In our book, I mention we let our slab cure for 30 days.
However, a friend of mine, Jamie, alerted me that this cure might take a lot longer than 30 days in a humid climate!
Humidity could make a huge difference, even if there is not rain.
The reason this is important is because if the slab has too much moisture when the house sill or other things are added on top, this moisture can go into other materials and make them at risk for mold.
Heat and/or large fans may help.
In more extreme situations where humidity remains very high for weeks, I wonder if there is a way to put up some kind of thick tent and use a dehumidifier. I do not know. If anyone tries it and it works, please let me know. 😀
