NOTE: Keep in mind deductibles do not apply to liability auto insurance coverage, as that pays for damages incurred by another driver when you cause an accident. Rather, it would apply to coverage types that pay your damages, such as collision or comprehensive coverage.
Re: Poured side walk/steps, how long to leave forms? I strip the forms 24 hours later, but am careful not to damage the new concrete. It will still be very soft and with crumble if you put too much force on the edges. Usually concrete will harden withing 30 days to the point where it is considered cured.
Steps. 1. Leave the form work used to create the concrete formation. The form work itself, if left in place, or on the underneath of a suspended slab, or around a concrete column will stop the concrete drying out too quickly, and so can be said to be a curing agent.sed the water soluble waxy emulsions that can be sprayed onto the fresh concrete with a hand pump type spray. They are milky white when used but dry into a clear waxy film. They have the advantage that that they can be sprayed onto footpaths and the like even before the concrete is set enough to walk upon.
