Gunite Cure Time and Houston's Humidity: What Actually Happens

How Houston's heat and humidity affect gunite curing compared to a drier climate.

Humidity's Real Effect

Gunite cures through a chemical hydration process, and Houston's consistent humidity generally helps that process (dry, hot conditions that cause a shell to cure too fast are more of a concern in arid climates than here).

What Still Needs Managing

Heavy rain during the first days after gunite is sprayed can still affect surface finish if not properly protected, which is why the construction schedule is built around weather windows rather than a fixed calendar date.
