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.
As a general rule of thumb an increase of 20 degrees Fahrenheit will reduce the setting time of a concrete mixture by as much as 50 percent. As an example, a concrete mixture that reaches final set in three hours at 60 degrees Fahrenheit may reach final set in as little 1Â½ hours at 80 degrees Fahrenheit.As the concrete temperature increases the setting time is further reduced.s an example, a concrete mixture that reaches final set in three hours at 60 degrees Fahrenheit may reach final set in as little 1Â½ hours at 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
