Great demonstration, thank you. I wonder if dry pouring into a wire grid would prevent this, and therefore the benefit returns? But 'buyer beware' is clearly the message.
@@HomeRapidRepair Yeah I suppose something is better than nothing. Would be interesting to see it compared with "soupy" concrete, although I'd imagine the latter would still hold up better.
The crucial part is extensive watering during the first 24 hours after screeding to make sure it soaks all the way through before the surface gets to hard from the first mists. If you shower 12 times in 24 hours you'll be on the safe side. Fulll cure will be accomplished after a month like wet pour obviously.
You are 100% correct that the longer you allow concrete to cure the stronger it will get. Here’s another dry pour video I made: Dry Pour Concrete On Easy Mode ruclips.net/video/5hVRerRBUu8/видео.html
Might be the dry pour was still wet... just looking at the color (wetness) between the two. Maybe try it again after a few dry days and see if you find a difference? Nice video tho
So after the video, I noticed there was a dramatic color difference between the two. The premix wet pour was almost white. The dry pour was gray. I’m wondering if the Portland cement doesn’t get mixed properly with the dry pour. But yeah, doing a longer test with letting it cure more than 24 hours would be interesting as well. Good idea.
You did not apply enough water on the dry pour and in fact the dry pour was still not cured 🤦🏽♂️ I still will take wet pour over dry pour any day depending on the project
it's obvious the dry pour is still not cured I have a 4x4 fire pit dry pour and it's cured all the way through and is tuff as nails going to do my side walks next year the same way the most weight that will be on it is my garden tractor it'l be fine and if you get any soft spots there's patch cement that will strengthen it up at least that's what I figure
If it will hold your truck it will hold a garden shed or some patio furniture no problem. Thanks for the demo!
Thank you for watching 👍🏼😊

Yes 100%. You get it 👍🏼
Doubt it, you can see the first hammer hit the sides are already crumbling, it's like compressed dust and no reinforcement is gonna hold it together.
@@greentjmtl I think it’s only for very small projects and a home owner with literally no home improvement experience.

I agree that a strength test isn’t fair until a month curing time. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I watched other videos, they left the dry pour for at least 2 weeks before they do the strength test.

How many days till you took off the forms?
Just 24 hours. If I was doing the dry pour for like a little sidewalk I definitely would’ve kept it on longer.

Your points are valid. Although we did soak the dry pour multiple times in the evening off camera.
