thanks for doing the testing! If you could give us some charts, that would be great!

You didn’t convert your time to money though..

Ok it's been a year. How about a video about how you would change it to make it better. Tell us what you like about it and what you don't like about it.

Bro nice instructions and you seem like a cool guy.

Thanks for the test

You may need to dry pour that block on the ground so they absorb moisture from the ground. 🇺🇸✌️

Thanks for sharing. Learned something new. From the comments, looks like there are applications where dry pour is oaky, where there are no heavy loads. As for me, I think I will stick with wet pour. Thank you again for educating us.

Really great information. Thanks for the video. For me it’s a no brainer considering making the concrete wet adds minimal time to the overall project. Might use dry for fence posts, not much else

Not judging Brother but do you really have to ask permission from your spouse? She should be CD supporting of anything you decide yo do.

Did just mines with a flower bed, mini fence and stones. Wife loves it 😉

I usually just buy the concrete pads and throw them down where I want them never had a problem doing that in 30 years

Lol

brother! be careful cutting stone like that without water... the fine dust WILL give you silica cancer

Iv mixed a lot of concrete in wheel barrels and i found the best consistency happend with 3 bags and 3/4 of a 5 gallon bucket you can smack it and leave a hand print and nothing splashes back concrete lays down good and smoothes nicely

It’s goons be so slick, the unit will vibrate off the pad! 🤣😂

This is great if you don't do many compound miters, which I do, yes you can make three different inserts, but it's not very effective to keep switching them out, I made one used it for a week and then it went on the burn pile

65k for THAT !? you got scammed

I have the summers off and I’ve been watching UA-cam videos. Now I want a concrete slab and build a tiny house in my backyard.😂

It kinda looks like your (fiberglass) rebar is going to remain pretty much UNDER the concrete.

I guess when you mix concrete with watter, you get ride of most air bubles, and when you poor it, the liquid mixture apply a strong pressure that expulse all air bubles. Wheras with dry concrete, there is no mix and no pressure, so the concreete keeps all small air trapped inside and dries like a microscopic sponge...

Even at 2000 PSI it's pretty strong in compression at a design value of 400 PSI and it's about the same strength as wood

That is not 8 lb of pressure it is either 800 or 8,000. Show the exact pressure when the first crack starts I would say it would be at 1 ton.

A dry will never hydrate or distribute the aggregate properly so I would say it would have 1/10 the strength of poured concrete

A dry Poor is weaker than stucco

Love it!!❤

Geeze! No respirator/mask while cutting concrete slab!

Product sucks, and you can literally touch that part of the wall and it bounces, after paint dries it cracks, just do it the right way

perhaps not enough water for the dry pour mix?

Save 65k? Dont buy your kids phones. 😅😅

30k tops. 20k for the pool and other items.... 10k for installation. 🎉🎉

I don’t know who told you how to do a dry poor but that is not how you do it, I’ve only ever know to saturate the dry with water, if you would have left it exposed to the rain it would have surely benefited.

This cost me $600!!!!

The dry pour got less water to bond

Looks American to me 🇺🇲

Really interesting. And good for everyone to know. Thanks for doing this experiment!

What gives concrete its compressive strength is the aggregate. Dry and wet pour have the same aggregate. What isn't the same is the cement paste that binds the aggregate. Cement requires water in the right ratio to make a paste that binds the aggregate. The wet paste grows crystals that link together. Too much water and the paste becomes weak, to little water and the paste never forms. Dry pour never gives the cement the opportunity to see the correct water-to-cement ratio to create crystal growth in the paste. Watering it from the top "may" allow the top half inch or so to get the right ratio, but as the concrete on the top cures, it prevents the cement below from seeing much if any of the water that is now trapped on the top. The thicker the dry pour, the less chance it will ever see any crystal growth. Dry pour is a waste of time and resources, and if you're relying on it for structural integrity, say for footings, it may result in structural failure and injury. Follow the manufacturer instructions on all concrete DIY products. BTW: What gives concrete tensile strength is steel reinforcement, placed on chairs at the right depth in the pour. Not "pulled up" from the bottom. BTW #2: Fiber, either steel or fiberglass does NOT give concrete structures any structurally significant tensile strength. All it does is help to reduce concrete cracking during curing. IMO, fiber is a crutch, when what should be used to prevent surface or structural cracking is: 1) proper compaction of the sub-base to 98%, 2) steel reinforcement mesh or bar held up to the correct depth with plastic chairs, 3) vibrators used to ensure complete contact of the concrete with the reinforcement and reduction of voids, 4) control joints properly designed and installed, 5) constant wetting of the concrete surface for 7 days as soon as surface water disappears, or immediately if the concrete is exposed to sunlight; alternatively a surface sealer to keep the water in the slab and next to the surface to prevent dry out before crystal growth can finish.

lol ok really how often during that 30 days did u water down the dry one? should b everyday...........

concrete looks like shit

NEVER EVER DRY POOR

Thank you for this video... The should definitively show anyone who's dry pouring that it's waste of time and material... ...But Apparently it didn't. Reading the comments there's still people saying "You need to mist it more often... You misted it too much... You shoulda..." Shut da Fuk Up! Listen: Do you want good solid concrete?... Or do you want crumbly-ass garbage? How long does it take and how hard is it to mix a little concrete before you pour it? You are all trying to save yourselves an hour now that is going to cost you a day or days later on.

Everybody wants an easier way to do things....as the old saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it....

I learned that your contractor shouldn't deal with leveling of anything.

And wear a mask when you cut concrete, try using water while you cut. Not real good for your health.

Dry Pour Seems To Be Good For Small Jobs Like A Pad For A BBQ Grill Or A Plastic Storage Shed.Don't Want My House Or Any House Built On A Dry Pour Though😂.

Dang that sucks whomever should of dried in that roof knowing that there was a finished basement and a garage under it that would be damaged if water came in. I own a commercial roofing company and I would of killed my guys if they didn't dry that roof in every night. I felt absolutely horrible for you seeing all that damage. I'm not sure where your located but if you were one of my neighbors I would of sent you a dozen guys to help clean up and we would of done your roof at no cost so you would of had the money to cover the unexpected damage. That's just what neighbors do for each other.

Lmao...look how many so called CONCRETE experts crawled out of the woodwork to voice their imaginary facts.." 35 years I been pouring concrete< cant prove it so.just take my You Tube words....I checked airport runways after dry pours,but haven'tpublished and data to prove it..lmao.>I am ENGINEER but have no way to prove it...but you saw it here so it's a fact..I think...ROFL...All you SO CALLED experts afraid of something new?! Poor wittle KARENS.." We did like this for 60 years" of what? Overcharging ppl for a cement walkway ?! Saw 2 jobs get poured..on M14 in Michigan,they tested 2 miles of a wet pour cement and had them RIP IT OUT.!! They re-did a landing runway at DTW.( Detroit Merto Airport- for the clueless among you) " It will last 20 years..11 months later it started coming apart...lmao..then the pour they did on I96...3 months later...its scaling..kept trying add more cement on top of it to stop it...didn't work..now theor talk about having to rip it up and start over..funny how in Europe they give out warranties with evert job...I think 90% of you guys complaining,inhaled a lot of the dust..making you cement heads...

The hammer test revealed that it something went wrong, but I'd like to thank You anyway! Great experiment!

Probably the water you added concrete gets weaker the more water goes into it right?

When will a small slab experience 5 tons of pressure

YOU CAN PUT AN A/C UNIT ON A PALLET AND BE FINE ,THESE FOLKS ARE POURING CHEAP PATIOS ,NOT INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS , DRY POOR WILL BE FINE .
