plastic sheeting or by keeping the surface wet with a lawn sprinkler.
Curing should be started as soon as possible and should continue for
a period of 5 days in warm weather at 70
o
F (21
o
C) or higher or 7 days
in colder weather at 50-70
o
F (10-21
o
C). Water curing with lawn
sprinklers, nozzles or soaking hoses must be continuous to prevent
interruption of the curing process. If plastic sheets are used they
must be laid flat, thoroughly sealed at joints and anchored carefully
along edges.
PRECAUTIONS
• Curing compounds should not be applied if rain or temperatures
below 50
o
F (10
o
C) are expected within 24 hours. Curing with plastic
or burlap can cause patchy discoloration in colored concrete. For
colored concrete, wet curing or the use of QUIKRETE
®
Acrylic Cure &
Seal – Satin Finish (#8730) is recommended
• Do not use curing compounds during late fall on surfaces where
deicers will be used to melt ice and snow. Using curing compounds at
that time may prevent proper air drying of the concrete, which is
necessary to enhance its resistance to damage caused by deicers.
• Protect concrete from freezing during the first 48 hours. Plastic
sheeting and insulation blankets should be used if temperatures are
expected to fall below 32
o
F (0
o
C).
