Re: Did you wet cure your slab? 38Dec 10, 2014 10:31 pm Hello, this is very interesting. I intend to pond my slab and want to know roughly how big the "dam" should be that one creates around the end of the slab to pond the water. Are we talking a little (less than 5cm) type bund, or higher? Please to see from comments above that it can be ponded pretty much after the helicopter is done I'm not keen on using plastic due to securing it from the afternoon winds, and also excess waste.

Se 25-50 mm of water cover as your slab is unlikely to be perfectly flat and some tolerance is allowed. Another advantage of ponding is that as you flood the slab it will show up low and then high spots. This will be important as you need to know how much levelling compound you need to use before laying porcelain tiles or similar and also if there are high spots that need to be ground off. If you are just carpeting you may not have to be doing any additional levelling.

Then you as OB got to take care of the curing. Hi there, My pad was poured on Sat morn and I was told to pond it in the afternoon. Im in WA so the water doesn't hang around long with the Freo Doctor rolling in. I went back and hosed it sat night and Sunday morning. It seems to have developed this blotchy appearance over night in dark grey/black. Is that perhaps because the guys had an accelerator added to the concrete mix and its leaching to surface, or it's just uneven curing? Just wondering if its likely to be on surface or all the way through as was thinking we might have a go at retrospective polished concrete in a couple of rooms...on the plus side it seems pretty level with only a couple of little high points which will be under beds so who cares Looks like this All sorted guys. Just needed to buy a blade with the correct bush. Dunno how to delete this post, can't find any help file. Cheers. 1 3752 Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
