I finally pushed back on the 'wet cure everything' rule on a big job in Phoenix
Last week we poured a 4000 sq ft warehouse floor and the foreman, Mike, wanted to wet cure for a full 7 days like always. I argued that with the 110-degree heat and the specific mix we used, a spray-on membrane cure would be better to control the hydration rate. We did it my way and the core samples showed better early strength with zero crazing. Has anyone else had a good result breaking from the standard wet cure in extreme heat?
