Hey all, anybody ever use a product called UltraCure NCF, its a one time use curing blanket. Anyone know where to buy it in the central MD or PA regions. The write-ups look good, better than dealing with spraying curing compounds.

We've used many curing membranes but I don't recall if we've used this particular brand. They are all very similar and work well though they are bit pricey.

Some single use products tend to break up and can be a pain to remove.

If you have the time to monitor the curing operation, polyethylene sheeting can provide the same function for a lot less money. The only downfall to poly is that if areas under the wrinkles dry out you can get variations in color. To avoid this, just keep the concrete wet.

I'd avoid curing compound. Even the dissipating products leave a film that can discolor and flake

4 mil poly will do the same thing. Cut it a bit oversized and weigh it down so it won't blow away and try to keep it on for week if you can.
