I am running out of time this year to finish the pizza oven, so I want to get to a good stopping point.
I have my base poured and am going to do 4" of vermiculite. Can I pour the vermiculite and let it sit during the winter and resume next spring without any problems?
I would wait a week or so so that it is dry from the last rain/snow melt.
Logically, it would be no different than the mixture being saturated from being poured, but there may be some drying action during the initial cure that would be lost during the winter and it may absorb water.
The reason I want to do it now rather than wait is that I have the form already set from the slab, so it would be easy to add the 4" form for the vermiculite.
thanks
