What happens here

Once the primer has been applied and cured for 5 hours, visually inspect the floor for any divots or pinholes that may have become visible after the primer coat. These imperfections can be easily patched using a two-component concrete patch product, such as Rust-Oleum Fast Patch. Mix the two components (Part A and Part B) of the patch on a piece of cardboard using a small scraping tool or stir stick, similar to mixing spackling paste. Apply the mixed patch directly into the divots, working it in with the scraping tool until the surface is smooth and level with the surrounding primed area. This product can be applied 'wet-on-wet', meaning you don't need to wait for it to dry before applying the broadcast coat.

Goal: Correct visible imperfections in the primed floor for a smoother finish.

What they say

Hide

in so one thing a concrete primer does is it identif imperfections in the concrete that we don't necessarily see before there's a pigment coat on there so as you can see right there we have a divot we'll have a product that we can patch with tomorrow before we put down the broadcast coat goes on similar to like a spackling and you can put your broadcast coat directly over that wet on wet so we don't need to let anything dry
