I apologize if this has been covered but I was unable to find anything after doing a quick search.
A problem I have faced several times with contractors onsite is that we are often "bullied" and eventually cater our schedule to test FF/FL prior to saw cutting operations, even though the specifications only call for testing within the first 48-72 hours of placement.
My question is: as long as we use a Dipstick (some that is able to "walk" over saw cuts) and do a good job of sweeping the surface clean of any debri prior to testing, is there any significant difference testing when the slab is finished and ready, as opposed to hopping on first thing the following morning (no more than 12 hours later)? We are in a constant battle right now of just making sure we have techs available to cover various sites, so it's easier sometimes for us to come out first thing the following day.
And if we could maybe turn this into a generic FF/FL thread with other generic tips, that would be great. Thanks!
