I finally gave up on magnesium floats for garage floors after a bad pour in Tacoma

Honestly, I used to swear by them for everything, but last month on a 30 yard garage job, the finish just wouldn't set right and we had to grind out a bunch of marks. I switched back to a basic aluminum bull float for the first coat and the difference in control was huge, especially on that mix. Anyone else find magnesium can be too aggressive on some pours?

My buddy in Spokane said he only uses magnesium floats on super wet mixes now, like maybe one in ten jobs.

Only on one in ten jobs? Garcia.miles' buddy must be pouring soup.
