New concrete should typically be kept dry for at least the first 24 to 48 hours after pouring to allow for proper curing. However, it's essential to maintain moisture for a longer period—ideally, up to 7 days—for optimal strength development. During this time, you can cover the concrete with wet burlap, plastic sheeting, or use curing compounds to prevent premature drying. Proper curing is crucial for achieving the desired durability and performance of the concrete.

How long after pouring concrete can it get wet?
Concrete should ideally be kept dry for at least the first 24 to 48 hours after pouring to ensure proper curing and strength development. However, it can begin to withstand light moisture exposure after about 12 hours, depending on environmental conditions. For optimal results, it’s best to wait a week before subjecting it to significant water exposure. Always consult specific guidelines for the type of concrete mix used.

This may be possible if you prep the dry concrete with a latex bonding agent.
How long after pouring concrete do you apply sealer?
Depending on what kind of sealer you use, the concrete should be completely dry and firm enough to walk on. However, I know of at least one concrete sealer (Concrete Treat) that can be applied immediately after the concrete has been placed -- with no wait at all for curing.
