How to check readiness
Check the slowest, coolest section before loading or coating. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Can be opened to traffic in one hour. Reserve full cure for demanding use, chemicals, washing, immersion or load—not merely gentle handling.
Avoid this mistake
Early strength, coating readiness and full cure are separate decisions.
