Can we cure concrete specimens using their own humidity?

11 November 2014 0 1K Report

I want to put my specimens in the nylon lacuna up to 28 days and actually I don't allow evaporation of their water to complete hydration procedure.

Is that an acceptable method as curing procedure instead of curing by water?
