The next test you should do is with admixtures pour, such as latex modifiers that increase strength 💪. Maybe soon?

The corp of engineers have been using dry poor in sand bags for erosion for years but chirt pop will cause major cracking on a load shift on the surface of the slab

From a family of concrete finishers. Three generations. I didn’t need this test to know dry pour was some BS. I’m glad others have evidence though.

Yeah it's about the method used. Wet mix will knit and bond well together plus there's less air in the mix.....Dry mix is exactly that it's dry and it won't mix or knit properly together.....Wet mix is my favorite way.

Hi, greetings from Germany. The color of the dry poor sample looks dark, that means wet. Comparing a wet concrete with a dry one would not be fair. Can you promise, that both samples were completely dry?

🤦‍♂When cutting stone of any kind (including concrete) wear a mask and ideally safety glasses!!!. And if you want to cut down on the dust use a misting water spray.

You have to dry pour a layer then wet it then pour another layer. Then you have to smooth out the top of it. People have had great luck with dry pour for what they wanted.

Depends on where you want dry pour and how thick. Dry pour does work if done correctly

DRY POUR DONT LAST, YOU PROTE IT, THANK YOU

Most people don't know how concrete even works. It's a chemical reaction and it must be mixed wet. It's DESIGNED to be wet mixed. I don't want to mix concrete either, but dry pour is not even close to a solution. It's laziness and or ignorance to how concrete works. Great video sir. You saved a bunch of people from wasting time and money!

Click bait. "Won't believe"? Really???

so if im not gonna be putting over 4 tons of weight on a dry pour it should crack as quick?

That means over here in new england you can't use that because molde will build up between the sub floor

Dry pour or dry poor brain ,just like brainless people trying this stupid method,read the instructions on the bags

how easy is it to do this on a concrete basement floor

Thank you so much for making this video. I have a concrete project I’m planning and I was going back and forth about using dry pour or wet. I’ll definitely be using wet pour since it is a high-traffic area. Thanks again - great content!

I appreciate these types of videos. I like to do things myself and i can pretty much find detailed instructions anywhere i want on CZcams. Thanks

We've been using dry pour to set fence posts for decades. Much easier than trying to pack dirt around the post. Put a couple of inches of gravel in bottom of hole, level post and pour hole full of dry mix. Just let ground water set the mix. Adequate strength for that application. I've never been tempted to use dry pour for anything else.

I had to stop watching when he started cutting without a mask. When was this filmed 1984

Dang a lang! That laser letter cut out tool is really cool! I wish I had your skills and tools!

You have a lot of really nice tools and skills! Way to go!

Misting concrete multiple times is more work than mixing concrete properly

What was the mix on the dry pour as that looks like to much sand and not cured yet

Please wear a dust mask, very toxic

Very interesting and educational, but there were a couple of typos: “not viscous enough” -> too viscous “9 lb” -> 9 tons “6 lb” -> 6 tons “direct pressure” -> concentrated pressure

Think of dry and wet pour as making a cake. Do you just pour all the dry ingredients in without mixing in your liquids like milk and egg?? Or do you just mist it periodically with milk and egg? 😅 No you have to moisten and mix your batter before pouring it into the pan. Think of concrete as batter. Concrete has been perfected over thousands and thousands of years people. The ancient Romans were the first to make concrete. Stop fucking with the recipe!

Is that a drier vent by the unit not the goodman the lighter grey unit. Got video on wet and dry pour

Wow, you can hardly tell where the crack was!

Dry pour is easy but I rather invest the time to do it right.

This is put together so well. In 8 minutes (I skipped over a few parts) I knew very clearly that I did NOT want to pour my own concrete. Thanks, fella!

Breaking some new ground here 😆

I heard you have to spray water every 2-3 inches when dry pouring.

Do you really want your expensive doctor to be the first person to explain to you what silicosis means? And Did you know DuPont contaminated every single person on this planet? 🤦‍♂️

Found that my dry pour stairs took the winter well (done last summer) and am finally noticing a color shift to white after the winter (8 months)...looks like it takes a lot longer for dry pour to fully set

Interesting test. Thanks! Suggestion: turn the pump, so the force is applied lowering the handle (then you can use your weight)

It seemed like the dry one was suspiciously wet

… dry pour only if you don’t like your project 🫧💥

I laughed the first time I saw a "dry poor🙂" video on youtube. As another commenter said, I "instinctively" knew the quality would not be nearly as good as the way it should be done. With the mentality of some people today, I wonder how many have tried this method while baking something...

Pouring the concrete into the hole, then the water, doesn't work. The two aren't mixed properly. You need to mix it prior to putting it in.

How did you get it that color. I have done dry poor and it never looked like that.

How to "repaid" ?

How is this even a discussion? Ive never heard anyone argue for "dry pour" or as ive always called it "you dont know what they fuck you are doing and are too lazy to do the job right"

rebar placed incorrectly. Think parameter..1 continuous rebar around the parameter 4 inches from the edge. If you have a longer run use 12 inch overlaps

I used this technique for a shop floor. 500 square feet. 2 years later, still working like a charm. Is it as strong as a wet pour? Hell no. But I could do it myself and set it all at once.

I dry poured a patio for my out door kitchen. And years later still looks new and guess what it’s now a sandy look like he said it matches the sidewalk slab that I connected it to. So yeah it does what I need it to do with no issues.

Interesting to see the results!

That looks small for 65,000 dollars

it makes sense because the wet pour requires mixing, which distributes the material much better, and creates a uniform bond.

What i think happens is when the top cures its actually holding in the moisture in the middle so it cant cure. Maybe dry pour but soak the whole thing through instead of just sprinkling water
