Crack Resistant
Concrete Mix
Menards Sku# 189-1026
Crack Resistant Concrete Mix can be used for any
application requiring concrete in a minimum thickness of
2" (51 mm):
• Floors
• Footings
• Patios
• Sidewalks
• Steps
• Curbs
Product Description
Stake out the planned area and remove sod or soil to the
desired depth. Nail and stake forms securely in place.
Tamp and compact the sub-base until rm.
Crack Resistant Concrete Mix is for any application
requiring concrete in a minimum thickness of 2". Crack
Resistant Concrete Mix consists of a pre-blended,
proportioned mixture of gravel, sand, Portland Cement,
air entraining admixture, alkali-resistant reinforcing
bers and other approved materials.
Product Use
Machine Mixing Instructions
Installation
Preparatory Work
• Empty concrete bags into a suitable mixing container.
• Add approximately 4 pints (1.9 L) of clean water for
each 60 lb (27.2 kg) bag.
• Work the mix with a shovel, rake or hoe and add
water as needed until a stiff, moldable consistency is
achieved.
• Be sure all material is wet. Do not leave standing
puddles.
Hand Mixing Instructions
Weight-Unit: 60 lb (27.2kg)
Pallet Quantity: 48/Pallet
Yield: 0.45 cu ft (12.7L)
Walk on Time: 3 Hours
Bagging Specications
Pre-Blended Commercial Grade
Important: Contact Digger’s Hotline before starting
any projects that involve digging.
• Choose the mixer size most appropriate for the size of
the job to be done.
• Add approximately 4 pints (1.9 L) of clean water for
each 60 lb (27.2 kg) bag and mix thoroughly.
Pro-Tip: For additional strength, replace water with an
Acrylic Bonding Additive
Pro-Tip: When mixing dry packaged cements always
add powdered mixtures to water for best results.
• If more water is needed to obtain a rm, workable
mix, add small amounts at a time and continue to mix
until desired consistency is achieved. Do not exceed a
total volume of 7 pints (3.3 L) of water for each 60 lb
(27.2 kg) bag.
Pro-Tip: Add 3 oz of Liquid Air Entrainment to each
60 lb bag of concrete mix to improve workability, freeze
thaw resistance, and improve resistance to scaling.
