Sintering is part of the firing process used in the manufacture of pottery and other ceramic objects. 1  These objects are made from substances such as glass, alumina, zirconia, silica, magnesia, lime, beryllium oxide, and ferric oxide.
for our foundation, the footings were poured one day and the walls poured the next day. I think that is pretty standard. It is true that concrete takes 28 days to fully cure. 1 Like Bookmark January 20, 2010 at 12:44PM.
Re: Poured side walk/steps, how long to leave forms? I strip the forms 24 hours later, but am careful not to damage the new concrete. It will still be very soft and with crumble if you put too much force on the edges. Usually concrete will harden withing 30 days to the point where it is considered cured.
