    I need to build up a bit of a slope along a wall on a cement pad to keep water away. Anybody have any recommendations for a good product to use? Probably only needs to be 1/4" to 3/8" thick and slope down/out about 4" from the wall.

    I get a strange surge occasionally under boost and a pretty steady surge on the jakes too. Acts like the actuator releases and the vanes close up for a split second. Going to do an actuator relearn before jumping off the deep end with a turbo swap.


    It's all online now as far as submitting documentation. Got the email yesterday. Gotta start gathering things today. Insurance lady also helped me with my dot and whatnot quit 2 weeks ago so I've got to try to get that info figured out to be able to take care of my ifta and irp, etc and get into my dot account to submit the stuff

    Mom is done with her pokes, prods, X-rays and scans. We (all) went in to meet her new doctor (s). He asked the usual questions, then asked about military service and she said she was in Desert Storm. "What did you do there?" He asked. She answered him with her primary MOS and secondary MOS. Both doctors got wide eyed and stared at each other.
    Further questions were asked in detail and a complete history was taken. They explained they would work with the Mayo Clinic and that she had a team she could count on now.

    She got back to the elevator before she snarked, Oh good, a team. While rolling her eyes.

    That woman was getting on the elevator with the team she can count on. I hope those other people can help though.

    Maybe grout a fillet into the bottom of the wall and slap some of that membrane they seal foundations with on it. Don’t know what it would look like but it should keep water out.

    Agree with jamespmack and kranky1, but depending on the actual problem you're trying to solve, these two products available from Home Depot, Lowes, etc, may be able to accomplish what you want, or use in addition to any concrete or asphalt product you may want to use to build an angle.

    If you just need to seal water out from getting into the joint between a wall and the edge of the concrete, these two products will accomplish that, and can be used in conjunction with the concrete/asphalt build up:

    Fill the crack with this first to take up any space, or use sand that will fill the hole up to the needed depth, and then use this:

    to seal it up to keep out water, bugs...etc. You'll need a propane torch or other heat source to melt the tar.

    If need be you can then make your angle with concrete/asphalt product of your choice...and even use this again, to seal any build up angle you create.
