Vent: I was finishing a patio in Fresno last week and a homeowner asked why my broom lines were so deep.
I realized I'd been pressing way too hard with my finishing broom for years, which was causing premature wear on the surface, so what's the lightest touch you guys use for a good texture?

Man, that's a tough way to find out, but at least you caught it.

Read an article where a guy said to barely let the bristles kiss the surface. I try to keep just the tips touching, maybe a quarter inch of flex at most. It feels way too light at first but it leaves a perfect texture without digging in.
