If you are doing something like fence post, figure around 24hrs to be able to work with it.
If its something like a flat surface (walkway etc..) figure 2 days before you can walk on it.
Concrete gets progressively harder over time its called curing. However it depends on several thing like temperature and moisture. You can typically walk on concrete the next day but it can be prone to scratching. I generally have my customers wait two days to walk on it and 7-10 days to drive. In summer time on hot days concrete can cure to fast and crack within hours. We use sealer and special curing compounds to retain the moisture in the concrete. We can also use retardant in the mix and cover the concrete with white plastic if it gets to hot. In cold weather in temperatures below freezing the water in the concrete mix can freeze and the mix won't be able to bind together. So we add accelerants and cover the concrete with insulation blankets to keep it from freezing. Submitted by B&B Concrete Vancouver, Wa.
Not very long it takes about 3 or 4 hours 2 dry but wont be fully done until the next 24 hours or so
how long does it take for bituman to dry outside
A plain concrete with a large ratio aggregate to cement than structural concrete. It is used for filling and not structural duties
It takes at least 10-25 minutes to be dry on the surface but at least an hour for it to be fully dry
No. Concrete never gets any bigger than the day it is poured.
ROUGHLY!, about 150lbs. per cu. ft.
is a scinentific method
how long does it take for bituman to dry outside
Imediatly after trowling
the concrete will dry lighter.
dry concrete
I do believe it would depend on the relative humidity and ambient temperature as concrete takes over 100 years to cure properly
NO. -Concrete may be a 'dry' wall, however it is NOT Drywall.
This may be possible if you prep the dry concrete with a latex bonding agent.
dry concrete
Concrete does not dry, it cures.
how long does roof cement to dry
no
