Start watering as soon as it shows signs of surface drying, Shotcrete/Gunite is to stay continuously hydrated during curing of the first seven days. I have started watering even while the Shotcrete crew is still working on the other end of the shell. Here’s a picture of proper hydration system.

What happens if you don't water it? My builder never told me any of this so we didn't water.
