My old boss told me to never use a magnesium float on a garage floor
He said it would always leave marks and a steel float was the only way to go. I listened for years, until a job last fall in Tacoma where the mix was setting up way too fast. Out of desperation, I grabbed my mag float and it worked perfectly, no marks at all. The trick was keeping it super clean and using a light touch. I've used it on three garage floors since with zero issues. What's one piece of old-school advice you guys ended up tossing out?

Wait, you did a job in Tacoma last fall? That weather is all over the place up there. I'm shocked it worked so well, but @nancy524 is right, the mix changes everything. I guess the old rule just doesn't hold up if you know what you're doing.

Oh man, that's a good one. I always heard the same thing about mag floats. Turns out a lot of old rules just depend on the mix and the weather, right?
