Use water curing (mist, not spray) or approved curing compounds (applied before drying/cracking begins, repaired if damaged within 72 hours). Forms-in-place curing requires 7 days minimum (5 days for members >20" thick), removed no later than 3 weeks. Water must be fresh, non-salty, and within 30°F of peak concrete temperature [1,3,5].
