The curing process is exothermic so it's possible the insulated forms keep enough of that heat in to make the process work even in the cold.

- MisterTea 3y agoI once had to patch some broken pavement for insurance during mid December when it was 38 F out. After some research and speaking to a friend I covered the wet concrete with a trash bag and placed an old cargo blanket on top for insulation secured with a sheet of plywood weighted down with rocks. Cured just fine and ins agent was happy.
- tharkun__ 3y agoThey do concrete work in Canada in freezing temps all the time. It just can't be "too cold" or even the insulation / heating isn't enough. But in general 38F is "laughable" so to speak ;) Seen them do it in sub 0 (C of course, it's Canada) all the time.
