I've noticed that as well and is using capping for low strenght concrete. I guess I have to stick to grinding and breaking at the same day.

Thanks for the reply Ron. And yes we do have all the ASTM standards in place, plus my company developed a guideline that has to be checked and filed everyday or whenever needed. I just cant seem to find anything about grinding. The only thing I can find related to this is the capping section...
