They put sealers on soft concrete now? I just had a pour done and the contractor said he would be back in a month to seal it.
It got into the 20s the night of the pour and he was concerned. Curing concrete is an exothermic process, and we put straw over it to help keep the heat in. I used an infrared thermometer which read surface temps in the 30s when it was 24 degrees out.
