    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">it might be worth contacting the

      which curing times you are looking for / looking at. Might also be
      worth checking hydraulic properties of the concrete used to

        </div>
        <div>We are currently building a new museum site and much of the
          construction will be concrete, including exposed concrete
          walls and floors in galleries. I am looking for guidelines
          regarding the true curing time of concrete, and how long we
          should wait before installing the exhibitions. I have
          guidelines for paint and plaster but none for concrete if used
          as an interior finish.</div>
        <div><br>

        <div>As always your guidance and advice is greatly appreciated. <br>
