Directions

After concrete is placed, (between 50ºF and 75ºF) adequate curing is vital. Freshly mixed concrete contains more water than required for complete hydration of the cement. Good curing of the cement means that evaporation should be prevented or reduced. Sprinkle surface with water fog or cover surface with moisture-retaining fabrics such as burlap or cotton mats or even plastic spraying compound. The longer the concrete is kept moist, the stronger and more durable it will become.

Safety

Avoid direct contact with dry or wet Portland. Can cause irritation and severe burns to eyes and skin. Repeated inhalation can cause lung disease. Wear tight-fitting goggles, dust masks, protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. In case of eye contact, flush with water and seek immediate medical attention.
DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
DO NOT INHALE.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN and PETS.
