You're probably looking at several days for curing. Likely weeks
(or even months) before covering with wood flooring over fresh concrete.

Ugh.

Umm, AFAIK, this is untrue. Let it cure for a day or two and you could
throw down a vapor barrier and go to town.

Hi John,

Thanks for the second opinion. According to the Quikrete website the
'fast-settings' version should be good after 24 hours (and it even
mentioned that you can walk on it after 6!). But I figured that must be
a best-case-scenario for outdoors work. I'm sure being inside will slow
down the curing -- but weeks sounded a bit much.

Of course, if Chris' goal was to frighten me away from the project, well
consider the warning heeded. It's looking more and more like something
that will be done sometime over the next few years instead of next few
weeks.
