You could add lime putty. But the best solution would be to get a cement that sets in the amount of time you need, a 'slow setting cement'.

How do you make concrete mix?
Concrete mix is made from (sharp)sand, cement, aggregate and water. The ratios depent on the usage
How is concrete and mortar made?
Concrete :- a mix of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Mortar :- a mix of cement, sand, and water
Why is strength of concrete so important in construction?
The strength of concrete depends on the mix used to make it- ratio of cement, sand, gravel and water. If the mix does not produce a concrete that is strong enough, the concrete will break.
What is the percentage of admixture in concrete?
That depends on exactly what use that particular concrete mix is for.
Concrete mixing proportion for M 40 concrete?
The mix proportion for M40 concrete is 1:1.65:2.92W/C ratio = 0.4The design calculation is as per IS mix design
What are the causes of concrete floor cracks?
Underlying soils movemnent. Adding to much water to concrete mix and getting shrinkage cracks. Not curing the concrete with water and it dries to fast.
What is mean by m20 of grade concrete?
it is concrete mix which gain strength 20kn/mm2 in 28 day of curing....
What is concrete's setting time?
Dependant on if you have additives with the concrete and how much water is in the mix. In general concrete will achieve 80 - 90 percent strength within in 24 hours
What is sulfur concrete?
Sulphur-concrete is obtained by adding sulphur to a concrete mix instead of portland cementand is claimed to be corrosion resistant, of high strength, and with fast-curing time.SULPHUR is the English spelling whereas SULFUR is the American spelling.I have also seen it spelled as SULFERFor a more technical explanation see "What is Sulphur Concrete?"
What is the difference between additives and admixtures?
Additives are added to Cement during manufacturing to get new property for cement whilst admixtures are added to mix during mixing to get new property to the fresh concrete.
What can be added to strengthen i.s.s.bricks?
To strengthen ISS bricks, additional reinforcing materials such as fibers or polymer additives can be added to the concrete mix. Increasing the density or adding more cement can also improve the strength of the bricks. Additionally, proper curing techniques and quality control during the production process can help enhance the overall strength and durability of the bricks.

What is the process of concrete harding called after the initial setting process is over?
The process that occurs after initial set is commonly referred to as Curing! What actually happens is "Hydration" , which is the reaction that takes place within the concrete matrix between the chemicals and the water in the mix. Very important that mix water be retained inside for complete hydration to take place. Of late, engineers an design professionals are placing much more emphasis on "Internal Curing" than ever before!
What is the difference between leAn concrete and ready mix concrete?
Lean mix concrete is used for substructures like foundations,piles,etc.,Ready mix concrete is used for superstructures and also for mass construction.Generally, quality of ready mix concrete is good when compared to the lean mix concrete.Workability of lean mix concrete is high when compared to RMC.
How long does it take concrete to dry?
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.
How do you concrete mix?
