From Concrete Step Repair, Step 5: Cure the Patch
To ensure proper curing and maximum strength development, the newly applied concrete patch must be kept damp for at least 30 minutes after application. Achieve this by either continuously spraying the patch with a fine mist of clean water using a spray bottle or by covering it with a wet cloth. On hot or sunny days, it is crucial to shade the repair surface from direct sunlight, perhaps with an umbrella or tarp, to prevent rapid drying. Rapid drying can lead to cracking and weaken the patch, so maintaining moisture is key.
