FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONCRETE REPAIR MADE EASY WITH DAP’S NEW CONCRETE PATCH IN A SQUEEZE TUBE

Great For Post-Winter Concrete Repairs

BALTIMORE, February 10, 2006 – This spring, DAP has made repairing small cracks and breaks in concrete as easy as picking up a squeeze tube of their new, easy-to-use 5.5 oz. Concrete Patch. After the thaw, households across the nation will find many areas around the home – such as driveways, patios, basement walls, steps and walkways – in need of patching and repairing.

DAP Concrete Patch is a premium grade ready-mixed latex sealant formulated to quickly fill and seal small cracks in concrete and masonry. It forms a weather-resistant, watertight seal that helps prevent water and ice damage and it resists cracking and crumbling. It dries to a light gray color similar to new concrete and blends in with most types of masonry surfaces. DAP Concrete Patch can be used for both interior and exterior applications.

Concrete Patch is durable, non-shrinking and, because it is latex based, cleans up easily with water. It is paintable after two hours with most latex and oil-based paints and is fully cured in 7-14 days. The convenient, easy-to-use squeeze tube makes application a breeze by eliminating the need for a caulk gun and it is ideal for consumers who only need a small amount for small repairs.

DAP’s new 5.5 oz. Concrete Patch will be available at Home Centers and Hardware stores this spring and will retail for between $2.25 and $2.99. Concrete Patch is also available in 1 quart and 1 gallon sizes.
