Materials you will need: burlap, cardstock, ruler, X-Acto knife, computer, inkjet printer. 1  Measure out your piece of burlap to 8.5 by 11. Use the X-Acto knife to cut it. 2  Repeat with the card stock. 3  Use the masking tape to affix the burlap to the card stock. 4  Make sure your printer settings are set to Heavy Duty.
Ideally, concrete should be poured when the air temperature is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold temperatures slow the concrete-setting process, and when temperatures dip below freezing, the delay allows the water in the mix to freeze before the concrete hardens.
For most concrete structures, the curing period at temperatures above 5Âº C (40Âº F) should be a minimum of 7 days or until 70% of the specified compressive or flexural strength is attained. The period can be reduced to 3 days if high early strength concrete is used and the temperature is above 10Âº C (50Âº F).or most concrete structures, the curing period at temperatures above 5Âº C (40Âº F) should be a minimum of 7 days or until 70% of the specified compressive or flexural strength is attained.
