NOTE: Keep in mind deductibles do not apply to liability auto insurance coverage, as that pays for damages incurred by another driver when you cause an accident. Rather, it would apply to coverage types that pay your damages, such as collision or comprehensive coverage.
Re: Poured side walk/steps, how long to leave forms? I strip the forms 24 hours later, but am careful not to damage the new concrete. It will still be very soft and with crumble if you put too much force on the edges. Usually concrete will harden withing 30 days to the point where it is considered cured.
If, when pouring concrete into the mold, you come up short you can add some additional gravel to the wet concrete to raise the level.Releasing Castings:1. Concrete can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 24 hours to set it all depends on what concrete mix is used, weather conditions, and the size of the mold.
