Fast Curing Hypertufa

18 years ago

Hi!

I'm new to Hypertufa, but I'd really like to make some planters.

It's a bit overwhelming with all the recipies that are out there and I have read that you can plant in the pots 24-48 hours after and then also read to wait 6-8 weeks before you use them.

I'd really like to find a recipe for a fast curing hypertufa, if possible. I'm supposed to leave to visit the in-law's next weekend and so I'd like to get something finished soon so I can the plants in the planters by then. Any thing you could pass on that might help with this?

I don't know of anyone on this site planting a container in 24-48 hours. The planters are still green and can crack very easily at that point. Most of us are just unmolding and cleaning and carving at the 24-48 hour.
I would think that the container would be cured enough to plant in about 3 days.
As far as recipes, there are quite a few in the FAQ section of this forum. Billie
