Nothing of value was lost? Have you ever tried tonfinish concrete before that shit is super annoying after its set up just enough to be hard to finish and still brittle enough to break
Be that as it may its a double edged blade. You gotta WAIT for it to set up in some cases depending on the finish you or yhe customer wants. A slick finish… you might as well just grab a sleeping bag because sometimes thats taken up to 15 hours because of how the customer wanted it and then the truck came and it was super fucking wet and we were indoors so there was no natural factors to help set the crete… dude yeah paid by the hour also means having a loooooong ass day then waking up early for the next. In construction at least.
Concrete burn as we call it. Basically concrete will cause a rash that progressively gets worse if not cleaned properly. How concrete sets is through a chemical reaction and its that reaction that will burn away your flesh if you let it set on your skin. It will also dehydrate you because concrete sucks the moisture out of everything it touches and as it sets excess moisture will raise to the top
I never knew how it worked. I just know that somewhere I read that the chemicals that make wet cement turn into rock when it got dry instead of just being cracked and crumbly earth, was the same chemical that would burn you if it stayed on your skin too long.
