Here, curing compound is being applied to silica-fume concrete in a parking
structure shortly after brooming. In many cases, the use of curing compound
is the preliminary curing method; it is intended to protect the concrete
until it gains enough strength to allow placing wet curing materials on the
deck without marring the surface. On this particular project, wet burlap
and plastic sheeting were used for the final curing.
