inSix years of floating slabs before a guy in Reno asked why I finish before bleed water clears
I used to swear the mix was the problem every time. Blamed the plant, blamed the driver, blamed the weather. Then a finisher told me the same thing that guy in Reno told you, that I was getting on it way too soon when it was hot out. Took me a while to admit he was right because I'd been doing it that way for years. Now I wait and watch the bleed water instead of going by the clock, and the blisters mostly went away. Funny how fast you change your mind once someone points out the real cause.

inSerious question, why does everyone skip the owner's manual that comes with their hand tools?
Honestly I used to be the guy who tossed every manual straight in the trash, figured I could just look it up if I ever needed it. Then I spent a whole weekend fighting with a used table saw I bought, and the guy threw in the manual at the last second. Turns out the blade guard had a setup step that zero videos mentioned, and it fixed a kickback problem I was blaming on the blade. Now I keep every booklet in a plastic bin in the garage, and I've pulled it out way more times than I ever expected, especially for older stuff where nobody online has the right model. The paper knows things the internet doesn't, simple as that.
