not sure what is going on here, I have tried to reply to this message three times. Is there a minimum size that a message has to be?

Jeff, thanks for the offer, I sent an email

Terrazzo patching is difficult. From what I have been told, don’t expect the patch to match the existing.

These are precast treads with broken corners.  
The owner is not expecting miracles, just wants the corners fixed.

I am not sure about patching specifications, but a good resource is the NTMA:

[http://ntma.com](http://ntma.com)

The tab for specifications leads you to links to excellent Word documents prepared by Peter Jordan for NTMA. While they are written for new terrazzo, some of the language may be useful for your patching specifications.
