Fijicrete cure times

[shiftline]

I'm building mine with dry rock.. (just dipped the edges to get it wet where i was trying to bond it) Does this have to cure under water? ... is it not working because its air drying?

Probably best to shoot Eli a message or give him a call.

Just gave him a call.. hes going to shoot a video for me later wooo!


Its possible it may have moved to soon? maybe the dog nicked it? who knows.. I'm going to try again tonight on the desk, and not touch it for a day or two.. then do a new join.. wait a day or two.. hopefully this works.

Awesome, Goodluck with the build.

So in my new slightly smaller arch I made some fijicrete putty and shoved it into the crack beteeeen the rock and the ground. Hopefully this will create a smooth base and prevent any movement

after picking up another few bags of fijicrete (thanks Eli!)

I have learned that the secret to this stuff is work quick then dont touch it for a while.. and when i say I while i mean 6 hours to over night ideally.. And only do one joint at a time..(at least when using it out of water). I have been trying to do one connection a day.

Its been a bit of a slow process but i think i have my structure almost there.
Let me know what you guys think or if you have any tips.

Looks good, glad you got it figured out

my pleasure.
at the right side arch I would be careful as it seems you have little Fijicrete or looks separated.
otherwise looks good and get some help to have your aquascape moved into place.
