HI Guys, I'm installing drywall in garage to make it a nice clean space and theres is an ugly rough footing/foundation edge between the floor and the future drywall. that I wanted to repair/finish.make it look better .- i guess less rough, like a mini curb... ( the bottom of drywall will be at the level of the existing plywood in pic)
So what can I do? one idea was to make a square CURB LIKE mold with piece of wood ( see pic with hand ) and pour concrete? I see a problem with this though - the floor is not level so I wouldn't get a level pour up to the top edge of the bottom 2x4 footer, and my mold would probably leak. :0
another idea - can I somehow mix up concrete to a paste like consistency and manually spread it on with a putty knife and smooth it out that way? if so, what would be the steps? Prepping surface etc...
Also, I went to Lowes and saw FastSet ALLCRETE - seems to be a general purpose concrete - will that work??
PS Im assuming any demo / shaving off of this ugly edge is a no go since its foundation?
appreciate any advice in advance
