Talked to a concrete finisher last week and it changed my whole approach

I was on a job site in Raleigh and this older guy who's been pouring for 40 years told me to stop rushing the cure time. He said he waits 10 full days before even thinking about sealing. Now I'm backing off on my scheduling and the last slab looked way better. Has anyone else slowed down and seen better results?

@the_jana hit the nail on the head with that, rushing never pays off lol. I remember a buddy of mine tried to seal a driveway after 5 days and it was a disaster, ended up having to tear it all out and start over.

Totally agree. I was rushing everything and then got humbled by a bad slab and now I'm way more patient with the curing process.
