What is the difference between naturally and artificially alkaline water? When measured in drinking water, an alkaline pH can be a result of either natural or unnatural conditions in the water. Thus when comparing two waters, each with a pH of 9.5, one can be healthful while the other causes side effects. Water ionizers split apart water molecules with electricity to artificially create alkaline water.
Re: Painting Fresh Concrete Surfaces. We have to paint below ground concrete surfaces with Epoxy PAINT or Bituminous paint. The engineers says we can paint only after 30 days. What is the actual time gap required to paint on new concrete surfaces.
Tons of great stuff they sent me. Some good points: In a dry basement wait 2-3 weeks before installing drywall over (they want you to use PT for everything in the basement and they make good points). outside you should wait 2-3 weeks before painting or staining in moderate temps with no to little rain.This is a little tricky because you want to install PT lumber right away since it will warp quick. You can't let it dry out before installing unless you can apply a serious amount of pressure on all sides of the wood. one month minimum dry time is recommended. That said, I'd wait as long as the painting season permits. If you have three months before it will get cold down there, then wait until then. It's important to have three good, consecutive dry days before applying the stain when ultimately decide to do it.
