Already mixed in sealer?

[Lewisthepilgrim]

Hey guys hows it goin?? I am getting ready for a floor pour this week. They are gonna add the accelerator to the mix. The garage is heated, so I'm not worried about the temp inside the garage, BUT I have a small slab I'm pouring outside next to the garage as well. Have any of you guys experienced pouring slabs in COLD weather??

weather for thursday is a high of 43 and a low overnight of 25. With the accelerator Should we be OK??? Do I need to get a blanket? lol


Also, I heard there is a sealer they add @ the plant. Is this already mixed sealer any good? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just some protection from oil spills on my floor

You probably want to lay down some burlap or straw with plastic over it at the least. They rent electric blankets for cold weather curing, someone who knows better than I can chime in, but I don't think the slab will ever reach rated strength curing between 30-40 degrees.

Thanks guys. Pour went AWESOME. I just used some old blankets for the slab outside. The inside slab was heated pretty well but still took a solid 12 hours to set up ! Overall I'm quite happy with it. We now have 300% more places to park/store and work on cars
