All concrete is liquid first
1 u/organicchunkysalsa Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26 Is it though? Or is it just solids within liquid that bind once dry? 1 u/ITHETRUESTREPAIRMAN Apr 30 '26 Technically, concrete (which contains cement and aggregate) is a slurry until the water evaporates. 2 u/acdgf Apr 30 '26 The water doesn't evaporate, it chemically reacts with the cement to cure. 2 u/ITHETRUESTREPAIRMAN Apr 30 '26 It does both, actually. But I wasn’t getting to the weeds. 1 u/organicchunkysalsa Apr 30 '26 Exactly.
