To do this they will sometimes just shoot against a flat board and build up a 4 to 5" depth of concrete. From this sample the lab can test for the concrete’s compression strength after 28 days. If a sample was shot and you still want the shell tested, a core can be pulled from the shell. A core is a large hollow drill bit that will be used to drill through the shell. The portion removed is then sent to a lab for testing. Tim When the pool is being shot, you can have the crew shoot a test panel.

It seems cube test wont give proper results. Is there a proper way gunite can be tested. I will appriciate if you can help me with any information in the matter.
