why are chunks missing from the top half?

you can get stuff that you mix with concrete and then pour it with other concrete and it's supposed to bong with it. I'm not sure how strong it would be on a stone though.

Shake the mold. A lot. It'll get the air bubbles out. Then keep packing concrete in for another hour or so. Sounds like that was your problem.

too late for that its out of the mold................i was thinking about putting the top half of the mold on only, putting about an inch high and duck tape it good then pour graveless cocrete on??

Stick a bike lock in there and turn it into a kettlebell.

Oh I wasn't sure if it had hardened yet.

Drill two holes and use liquid cement? I don't know much about this stuff.

Good old Bondo (stuff you use on car body repair) works good. I have used it to patch garage floors. Apply it in thin layers an let it dry well between coats.
