## The treated layer shall be cured to retain moisture for the reaction, and the curing method shall be selected for the treatment type and climate.
### Cement-stabilized layers lose surface strength and crack if they dry before the reaction completes; a curing membrane or continuous moist curing protects the surface until an overlying course is placed. {note}

## Fly ash is used standalone (Class C, which is self-cementing) or as a Class F plus lime blend (Class F is not self-cementing and must be activated by lime). Class F plus lime blends shall be designed in the laboratory because the proportions are not fixed. {note}

## Lift thickness is limited by the depth a single mixing pass can treat uniformly. A single lift is typically 6 to 12 in.; treatment deeper than the single-pass capacity shall be performed in two lifts. {note}

### Each treated lift shall be at least 6 in. (150 mm) and shall not exceed the depth the selected mixing equipment can pulverize and blend uniformly in a single pass, typically 12 to 14 in. (305 to 355 mm).

### The finished elevation and tolerance of the treated layer shall be coordinated with the overlying course requirements of [[sync/aggregate-base-course]] or [[sync/asphalt-paving]] so that the design section thickness is preserved.
