Switched to a wet cure on my last patio pour and it saved me big time
For about 5 years I always just sprayed my concrete down with water and covered it with plastic. Thought I was doing it right. Then I saw a guy on a job in Cleveland soaking burlap and laying it on top of a slab. He kept it wet for 7 days straight. I tried it on a 400 square foot patio last month and not a single hairline crack showed up. The finish was way stronger when I tested it with a chisel too. Has anyone else made the switch from plastic to burlap for curing?

You've had any issues with the burlap drying out on you halfway through the day?

Are you soaking them overnight first?
