That moment I realized wet curing for 7 days beats any spray-on sealer I've ever used

I poured a 20x30 patio for a customer in Austin last August and skipped the wet burlap method on day 3 because I was running behind, and by week 2 the surface had that ugly hairline cracking pattern that I'm still hearing about from the homeowner - has anyone else found wet curing to be more forgiving with Texas heat than the chemical stuff they push at the supply house?

My burlap setup lasted 2 days before my dog shredded it and started rolling on the wet slab.

Realized wet curing for 7 days beats any spray-on sealer" - I learned that lesson the hard way too, except my hairline cracks spelled out my forgot my lunch cooler on the slab. Did you ever try just soaking burlap with a garden hose timer?
