There is a product just for that purpose. Most hardware stores carry it. You just paint it on. I do not remember the name, but I used it on our birdbath at our old home.
Latex modified concrete patch. You can use Feather Finish.
Hi Lori,
You could use a concrete sealant, or cover it with mosaic tiles and use a waterproof
grout.
Hi Lori, you can use a two-part epoxy. Mix well according to the manufacturer's instructions and apply the mixture to any cracks with the wooden stick. For a broken area, apply epoxy with the wooden stick where the broken pieces meet. Join the two pieces and hold them together, applying pressure until the bond is made. Remove any excess epoxy with a clean rag.
If the pieces are hard to hold together make a bed of crinkled paper in a box and use tape to hold pieced together on the inside then flip over. Mix small batches of epoxy to glue one piece to another if necessary.
