How soon do you put sealer on concrete?

Answer by  DackThrombosis (1093)

Basically you simply need to wait until you can walk on the concrete without leaving footprints or other indentations in the pour. In other words, wait until the concrete hardens. It's not going to kill you to wait a few days until the material is good and hard to put that sealant on. The wait won't hurt the concrete, either.

When we had our driveway poured with new concrete they put the sealer on the drive after the concrete cured. Which was about 5 days. This included the weekend which I assumed they did not work.

Depends on type of concrete. Some concrete is made so it takes hours/ days to cure. This type of concrete is generally weaker than concrete that takes weeks to cure.
