Vent: I thought I was a pro at bull floating until a job in Dallas last month

I've been bull floating for years, always right after the bleed water came up. On a big warehouse slab in Dallas, the foreman told me to wait an extra 15 minutes. I argued but did it, and the finish was way smoother with fewer lines. It clicked that I'd been rushing it and fighting the concrete's own timing. How many of you have had a 'wait longer' tip actually work out?

Honestly, that extra wait sounds like a waste of time. I've never had a problem hitting it right on schedule.

Never had a problem" doesn't mean it's not a real issue for some setups though.
