What happens here

Once the concrete has been poured and roughly leveled, begin the floating process. Use a magnesium float to flatten the surface, remove any imperfections, and bring a layer of 'cream' (fine cement paste) to the top. When floating treads, move the float in the direction of the tread length, applying smooth, even pressure.

Goal: Level and smooth concrete surface
