If it=E2=80=99s hardened it can=E2=80=99t be unhardened. However if it is ju=
st starting to harden dropping the bags may be able to break it up. If so, w=
hen you use it it will not set to the design strength. Unless you can get it=
 free I would think your labor would be worth more than the possible savings=
 of using this.=20

Keep well.=20

It's more than I need, but if I have to throw away 2/3rd of it, I'll still h=
ave enough.=20

My question is, can a sealed bag of concrete that may have had moisture be s=
alvaged?  If so, how or what do I need to do?=20

Thanks.=20
