I noticed the other day that a piece of stucco about 4" x 3" has chipped away from the bottom of my house . It was on top of solid concrete so it is purely cosmetic. The piece is still laying on the ground. There are various compounds at Home Depot that could provide a fix. As it is on the front of the house I would want it to look good. I wonder if the fallen piece could be stuck back on, then covered with a thin layer of the compound to hold it in place. . I'm not sure whether it's a do it yourself project or should I suck it up and call a professional? . |

If it were me I would stick it back in place with a good epoxy. If it actually matches it should be an almost invisible repair. |

Thank you Fuzzy and Dialtone. I didn't even think of the obvious. I'm sure I can find that product in one of the hardware stores. That's a relief. |

I would go with the epoxy...it will last til the second coming. (Don't cover over your patched piece with anything though, you'll never get a color match. |
