Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] milestone

Brian,
I built a ferro-cement 26' party barge several years ago. It was
outside and upside down for plastering and we covered it with one
sheet of black plastic. We made sure that the ground was soaked
underneath, the temperature went up to 120 or so and cured in a few
days.
