Concrete island counter installed and waiting for it's speed cure treatment...
Once made, concrete countertops can take up to 4 additional weeks to cure -- your countertop could be off-gassing in your home for some time after it arrives. Josh at J. Aaron Cast Stone countertops shared a simple tip with me that cuts that curing time by 80%. Simply wipe the entire surface with a mix of 1:1 vinegar and water. Is there anything that vinegar can't do? :) CLARIFICATION - Check with your manufacturer, as other countertops from different suppliers may be destroyed by this method. Thank you, Josh for the clarification!!

Yes... and Powerblanket will also speed up the job by pre-heating slabs and curing wet concrete.
