Anyone know why they pour oil on the concrete base? Very toxic smelling.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Is it possible that the oil prevents the water from evaporating from the concrete as it cures (to make it stronger)? Or is it possible that it slows down the curing, and prevents cracks caused by the top layer curing more quickly than the interior? Just wild guesses. Anyone know?
