[QUOTE="gifs, post: 99119, member: 480"] For structural concrete to reach its intended strength it normally needs to cure for 28 days which means you need to keep it wet. For a house's floor the strength is probably not very important but I would still cure it for at least 7 days. Most cements reach 50% of their strength after 7 days of curing. From Fulton's concrete technology: [url=https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B4MPMMJ-dlc3ZWM4ZjdlZTktNWFkYS00MzFlLTliM2ItZjdiNDllNTA1OWI0&hl=en&authkey=CNXuxwg]https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B4MPMMJ-dlc3ZWM4ZjdlZTktNWFkYS00MzFlLTliM2ItZjdiNDllNTA1OWI0&hl=en&authkey=CNXuxwg[/url] [/QUOTE]
