Our take on the Quikrete 1004-50 Fast Setting Concrete Mix

Quikrete Fast Setting Concrete Mix is a 50 lb bag of general-purpose concrete that reaches final set in 20 to 40 minutes. That speed makes it the pick for setting fence and mailbox posts and pouring small slabs where you want to finish and move on the same day. It is not a substitute for standard-cure mix on structural work: fast-setting blends gain strength quickly but are harder to work and finish, and they leave less time to adjust a post once the water is in. Compared with regular Quikrete Concrete Mix, it trades working time for speed.

Questions and answers

How long before I can stop holding a post?
The mix reaches final set in 20 to 40 minutes. Keep the post braced and plumb until then, and give it longer before loading it.
Can I use it for a large slab?
It is meant for posts and small slabs. For larger pours, a standard-cure mix gives more working and finishing time.
How much water do I add?
Add water gradually and mix to a workable consistency, since the blend sets fast. Mix only what you can place within the set window.
Does it work in cold weather?
Fast-setting mixes generate heat as they cure, but freezing temperatures still slow strength gain. Keep the mixed concrete from freezing until it sets.
How much does one bag cover?
A 50 lb bag yields roughly half a cubic foot, enough to set a typical post in a hole about 8 to 10 inches across and 2 to 3 feet deep.
