• Get yourself a power trowel - [1]
• Polymesh F is an extra $5/yard for concrete work - [2]

Understanding Concrete Timing

In good weather - power trowel is about 2 hours after pour is finished.

• Batched at 6.
• Arrived on site at 7.
• Finished pour 8:30
• Start mag floats on edges at 10:20 AM
• Edger at 10:30
• 2:15 hours after pour ready to walk on, sinks about 1/8"
• Float blades first, finish blades second.
