who really don't know much have to act like idiots when you don't take their advice. My question was simple enough. Would throwing in some old Titebond help or hurt. I already knew from experience that plain old white glue is a pretty good bonding agent but I wasn't sure about TiteBond. Well the job is done and I got rid of some 18 month old TiteBond at the same time. Checked this morning and the bond is still holding. Now to build the bear proof unit for the garbage cans.
I would like to thank all the guys who actually responded to my question.

And oddly enough, some of us who have seen how you respond to people who spent time trying to give you advice, won't bother to spend any time answering you in the future. Just because you don't like the answer, doesn't mean you have to call them idiots - keep it up and you'll find yourself talking, but nobody listening.
Any bonding , glue, welding, concrete, paint, is only as good as the surface prep. Hacks- Know it alls are always making these mistakes.
Bonder on a dirty surface, dumb. But Its your house. Dont ask questions if you dont want the truth.
Surface was pressure washed to be as clean as a whistle. I haven't found anyone who agrees with you. Including a guy down at the cement plant at Rona I talked to today.
I suspect this is the reason you are posting to a news group in the middle of a work day instead of being out there pouring concrete. Hell you can't even afford a computer. So piss off gas bag.
Pressure washing does little if you started to learn a little ,it wont remove Mold or embedded dirt. Go read a can of floor paint someday or Yinyl cement repair, You will see acid wash mentioned . Learn the way pros restore buildings, Acid washes. Go visit Detrict Chemicals the biggest chemical suplier for stone and concrete restoration.
Agree with me HAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAA, do you see anyoe here saying im wrong ! So you and your Hack " Pros " just dont know a great job from a good one.
Its also suspicous you just mention powerwashing as a entry, Id say its something you are doing now. Bottom line you are a hack
I'm a homeowner with a perfectly good slab suitable for my needs.
An unlike you, who probably pays his WebTV subscription out of his wife's welfare check, I actually own a pressure washer. There was no mold, no dirt, just pristine rock and concrete.
But I'm done with you now little child. I have work to do.
Thats a good boy now go hack it up
obviously you may have problems with the second pour
what can you do to minimize problems (cracking, shifting, etc.)?
yet you want to use the materials you have on hand, so all you can do is pour the new slab on the old one
if you want to get more materials,
quickrete bonding adhesive is a glue-like substance which may be the source of what you heard,,,don't use your glue, use the quickrete bonding adhesive (milky white in a plastic gallon container), see it here:
also if you can drill into the existing slab and tie some rebar into it and the new pour, that might help adhesion of the new slab to the old slab
using a cement with polymers in it (like quickrete concrete resurfacer, see it at
Criticism aside, you received your answer in almost every response. They may not have been phrased exactly the way you would have liked them, but it should have been obvious to you that the answer was "no". They weren't critical or attacking replies, so why are you bent out of shape?
I like his second post where he says it doesnt have to adhere because its Rebar. But wants bonder and Now says he powerwashed it.
Bay Area Dave?
My favorite part was when he came back with the info from the concrete guy who's been pouring concrete since he was 12 (no chance he's wrong) saying that, surprise, the way Wayne wanted to do it was 100% right and everyone else was wrong. I'm like "shit, Wayne...if you could get on the horn with the concrete guy, why are you wasting our time?".

Another mental midget who can't read. Try reading the question I ask you power tripping shit for brains.
Here it is:
I'm ready to use a few bags of ready mix to top a small section of sidewalk 2 inches thick. I've heard that a little white glue will help it stick. I have some TiteBond II reaching the end of it's shelf life can I use this? Or is it a waste of time.
What part of the USE Titebond yes or no did you fail to understand?
Naaah, I don't think so. The ISP, the news server, and the news client are all different from BAD's.
But I *am* beginning to suspect that Wayne is a recon troll....
