I always used wet cure blankets. Not anymore.
Tried that spray-on curing compound on a job in Phoenix last July. Temperature hit 112 that afternoon. Figured I'd get cracking for sure. But it held up fine. No surface checking at all. I grabbed a case of DayGlo for the next project. Anyone else had good luck with that stuff?

and another thing nobody talks about with spray-on cure is how it handles rebar congestion. I've seen wet cure blankets leave soft spots where they weren't tucked tight against the forms, especially around complex rebar cages. The spray gets into every nook and cranny, no gaps. Also, the water usage difference is huge. In Phoenix like you mentioned, you'd be running hoses nonstop for days to keep blankets wet. That's a lot of water and labor. The spray might cost more upfront but you save on the back end with less babysitting and no plastic waste to haul off.

no plastic waste to haul off" - my buddy used spray on a bridge deck and said cleanup took ten minutes compared to three hours of picking up wet burlap from his last job. Isn't that the real hidden win with this stuff?
