THE CURING PROCESS

1. Allow a 24-hour drying period after the treatment. Protect from rain during this period.

 

2. Protect the treatment from heavy traffic and direct pressurized water hosing for 5 days.

 

3. Twenty four (24) hours after completing the application, initiate the curing process by: saturating the area with at least a ½ inch of water for a minimum of 5 days or until cured.  If saturation is not possible, soak the area 2-3 times daily for a period of at least 1 week or allow rainwater to cure the concrete over a longer duration.

 

4. Cisterns and Tanks (all closed structures): may require a longer drying period (48-72 hours).  Once dried, hose-down the treated area with clean water.  Simultaneously hose-down and lightly scrub the walls with a nylon bristle broom to remove any dust particles.  Rinse thoroughly and proceed to fill the structure with potable water.
