Most commonly, the caffeine is in coffee, tea, soft drinks, and chocolate. This adds up to an average of about 280 mg of caffeine per day, or the equivalent of about two cups of coffee.
Wait 30 Days. New concrete should cure for at least 30 days before being painted, according to Sherwin-Williams. However, even if that time frame has passed, the paint company recommends testing for moisture.Do this by duct taping a 2-foot-by-2-foot piece of plastic to the floor or wall.t's wise to let concrete cure for 60 days before painting, according to the Valspar paint company. After the concrete dries, Valspar and Sherwin Williams both say you should acid etch the concrete so paint will adhere to it.
Moisture and Alkalinity. Too much moisture in new concrete can cause paint to bubble. It usually takes at least 30 days for moisture to dissipate enough for paint to adhere. You can test for moisture by taping a piece of foil to the surface, sealing all the edges with tape, and checking for condensation after 24 hours. If there is no condensation, the concrete is dry enough for painting. High alkaline levels also can stop paint from sticking to the concrete. It can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days for alkaline levels to drop enough for painting. Test the pH, and look for levels 9.0 and 10.0.
