Concrete Poured and Cured Although it only took a few days for installation, 30 days must go by before the surface is ready to stain. Is your concrete dry? How to Test for Moisture: The test involves using a 18"x18" polyethylene sheet approximately 4 mils thick. Tape the sheet tightly to the concrete and leave in place for 16 hours. If there is no moisture accumulated on the underside of the sheet the concrete is dry enough for most coating applications. If needed, retest periodically until the sheet is free of moisture. |
