OK - the concrete in the Hoover dam is still curing...but it's in
use. ;-) Check with the local concrete authorities and get their
professional advice, rather than ask for opinions from users of the product.

Concrete reaches maximum strength after a cure of about 30 days. No way I

Check with your concrete company and get their advice - I had 4000 psi
delivered and poured, and the company recommended 24 hours to cure
sufficiently - I waited 48 to be safe. No problems.
