Realized I was overworking my float way too early on every slab, and the fix was right in front of me
Been finishing slabs for 12 years and always jumped on the bull float the second the bleed water cleared. Last month on a 30x40 shop pour in Boise I watched an old timer wait another 20 minutes and his surface came out glass smooth with half the passes. Turns out I was trapping water under the cream and fighting it the whole time with my magnesium float. Cost me extra trowel passes on every job for years. What signs do you all look for before you know it's actually ready?

Wait, we're supposed to wait? Been guessing wrong for years too.
