Additionally, ensure that all moisture and bleed water have been removed before applying a concrete finish.
Troweling is an effective technique for creating a smooth, uniform look that can be used in residential and commercial settings. A hand float can also produce a fine texture and help with levelling out any high or low areas on the surface.
