What happens here

Apply a broom finish to the concrete surface at the appropriate time to add texture and increase slip resistance. If you broom too early, when the concrete is still too wet, you will get a bad, messy finish with uneven texture. Wait until the bleed water has evaporated and the concrete has stiffened slightly but is still workable. This will result in a uniform and attractive broom finish.

Goal: Create a uniform, textured, and slip-resistant concrete surface with a broom finish.

on. If we pull the forms too early, this edge will come with it. If we pull these forms at the right time and the right way, this edge can be easily finished. If you broom too early, you'll get a bad finish. If we broom finish at the right time, this will turn out much better. So, even though this might look like an easy job, I'm saving this one. It's a lot more work than you might think. Thanks for watching.
