Would you use this Quikrete Concrete Sealer (no. 8800) to facilitate curing of a slab?
Anybody have something better they like?

i would stay away from anything that has "Quikrete" on it, unless your doing post holes for a mail box, or fence. what kind of slab are you trying to cure, what kind of concrete do you plane on using, what are the weather conditions? alot goes into picking a curing process.
24'x24' garage slab. Weather should be cool (starting in about 3 weeks).

Go to your local concrete plant and ask them what THEY use for a sealer. Some sealers can be just sprayed on, others will need to be "brushed on" using a large, close-napped paint roller. " Although I have the right to remain stupid, I try not to abuse that right"
i wouldn't use any sealer at all. i would just keep the slap moist for 3 day. you can use a lawn sprinkler, that seems to work best. water based sealer are a waste of money, they wash off and don't last long. keeping the slab wet for a few days does the same thing as a water based sealer.
if your trying to protect the slab, you can use a acrylic sealer. this will last much longer then a water based sealer. i don't like to used acrylic sealer as a curing compound because they can make the concrete look blotchy. with they acrylic sealer i wait as long as i can before aplying.
