My uncle swore by using a garden hose sprayer for curing in Phoenix heat, and I finally tried it
He told me for years to mist the slab every two hours with a fine spray nozzle instead of just laying down plastic, especially in that 110-degree Arizona sun. I thought it was overkill until a big driveway job last month where the edges started to craze on me. Switched to his method halfway through and the rest of the finish held up perfect. What's your go-to cure for a brutal dry heat pour?

Ha, my go-to is just praying a lot...

Yeah, I get that. Sometimes it feels like that's all you can do when things are out of your hands. I've spent a lot of nights just saying the same things over and over, hoping it sticks.

That "hoping it sticks" part is exactly it, @kai_park. It's like you're trying to wear a groove in your own brain with the same thought, just to make it feel real. I've done that, repeating stuff like "it'll be okay" even when I don't believe it yet, just to force some calm.
