Materials Needed:

- Concrete curing compound

- Sprayer or roller

- Safety glasses

- Gloves

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Concrete

Make sure the concrete surface is clean, dry, and free of any debris.

Step 2: Apply the Curing Compound

1. If using a sprayer, hold the nozzle about 18 inches from the surface and apply the curing compound in a thin, even coat.

2. If using a roller, apply the curing compound in long, even strokes.

Step 3: Let the Curing Compound Dry

Allow the curing compound to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes between 24 and 48 hours.

Additional Tips:
