Planning to install some garden lighting this weekend. The house is skirted by a concrete pathway so we're planning on chiselling out a channel in the concrete for the flex. So I'm wondering, when the cable is laid, what can I use to fill the channel again. I don't think it's going to be a big channel. Maybe a centimetre wide by a centimetre or two deep. Is [broken link removed]. Doesn't say if it's suitable for out door use.

And what the hell is a "cementitious screed"? I think I had one a couple of weeks ago after some dodgy black pudding.

Depends on the depth, width, etc of the channel.

It would probably take a lot of the ready-made version you've suggested to fill even a moderate gap. You might be better off with the more cost effective powder version http://www.woodiesdiy.com/woodies/product.asp?dept%5Fid=10286&pf%5Fid=P%5F513173&shop=woodies&mscssid=6SKW7RLSMV4L8G2B8HEBTTG8USUG1QR4 (www.woodiesdiy.com/woodie...G8USUG1QR4)
 
concrete filler

There is a ready mixed(sand and cement) mortar available.Prepare it thinly, with a good quantity of water,more than with mortar.Fill it in and compact it a bit with a suitable instrument like spatula.It would work out much cheaper than the polyfiller products and it would match the colour better.
